Hi Rilak.
I'm reading with growing fascination your articles on the PA-RISC processors, currently the new page on PA-8000. What bothers me, however, is -- I'm the author of OpenPA.net -- that the PA-8000 page and its content are, well, quite similar to the OpenPA CPU page. This includes even most of the same references for the single PA-8x00 processors that I used.
What's the point of this? Rephrasing the information I compiled on that page?
And OpenPA isn't even mentioned anywhere.
I find it very odd you have mostly the same information, according to almost the same references as the CPU sections on OpenPA.
What's that supposed to be?
And how am I supposed to feel, after compiling this information for years, and now seeing very similar information with very similar structure with almost identical references on Wikipedia?
This is not the right way to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.24.236 ( talk) 07:57, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Your SpaceBalls reference is to a brand name. A generic name would be better.

Regarding a PowerPC 620 article. Yes, If one/we/you can gather enough for one stand-alone article I'm supporting that. The reason to merge all 6xx articles into one was that there was too little for stand-alone articles. I'm happy that you are engaging the POWER3 article too. POWER4 and POWER5 is in pretty bad shape too.. We could perhaps do something there too. -- Henriok ( talk) 16:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
I still think the G3 and G4 articles should be renamed. You have my blessing. I think it would be hard for someone to disagree with such a move. May I suggest "PowerPC 750" and "PowerPC 7400"? -- Henriok ( talk) 15:18, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Nothing is wrong with the IEEE link, it's just not integrated into Rock article. And I don't understand why you even need to ask what's wrong with the link. You edit showed that you also think it's a mess, and that's why you did some copy-edits before you merged it back.
So be careful with what you put in the comment. Raysonho ( talk) 15:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
You added the date 1997 to the article. However on a PDF it says the first edition of the document was released on Dec 26, 2005. http://documentation.renesas.com/eng/products/mpumcu/rej09b0235_32185_186hm.pdf -- Frap ( talk) 16:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, this is regarding your edit on Template:Computer sizes. You undid a few of my edits with the reason
Not all workstations are PCs; home computers are not PCs; not all desktops are PCs, workstations or home computers
However, I consulted the individual articles for workstation, home computer and desktop computer and found that home and desktop computers are regarded as personal computers exclusively. Workstation is a bit different, with the original workstations being differentiated from PCs, but the newer workstations seem to be PCs, since they use PC components.
Can you please clarify regarding this matter? Thanks. -- CoolingGibbon ( talk) 21:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Last month you PRODded these, and they were deleted. Undeletion has now been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored them, and now notify you in case you wish to consider taking them to AfD. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 14:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
In view of this contested prod. Please add reliable sources to the article. It has been a WIP, as you call it, for 3 years without anyone adding a single source. GDallimore ( Talk) 15:02, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
After having a look at the previous versions of these articles, I think that the paragraphs were too long and should have been reduced in length. However, your changes are excessive in my opinion.
Some of this breaking apart of the paragraphs was needed. Sometimes articles are so bad when it comes to paragraph bunching that there is some "flying by the seat of your pants" editing you have to do.
If you can clean the edits up into something better and more readable, do so as needed -- anything is mostly better than what was previously existent.

Hi. When you raise an AfD, it's good practice to notify the article's creator, and perhaps other major contributors, with {{ subst: AfD-notice|article name|AfD discussion title}}. I admit that the instruction at WP:AFD#Notifying interested people says it is not required, but it helps avoid complaints like this one about RouterTech.

You will find that many editors are willing to give articles relating to Linux or open source software a free pass. Insisting that they meet sourcing guidelines might do harm to the Great Cause, and that's what you're dealing with. Fortunately, most of those articles are not written in solution-speak, which is what annoys me more than anything else. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:49, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

In WP:HYPHEN, the third use (regarding compound modifiers) explains when to use a hyphen, and the fourth bullet point says: "A hyphen is not used after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary)". This also is in agreement with with most other style guides; grammarbook.com says "When adverbs not ending in -ly are used as compound words in front of a noun, hyphenate." The USDA also says "Do not use a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb (e.g., newly germinated seed)." and cites the Wikipedia Manual of Style, saying it takes precedence over the Chicago Manual of Style (but the CMOS also handles these constructions the same way). Wikipedia's MoS has had this recommendation for years. Try this in your favorite search engine: «hyphen "adverbs not ending in -ly"» (but omit the guillemets and keep the double quotes). Happy editing! Chris the speller yack 14:35, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello, it looks like you are one of the few with the patience to help improve the sorry state of the computer-related articles. So what do you think of my idea of expanding this one into a historic narrative with links to more specific articles, etc.? Then we can either change system bus model to a redirect, or do yet another RfD or Prod. The von Neumann architecture article also needs more help, but that can be done over time since the sources are myriad. The diagrams might also need some work, but I am not an .svg expert (yet?).

Hello. Concerning the closure and relisting of the Natami AfD: I was approached by two uninvolved administrators who felt that although my rationale may be true, that my subsequent discussion with User:Tothwolf on my talk page gives off the impression that my rationale was based on my personal opinion on whether the magazine is a reliable source to establish notability. It was not, but with the ANI notice already surrounding the topic I felt there was no reason to go through the drama of another ANI or DRV and a fresh AfD might (have) result(ed) in no SPAs.--v/r - T P 13:38, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
