I started to try to fix this and then has questions. Was this ever notable, beyond researchers? How did this work as a client? Does it still exist? Is it worth fixing? Bearian (talk) 14:19, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Requesting review of Draft:Reflection (C++)
[edit]Hi everyone, I would like a review on Draft:Reflection (C++); this page has been awaiting review for more than a month, and I think it is reasonably polished enough for review, but has gone stale. Could someone please review it and either approve or give comments? Thanks! ~2026-35337-02 (talk) 21:06, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
Add "set" to Unicode description, for more distinction of/more distinguished than UTF(-8 for example)?
[edit]Currently, 1st sentence of Unicode page simply reads "... is a character encoding standard maintained by ..." which is nearly the same as UTF-8 page, "... is a character encoding standard used for ...". It would make sense to add "set" near the end of the Unicode one, "... is a character encoding set standard maintained by ...", as it also is named "Universal Coded Character Set (UCS)" in the Unicode infobox, wouldn't it?

Urgent: Requesting review of SimulationX
[edit]Can you please review the page for SimulationX? I have been asking for update / review since last 6 months. I have also provided all the citations, links and disclosures needed for an update. Can someone please look into this and review it? or let me know who can I ask for a review for a timely update.
Context: SimulationX this product now belong to Keysight and no longer to ESI Group. It is crucial to update this information along with other updates mentioned on the talk page. this impacts directly the customer / user base.
Kindly pls look into this MajidNas (talk) 09:46, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Unmanageable duplication across Intel processor lists
[edit]The duplication of Intel processor data across Wikipedia has become excessive and is already producing demonstrably stale and incomplete information.
There is a general list of Intel processors, separate lists for Atom, Xeon, Itanium, Celeron, Pentium and Core, further lists for individual Pentium generations, separate desktop, mobile and embedded Core lists, and still more lists for Core 2, Core M, Core i3, i5, i7 and i9. On top of all that, the same processors are listed again in the articles dedicated to their respective microarchitectures and product families.
This is not merely untidy organization. It is an unmanageable maintenance model.
I created and remain the primary editor of the Panther Lake (microprocessor) article, and I am already finding Panther Lake tables elsewhere on Wikipedia that contain stale information or omit certain SKUs. The editors who follow and maintain the dedicated Panther Lake article are unlikely to notice every duplicated Panther Lake table scattered across several broad processor lists. The same problem will inevitably affect other families, particularly newer ones whose specifications and line-ups change while products are being announced and released.
At present, the same facts are being maintained independently in multiple places, often with different formatting, different columns, different sourcing standards and different levels of detail. There is no clear authoritative version, no reliable propagation of corrections, and no realistic reason to expect every copy to remain synchronized.
Who is supposed to maintain all of these parallel tables? In practice, apparently nobody. They accumulate because each list looks superficially useful in isolation, while the collective maintenance burden is ignored.
Each processor line-up should have a single authoritative table, maintained in the most relevant family or microarchitecture article, and that data should be reused—or summarized without reproducing the entire dataset—where broader navigation or comparison is genuinely useful. Templates may be one solution; another transclusion or data-centralization mechanism may be preferable. The implementation can be discussed, but preserving numerous independently edited copies of the same data should not be treated as an acceptable status quo.
As a first step, this article should stop expanding detailed legacy and current-family tables that are already maintained elsewhere. Skylake and similar sections are obvious candidates for removal or replacement with concise summaries and links to the relevant articles.
The current structure does not merely waste editorial effort. It actively causes Wikipedia to present contradictory, incomplete and outdated processor information.
Examples:
- List_of_Intel_processors
- List of Intel Atom processors
- List of Intel Xeon processors
- List of Intel Itanium processors
- List of Intel Celeron processors
- List of Intel Pentium processors
- List of Intel Core processors
- List of Intel Core 2 processors
- List of Intel Core M processors
- List of Intel Core i3 processors
- List of Intel Core i5 processors
- List of Intel Core i7 processors
- List of Intel Core i9 processors

Need SME for Grasp and POWER on DOS/360 and successors
[edit]I'm in the process of converting SYSIN and SYSOUT to DAB pages. I feel comfortable with the material relating to OS/360 and successors, but not DOS/360 and successors. I'm seeking an SME that can add SYSIN and SYSOUT material to GRASP and POWER. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 20:39, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
Help with MyFitnessPal requests
[edit]Hi, I'm trying to update the MyFitnessPal article, which is considerably out of date. I've posted requests about doing so on the Talk page. I was able to work collaboratively with editors on previous requests, but I thought it would be beneficial to hear from subject-matter experts. (The Talk page states that "[t]his article is supported by WikiProject Computing.") I'm curious whether you think there are technical or functional components that should be added to the article or otherwise expanded. The article previously discussed computer vision, but those claims were recently removed. Any feedback would be appreciated. Rebecca at MyFitnessPal (talk) 12:06, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
