== Way too big? ==

Once and for all, is it correct to say "ANSI" to the Windows code pages? Currently, some pages on wikipedia say it's wrong (as ANSI never defined these code pages, but Microsoft just says "ANSI" to it anyway), while this article makes the impression that it is ok. --[[User:Abdull|Abdull]] 23:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

:Well microsofts technical documents use that term all over the place and i don't belive anyone uses the term ansi code page for anything else. I can't imagine ANSI are particularlly happy about having thier name put to something that isn't thiers though. I guess it all depends on how you define right and wrong ;) [[User:Plugwash|Plugwash]] 10:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

:::ANSI explicitly disavows any understanding of the standards they publish, and explicitly repudiates any suggestion that they have an opinion about the meaning of their standards. So if you want to say, for example, that the first 127 code points all represent the same character .... ANSI doesn't have an opinion on that. Wikipedia on the other hand.... <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/124.188.134.186|124.188.134.186]] ([[User talk:124.188.134.186#top|talk]]) 06:05, 25 October 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Removal of chart ==

I have removed the charts of the code pages from this article, and put all the information that was left in a miscellaneous section. I am using the latest version of the screen reader [[JAWS (screen reader)|JAWS]] on a fairly fast computer and JAWS froze for thirty seconds when I entered this page. I almost couldn't edit the section with the chart to remove it. I can understand that happening at somewhere like [[wikipedia:articles for deletion/yesterday]] or [[wikipedia:requests for adminship]] when it is busy, but JAWS should never freeze for more than a few seconds when I enter an article. Not even the article [[United States]] is that taxing on JAWS resources. The charts for code pages are available elsewhere on the Internet in an uneditable form.

== More than two groups of code pages ==

{{Cquote|text=There are two groups of code pages in Windows systems: OEM and ANSI code pages.}}

There are actually 4 groups of code pages,: ANSI, OEM, Mac and EBCDIC under Windows.

All of them can vary dependent on the locale of the Windows version.
