== Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Computer hardware ==

[[Wikipedia:Release Version|Wikipedia 0.7]] is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team]] has made an [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/release-data/2008-9-13/HTML/ automated selection of articles for Version 0.7].

Line 55 ⟶ 56:

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Dixy flyer|Dixy flyer]] ([[User talk:Dixy flyer|talk]]) 16:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

==Category:Laplets==

'''[[:Category:Laplets]]''', which is within the scope of this WikiProject, has been nominated for '''Merging''' into [[:Category:Microsoft Surface]].

== Suggest to spin off [[Personal Computer Memory Card International Association]] (=the IT consortium) into article distinct from [[PC Card]] (=the hardware standard) ==

On 3 September 2013, [[User:Matthiaspaul]] made a major contribution to the [[PC Card]] article by creating the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PC_Card&type=revision&diff=571440489&oldid=570739248 History section] which, among the history proper of the PC Card standard, also includes detailed and well-supported information about its creators, viz. the PCMCIA Association.

While the Association as such and its (arguably) foremost standard are closely related, they are in my view nonetheless two distinct, well-definded topics on their own, and hence would deserve separate articles &#8211; linked back and forth, of course. This is by the way the approach taken in other-language WPs and would greatly increase the visibility of said information for other-language visitors coming from a (less detailed) "PCMCIA" / "Personal Computer Memory Card International Association" article in their own language, only to find to their surprise that there is technically no English equivalent at present!

I am aware that initially the two topics indeed had distinct articles in the English WP which were then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Personal_Computer_Memory_Card_International_Association&type=revision&diff=373144445&oldid=372446694 merged in 2010], but at the time without any rationale or user discussion. So in the light of the arguments put forth above, and the development over recent years, I would suggest to separate the two topics again, and volunteer to do the handiwork involved.

Opinions/comments anyone? -- Thanks, [[User:HReuter|HReuter]] ([[User talk:HReuter|talk]]) 00:32, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

: Hi all. This proposal makes sense, IMO. I support it, in particular if you can add more information to the topics. The association is a distinct topic from its various products, of which PCMCIA cards were only one. And both are notable, so they deserve their own articles.

: This would not only make it easier to cross-link between Wikipedias, but also improve our internal organization (orthogonality).

: Also, the original merge was carried out badly with a much too short time for discussion and most of the contents in the former article not actually merged into the new target.

== Request for information on WP1.0 web tool ==

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the [[User:WP_1.0_bot|WP 1.0 Bot]]! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the [[:toolforge:enwp10/cgi-bin/pindex.fcgi|web tool]] that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScK30kJtKQ3cp-QLY1VJhB94HP2q6437Cdk3E2rVRYHowcL4A/viewform?usp=sf_link this Google form] where you can leave your response.

Hello! You're still a participant in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing/Computer_hardware_task_force|WikiProject Computing Computer Hardware Task Force]]. This is just a reminder, as the project has been inactive for a while, and I wanted to give you a chance to review your participation.

== Clarification on Intel core revisions versus actual new architectures ==

The articles on Intel chips from about 2008 onward are a clusterf**k of misinformation. Microarchitectures are big families of similar designs. Netburst, for example, is a microarchitecture that includes the Willamette, Northwood, Prescott, and Cedar Mill cores. AMD's Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller, and Excavator chips are all the same microarchitecture. But the articles on Intel chips from ~2008 onward seem to be written by Intel fanboys who erroneously refer to every single tick and tock as a "new architecture" in an attempt to exaggerate the technological progress that Intel has been making. Can we please clean this crap up and clarify which chips are actually new clean-sheet designs and which are just enhancements of previous designs? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/73.70.13.107|73.70.13.107]] ([[User talk:73.70.13.107#top|talk]]) 07:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== [[:Template:Sidebar arithmetic logic circuits]] ==

Please help! Expert eyes are needed at [[Template talk:Sidebar arithmetic logic circuits]].

In a nutshell, there is disagreement about the template caption. Originally "Part of a series on the ALU", I renamed it "Part of a series on arithmetic logic circuits" per the proposal and reasons given at the top of the talk page. The proposal seemed uncontroversial at the time, and objections were not raised for more than a year. This seems like it should be a straightforward matter but the conversation has moved sideways and evolved into a giant wall of text. The discussion is in desperate need of input from independent experts to get things back on track and reach a satisfactory resolution.
