- 22:4322:43, 18 July 2024 diff hist −1 Interface Message Processor →History: Get rid of end-of-paragraph space. current
- 22:3222:32, 18 July 2024 diff hist +382 Talk:Windows Console →Silly claim: Fixed. current
- 22:2822:28, 18 July 2024 diff hist −7 Windows Console →Implementations: As per Talk:Windows Console#Silly claim, Windows NT 3.1 preceded Windows 95 and had Windows Console support. State, instead, that "In Windows 3.1 and earlier, there is no native support for consoles.". current
- 19:3919:39, 18 July 2024 diff hist +511 Bill Ackman Undid revision 1235277560 by 82.43.209.102 (talk) - it pertains in that it describes something to which Ackman responded; removing it leaves the next paragraph's "In response" referring to a response to a mysterious un-described event. current Tag: Undo
- 08:2608:26, 18 July 2024 diff hist +16 We Will Rock You →Parodies and references to the song: Link, and italicize, Friends, and note that "The One Where Ross Moves In" is the name of an episode. current
- 06:5206:52, 18 July 2024 diff hist +11 Etty Lau Farrell →Early life and career: Indicate what "EDGE PAC" is before using the abbreviation. current
- 06:5006:50, 18 July 2024 diff hist −1 Perry Farrell →Personal life: Copyedit.
- 05:4805:48, 18 July 2024 diff hist −3 Direct memory access →Third-party: copyedit, request a citation as per Kvng's earlier reversion.
17 July 2024
- 21:2121:21, 17 July 2024 diff hist −7 Stored-program computer →History: List the Zuse Z3 and the Harvard Mark I as early computer programmed with punched tapes, and mention the Colossus computer in another clause of that sentence rather than in a separate sentence that's a bit redundant. current
- 20:2820:28, 17 July 2024 diff hist +43 Talk:Burroughs MCP As that section's "discussion closed" header says, no more edits should be made to it. Move the *new* request for a rename to a new section of its own. current
- 06:0606:06, 17 July 2024 diff hist +4 Aspark →History: They have a page. (Not to be confused with Fabbrica Italiana Automobili di Torino.) current
- 06:0406:04, 17 July 2024 diff hist −20 Aspark →History: There's an echo in here. Just refer to them as "Aspark".
- 05:2905:29, 17 July 2024 diff hist +200 Xerox Alto →History: Xerox PARC was *part* of Xerox, so, even if they built all the Altos themselves, it would have been built by Xerox. It was subcontracted to their El Segundo Special Programs Group. Link Abbey Silverstone the first time he's mentioned, and just refer to him and Doug Stewart by their last names the second time they're mentioned. Point to an on-line copy of Carl Clement's Alto history. current
- 02:5602:56, 17 July 2024 diff hist +9 Windows NT When NT came out, Windows 95 didn't exist yet as a product; mention that NT also eliminated the 16-bit limitations of Windows OT 3.1, which was the current Windows release at the time.
- 02:5202:52, 17 July 2024 diff hist +110 Windows NT Windows 11 doesn't have a 32-bit kernel. It has a *64-bit* kernel; mention 64-bit support.
- 02:5102:51, 17 July 2024 diff hist +24 Windows NT "multi-architecture support" is vague (vague enough that somebody linked multi-architecture binary, which is something Windows NT didn't have until recent versions with ARM64 support). Just say "support for instruction sets other than x86".
- 02:4602:46, 17 July 2024 diff hist −5 Windows NT There are a lot of forms of business computing; just refer to it as office computing, as in "what goes on the desk of worker bees who need more than Windows 95/98/Me, but don't need a full-blown workstation". (Don't link "office", as, like "business", that's a topic that mostly covers things other than computing.)
- 02:4302:43, 17 July 2024 diff hist −3 Windows NT Rephrase to indicate that the first version is NT 3.1.

- 19:5719:57, 16 July 2024 diff hist +92 IBM 700/7000 series →{{Anchor|704|709|7090|7094}} Later scientific architecture (704/709/7090/7094): Indicate what happens with the tag field when you're *not* in multiple tag mode.
- 05:0305:03, 16 July 2024 diff hist 0 Kelvin timeline Fix redirect. current Tag: Redirect target changed

- 05:2605:26, 15 July 2024 diff hist 0 Carson Block →Early life and career: Fix capitalization. current

- 22:2422:24, 14 July 2024 diff hist +108 Bill Ackman Use {{cite tweet}} for tweets, or whatever the heck they're called now.
- 20:2220:22, 14 July 2024 diff hist +4,334 Talk:Dynamic loading →Reversion of edit 1234290353: rp current
- 06:4206:42, 14 July 2024 diff hist +2 Tnuctip The section heading is "Tnuctipun", not "Tnuctip". current Tag: Redirect target changed
- 00:5200:52, 14 July 2024 diff hist −4 List of compilers →BASIC interpreters: Neither of those two are likely to have created MiniBasic. current

- 22:4622:46, 13 July 2024 diff hist −6 8-bit computing Consistently omit space before and after == section heading markers.
- 20:4720:47, 13 July 2024 diff hist −1,409 Messages (Apple) Undid revision 1234335563 by 197.211.52.116 (talk) - rv copied-and-pasted stuff from earlier in the article. Tag: Undo
- 20:1820:18, 13 July 2024 diff hist −11 Dynamic loading Limit this to using the other software *within the program*, to cover cases of direct procedure calls and the like. Once you open it up to other mechanisms, there's more than just running a child process - there's also connecting to an existing service using either a local mechanism or over a network, but those are different from direct calls, with additional ways in which it can fail. current
- 00:0700:07, 13 July 2024 diff hist −50 OSI model Use {{cite IETF}} for an RFC reference. current
12 July 2024
- 21:0821:08, 12 July 2024 diff hist +29 Machine code →Readability by humans: And SQUOZE included a symbol table.
- 21:0721:07, 12 July 2024 diff hist +134 Machine code →Readability by humans: It's the SHARE Operating System, not the hardware that ran it, that had SQUOZE format. It was an odd format that was sort of halfway between assembly language and machine code, and there was a loader that would read it and store machine code in memory and then run that code.
- 20:5420:54, 12 July 2024 diff hist +5 OSI model With multiple authors, start with first1/last1.
- 20:4820:48, 12 July 2024 diff hist −156 OSI model Combine duplicate references.
- 20:4620:46, 12 July 2024 diff hist +30 OSI model →History: Citing an entire issue of *Network World* with no indication of which article or articles are relevant isn't ideal. Ask for page numbers.
- 20:3920:39, 12 July 2024 diff hist +78 OSI model Update link. Use {{cite journal}} for a journal article.
- 20:3420:34, 12 July 2024 diff hist 0 OSI model Update link.
- 08:3408:34, 12 July 2024 diff hist +52 DEC RADIX 50 →36-bit systems: Point to the section of SQUOZE about the character encoding scheme (the SQUOZE page is about more than just the character encoding scheme). current
- 08:3208:32, 12 July 2024 diff hist +19 SQUOZE →Etymology: Similar character encoding schemes, to be specific - not similar "compressed binary encoding of assembly language" schemes.
- 08:3008:30, 12 July 2024 diff hist +19 SQUOZE →SQUOZE deck: Invite expansion of this section (see, for example, appendix 3 of the SHARE Operating System (SOS) reference).
- 08:1808:18, 12 July 2024 diff hist +218 SQUOZE Add another reference fore SQUOZE decks. Appendix 3 appears to document the format of a SQUOZE deck.
- 08:0708:07, 12 July 2024 diff hist +4 Text editor →History: *The* SHARE Operating System. current
- 08:0008:00, 12 July 2024 diff hist +42 Six-bit character code Point to the section about the character encoding (SQUOZE isn't just about the character encoding). current
- 07:5807:58, 12 July 2024 diff hist +42 Binary-coded decimal Point to the section about the SQUOZE character encoding (SQUOZE isn't just about the character encoding).
- 07:5507:55, 12 July 2024 diff hist +42 Template:Character encodings Point to the section of SQUOZE that covers character encoding (it's not just an article about the character encoding). current
- 07:3807:38, 12 July 2024 diff hist +418 User talk:Guy Harris →Machine code reversing: Compilers generating assembler language and then running the assembler on it is common in Unixland, but isn't universal.
- 07:3507:35, 12 July 2024 diff hist +103 SQUOZE Use a "Further reading" item as a reference for SQUOZE deck format. Put the other reference for that format at the end.
- 07:1107:11, 12 July 2024 diff hist +398 SQUOZE Describe a bit of what a SQUOZE deck is, with a reference.
- 06:3406:34, 12 July 2024 diff hist −13 Machine code →Readability by humans: Three separate language processes that all produce ADATA files; might as well list them in the same sentence. (There may be others, but I didn't find a reference for the Fortran or C/C++ compilers.)
11 July 2024
- 22:0022:00, 11 July 2024 diff hist +418 Machine code →Readability by humans: The COBOL and PL/I compilers can also produce ADATA files.
