Line 253:
These articles about arrays have become a collection of ORIGINAL RESEARCH which is not the purpose of WP.
An array is called just an 'array' and hardly ever called an 'array structure'. The hair-splitting activity w/r/t to 'array data structure' and 'array data type' is similarly obscure. Someone please provide definitive reference to the legitimacy of the terms and their definition. The new set of articles is confusing and almost incomprehensible even for knowledgeable readers. Side-by-side comparison of the original with the new clearly reveals that the original array article was superior article for encyclopedic use.

::: MOVED MATERIAL FROM PERSONAL TALK PAGE: Hi, you removed the [[:Template:distinguish:Array data type]] from [[array data structure]] and added "original research" and "expert attention needed" in addition to the "unreferenced" and "cleanup needed" tags that I had already put there. Now, I won't call myself an expert, but I have been programming data strcutures for 40 years, and I am quite familiar with language design, type theory, etc.., from COBOL to Modula-3. So, Yes, those articles still need a lot of checking and editing; but I dare say that they are a bit better than the original [[Array]] article. The main problem of the latter (which is still present in [[data type]] and other related articles) was a pervasive confusion between "data strcutures", "data types", and "abstract data types", which are three very different things. What I did was basically separate the first two. Besides, much of the material in the two new articles came from the old Array article. So, if you feel uncomfortable about some parts, please be more specific,and we may discuss them. All the best, --[[User:Jorge Stolfi|Jorge Stolfi]] ([[User talk:Jorge Stolfi|talk]]) 07:56, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
