== 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].

We would like to ask you to review the [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/release-data/2008-9-23/HTML/Computer_hardware.s0.html articles selected from this project]. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at [[Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7]]. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at [[Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations]].

A [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/cgi-bin/problems.cgi list of selected articles with cleanup tags], sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with [[Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Copyediting|copyediting requests]], although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at [[User:SelectionBot/0.7/X-1|this project's subpage]] of [[User:SelectionBot/0.7]]. We are planning to release the selection before December 2008, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, [[User:SelectionBot|SelectionBot]] 16:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

==[[RAM Limit]] at AfD==

[[RAM Limit]] has been nominated for deletion. [[Special:Contributions/76.66.196.229|76.66.196.229]] ([[User talk:76.66.196.229|talk]]) 07:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Article alerts|Article alerts]]==

This is a notice to let you know about '''''[[Wikipedia:Article alerts|Article alerts]]''''', a [[WP:BOTS|fully-automated]] subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]], [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment|Requests for comment]], [[Wikipedia:Peer review|Peer review]] and other workflows ([[Wikipedia:Article alerts#Workflows covered|full list]]). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found [[Wikipedia:Article alerts#Samples|here]].

If you are already subscribed to ''Article Alerts'', it is now easier to [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/Bugs|report bugs]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/Feature requests|request new features]]. We are also in the process of implementing a [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/News|"news system"]], which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the <code>display=none</code> parameter, but forget to '''give a link''' to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts]].<!--Addbot-WP-Message-Article-alerts-01-->

<small>Message sent by [[User:Addbot]] to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome [[User_talk:Addbot|here]].</small>

== Disk storage article ==

Hi all

I am concerned that the article [[Disk storage]], covering such topics as Gramaphone records, CD audio and HDD's, is being hijacked into "Computer disk storage"

Is it on one of your lists for attention ?

== WP 1.0 bot announcement ==

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|WP 1.0 assessment system]]. On '''Saturday, January 23, 2010''', the [[User:WP 1.0 bot|WP 1.0 bot]] will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Computer hardware articles by quality statistics|summary table]] will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the [[Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Index|WP 1.0 project homepage]]. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 03:10, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

==Category:Computer Storage - Proposed Improvement==

Before I go wildly implementing a change I agree with which was proposed over 5 years ago at the following link, I wanted to get some feedback since I assume this group would be interested and it appears the group in which the comment was posted was not interested in making the change.

== RFC on the inclusion of a table comparing SI units and binary prefixes ==

'''Notice:''' An RFC is being conducted here at '''[[Talk:Hard_disk_drive#RFC_on_the_use_of_the_IEC_prefixes|Talk:Hard diskdrive#RFC on the use of the IEC prefixes]]'''. The debate under consideration is the use of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hard_disk_drive&oldid=423180773#Capacity this table] of the “[[Hard disk drive]]” which includes a column comparing [[binary prefixes]] to describe capacities. We welcome your input--[[User:RaptorHunter|RaptorHunter]] ([[User talk:RaptorHunter|talk]]) 17:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Here also is a link to MOSNUM’s guidance on this issue: [[Wikipedia:MOSNUM#Quantities of bytes and bits]]. I hope that helps. [[User:Greg L|Greg L]] ([[User talk:Greg L|talk]]) 17:51, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[DAG Technology]] ==

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[DAG Technology]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:

:'''non notable, spam-like article. all references are from the company developing this'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:DAG Technology|the article's talk page]].

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)

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.
