Digital HiNote

Hey @DigitalIceAge! Thanks a lot for improving the article about the Digital HiNote, it looks way better now. PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:31, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

@PhotographyEdits You're welcome, thanks for making it! I think the factoid about the MacBook Air advertisement would make a good entry in the front page "Did you know..." section, if you don't mind proposing it. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey @DigitalIceAge, I just did that Template:Did you know nominations/Digital HiNote here! PhotographyEdits (talk) 21:10, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Looks good @PhotographyEdits! I proposed an alternate hook with an image. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

@PhotographyEdits Also gave IBM Palm Top PC 110 a spruce-up. (Not stalking you I promise, I just happned to come across that article at the same time ;) DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

@DigitalIceAge That's really great, well done! And that's not a problem at all, feel free to look through my created articles and other contributions and improve stuff. For example, some time ago I was trying to get the Canon Notejet to GA status, but was unable to find sources for the missing stuff that was said here: Talk:Canon_NoteJet. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Sounds good! NoteJets are so awesome, I hope I come across one that's reasonably priced at a flea market soon... I'll see what I can do with the article. DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

@DigitalIceAge That would be great! I don't own one, sadly. PhotographyEdits (talk) 14:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

With vs with

Good you caught that. I literally didn't notice even after you did it. It has always been lower-case w, but I never noticed. The only lingering issue, if any, is the capitalization and wording of of the DYK template. Coretheapple (talk) 22:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

• No problem, I fixed the DYK nom too. It can be tricky when the works cited all have their own style guides, I've learned. Some keep short prepositions lowercase, some keep all prepositions lowercase, some capitalize the first letter of every word regardless. And then you have phrasal verbs, infinitive vs. preposition to, preposition vs. adverb like... it never ends. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Requesting a draft improvement help

Greetings @ DigitalIceAge

I am User:Bookku usually I work on information and knowledge gap areas and promote my and other's drafts and articles for improvement and expansion as needed.

If you remember recently I had visited an article contributed by you MicroOffice RoadRunner as a reader.

Coincidentally today I came across an article Draft:D-Agree seems to be written by a phd scholar User:Jawad Haqbeen. (I did not know user, topic and draft previously and hence no coi)

Please see if you can do encyclopedic notability review and help in further draft improvement if you find interested in.

thanks and warm regards

Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 04:18, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Bookku,

Greetings from Japan.

This is Jawad Haqbeen, an assistant professor at Kyoto University.

Thanks a lot for improving and suggesting to improve the article Draft:D-Agree.

Could you please help us to fix the issues, and resubmit the draft.

Sincerely,

Jawad, Jawad Haqbeen (talk) 07:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Bookku and Jawad Haqbeen: It seems there's already an article on D-Agree? I just moved it from D-Agree Afghanistan since the subject of that article (judging from the lead) is about the service itself and not just its deployment in Afghanistan. Anyway the subject is outside my expertise unfortunately, and I don't know a lick of Japanese so I couldn't be of much help verifying text-source integrity and whatnot. I would recommend finding some generalist sources for both the draft and the mainspace article at D-Agree (newspapers, magazines, mainstream blogs). Best of luck! DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:21, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @DigitalIceAge,

Question about a template you used

Greetings DigitalIceAge and again thank you for reviewing Tenta, Cyprus.

I noticed that you used Template:Visible anchor in your edit there – could you explain to me what that does? And also, I was confused because upon reading the description, it said "This template should not be used within section headings." Isn't this how you used it? So yeah, I haven't seen that before and hope you could give me some pointers (I'm still learning about a lot of technical aspects). -- LordPeterII (talk) 11:15, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

It's a habit of mine to add anchors to parent headings when I remove a subheading, for the sake of wikilinks and redirects which might #link to it. I thought I was being elegant with the visible anchor ("name" would be highlighted in blue when #Name is in the URL), but since it's counter to the template's documentation I replaced it with a standard {{anchor}}. Hope this clears things up. DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:30, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

That one DYK nom

Hey DigitalIceAge,

just wanted to say I'm sorry that your article has gotten such weird reviews. I thought about reviewing myself after all; but unfortunately I feel that at this point, it would look as though I was making a point in "overruling" other editors. I still hope you can get a fair review (which, like, points out at least some examples of what's wrong), since you've obviously have had some before for the other company noms. But if not, you could always go to WP:GA and get this article reviewed. Once it passes as a good article, no one can really still claim it was in need of WP:TNT. But ofc that would mean a lot of extra work, and idk if you are interested in that. So yeah good luck, and I'm sorry I can't help you more :/ –LordPickleII (talk) 07:42, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, LordPeterII, I appreciate the kind words. I understand the apprehension around articles on corporations given the epidemic of poorly written ones from conflicts of interest, but I think the revulsion to that article is a bit kneejerk. If it still fails I will consider GA. DigitalIceAge (talk)

An Apology

Hey DigitalIceAge, I'm sorry about my revert on the Ninja Master's article, I was a dumbass and not reading clearly. ♠JCW555 (talk)♠ 05:49, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

No worries JCW555. I should have used {{Distinguish}} in the first place, as the {{For}} template as I was using it gave the impression that the '86 game was related to Ninja Masters. DigitalIceAge (talk) 06:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Oak Industries

Noted your edit to ON TV (TV network)...is this a company you plan on writing up? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Possibly! There's a decent paper trail for Oak Industries on the first page of a Google search... Chicago Tribune, WSJ, LA Times. My knowledge of ON TV isn't as sharp as yours, limited to a skim of the article and an episode of Oddity Archive, though funnily enough I actually do own an ONTV box myself! DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:51, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Wow! What market is it from? Oak ended its life being sold to Corning Industries. It has quite a wild history, all things considered, and I would not mind collaborating on it; ON TV itself is one article away from a Good Topic. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:04, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Yep, and for nearly $2 billion. Weird how they've never had so much as a redirect (well they did have an article, briefly, before being speedied for suspected WP:PROMO). The company was originally in the radio business, I believe. It has a very storied history, kind of intimidating TBH but there's some good sources out there in Gale and ProQuest. One of them points to a Harvard case study, which is annoyingly paywalled. I might just create a barebones outline of sorts for you to expand since it's a bit outside my wheelhouse. DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

That would be good. I can put meat on the bones of the late 70s/80s stuff pretty quickly. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:58, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: The beginnings of the Oak Industries article is now finished! Holy hell that was more work than I expected. The company, it turns out, was massive and more diversified than even television (I'm now learning they had a electrolytic capacitor division?! nope, just copper foil. Still interesting), and by ProQuest's count there are over 1,700 articles that at least mention the company (God knows how many hits are on Newspaper.com). How it escaped this long without an article is beyond me, but I guess that's recentism for you. Have a merry expansion! DigitalIceAge (talk) 04:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks so much, @DigitalIceAge! This would make a good DYK and—ideally—GA to bring up together. My head is a bit glazed over (came to this from working on another big article), but I'm really excited. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:51, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: I agree it would be a great DYK—and I feel you with the headspace thing! I'm just now noticing some syntax errors on my part. I may have to distance myself from the article for a day to come at it from a refreshed perspective. This topic is definitely a deep dive. On the plus side the Encyclopedia.com link in the External links section is a paraphrase of this FundingUniverse article, which is a reprint of a legit book, so there's another good resource for filling a lot of the gaps in coverage. DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm ready to nominate this for DYK, I think. Might want to do another look-through at copy; I have added a fair bit. This company was a ride. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:16, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

I'll say! I'm going to expand it a bit with the encyclopedia source and then copyedit afterward. DigitalIceAge (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Imagine trying to explain what this company did to people... Stove components, crystals, railway maintenance, energy management, ON TV, tuning dials, Bakelite, lasers... By the way, feel free to co-nominate this for GA at your convenience. I have a fair number of pending GANs (and a massive backlog of pages to nominate), so I'd prefer if you started the nomination. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:00, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Tuning dials with frickin' laser beams! And I will consider nominating it for GA. :) DigitalIceAge (talk) 04:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I found a bit more material. Oak Communications became TV/COM International, which Hyundai purchased in 1995. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, OakGrigsby continued as a Corning subsidiary, so clearly Oak did not sell it off. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:09, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Just 86'ed that sentence in the article. I figured the divisions not listed in the acquisition announcement sources had been liquidated but apparently not. DigitalIceAge (talk) 16:39, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Zenith Eazy PC reference

Hello DigitalIceAge, I was reading the article on the Zenith Eazy PC that you created - nice work! I was wondering about one citation that I could not find the supporting reference for. It is one by authors Hammerman and Sullivan, from 1987, on page 49. Do you know what work that may refer to? Thanks. Kumboloi (talk) 22:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Kumboloi: excellent work on the Eazy PC article! I appreciate the copy editing. As for the citation, I have no clue. I looked high and low in Archive.org, Google Books, ProQuest and Gale for any article written by a Hammerman and a Sullivan, and I could not find one. I have found a Computerworld article to substantiate the sentence in question in the article (I think the footnote in question was in reference of a Computerworld article, as the magazine had an editor by the name Michael Sullivan, but I can't be sure). BTW, do you happened to own or did you ever own an Eazy PC? I would love to have a Creative COmmons photograph of it, but Flickr and Commons don't have any. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:43, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback DigitalIceAge, I'm still learning as an editor, and your article taught me a few things. As for the Eazy PC, funnily enough I tried to buy one several years ago at auction, but wasn't the successful bidder. As for the picture, you could put a picture request on the article's talk page while you look for one to include. Thanks again. Kumboloi (talk) 22:50, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

The page All-in-one PC has been reviewed!

I was surprised by a message telling me this, since all I did was make a redirect, a long time ago. I think you're the proper recipient of this glorious news really.

Good job including a picture of the PET, by the way, possibly the cutest computer ever (closely contested by the 512k Mac). Terrible to use, not nearly as good as the Vic-20, but much cuter.  Card Zero  (talk) 15:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words, Card Zero! I thought a standalone article was well overdue. I think the AIO form factor has a long and storied history with machines like the PET, the Datamaster, the Lisa, and the Mac, and I hope the article will be expanded one day accordingly.

PETs are indeed cute. I actually rescued an 8032 and floppy drive unit from an e-waste drive in some parking lot a while ago. Had to bribe the workers a bit, but worth every penny. DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:52, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

IBM Microelectronics

Hey @DigitalIceAge. Bit more than a year ago I created the IBM Microelectronics article, but it was marked for deletion yesterday. You seem quite skilled in retrieving various sources about computer history and already contributed to the article, so I wanted to ask if you could take a look to not have it merged or deleted.

Sol (computer)

What you did now with Sol (computer), is effectively hijacking an article. Especially because I see no prior discussion for the series of moves. However, the original article was spam. Written by the director of the company that made the computer. Strange enough, it survived an AfD. The Banner talk 01:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

@The Banner: What you call "hijacking" is just common sense to me: type "Sol computer" on Google and you'll find pages upon pages upon pages of just the Sol-20. The Sol-20 also had submodels with the Sol moniker, making it logical as disambiguation. The SOL laptop on the other hand was a dud that never made history like the Sol-20 (bless their hearts for trying). Sol (laptop) is also an oprhan, so it's not like I caused a bunch (or any) wikilinks to be misdirected. Put another way: there's a primary topic, and it ain't the laptop. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:46, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

As a compromise, I've put a hatnote on top of Sol-20 directing readers to Sol (laptop). DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi DigitalIceAge, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:50, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

DIP chips!

	DIP some chips!
	The amount of work you put for computing related articles is insane! You are an inspiration for me. If it can ease the voluntary hard work you are putting, I would like to collaborate on discovery and vectorization of tech brand logos. Thank you, really. Keep up the good work! VectorVoyager (talk) 21:22, 5 April 2023 (UTC) (changed username at 14:17, 20 August 2023)

Thank you for the kind words! Vintage computing is a long-time hobby of mine, and there are so many interesting companies and products from the past that don't have articles here despite the reams of paper that have been devoted to them.

Logo vectorization is tricky but fun; there are so many gorgeous logos I find when I'm reading a scan of Byte magazine or InfoWorld, and if the associated company is any interesting I will go down the rabbit hole of researching them. If the company is of the Illustrator age and I suspect there's an official vector out there somewhere, I will trudge through dozens of PDFs and PostScript files to find it. I saw your Billings Computer and Teleram vectorizations, by the way, and they are excellent. If I find a logo that looks tricky for me to vectorize I'll certainly give you a holler.

DB13W3

Hey! Two years ago I added some source to the DB13W3 article, but it was the only reasonable good source I could find about the connector. Today someone marked the article with multiple issues, one of which is that there is only a single source. So far I haven't been able to find another good one and in it's current state the article might get deleted or merged in the future. Could you help me finding at least one other source? I think it's quite a widely used connector back in the day which definetely deserves its own article. PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:50, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look. DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:30, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

@PhotographyEdits: As always, Gale OneFile and ProQuest come to the rescue with sources galore. (If you have access to the Wikipedia Library, I cannot recommend them highly enough—they are a godsend for trudging up sources on pre-Google era technology/electronics stuff). The only bugbear is the Specifications section: it seems to go into the weeds of each company's implementation of the connector beyond what the sources I could find do.

Draft

Hi I'm wondering if you have any suggestions to improve this [1] which I've been working on for over 2 weeks now, thanks. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 09:14, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Sure, I'll give it a look. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Rugoconites Tenuirugosus: sorry for the long wait, I've been super busy IRL. I have given Draft:Brian P. Dougherty a hearty copy edit and trim for details about GEOS and Breadbox that are not directly relevant to Dougherty as a person and as a businessman. Those details are better suited for the articles on GEOS (namely "GEOS (16-bit operating system)"). Aside from that I have replaced almost all of the sources with higher-quality, independent sources to better establish Dougherty's notability and role in the development of the graphical operating system. Here's to hoping your draft gets approved. :) DigitalIceAge (talk) 06:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Just so you know I don't think the Terry Bradshaw shown in the article in the actual Terry that was featured in the globalPC advert, although that is the right Bella Shaw. I do not know the exact date of birth that Brian was born on as I couldn't find it in the sources in the article so should I just leave it as 1956? Thanks a lot. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Correct, if you don't have an exact date of birth, leave it as just 1956. DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:25, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Also I added a lot of information about GEOS and Geoworks into the article because it was something that Brian had created and I wanted to go in-depth about it Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 19:26, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

There's no problem with that kind of in-depth content—I just think it's a little out of place for his biography. There were many people working for Berkeley Softworks/GeoWorks throughout its existence, and while he was influential in the development of their software, he wasn't the sole developer. I think that kind of in-depth information is better served at Berkeley Softworks, GEOS (8-bit operating system) or GEOS (16-bit operating system). Just my 2¢. DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:31, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

In my opinion, whatever is made by person belongs in a biography; whether it's modified or not because it takes its roots down to that person in particular. I do agree with you that indepth information should belong on the Berkeley softworks, GEOS and PC/GEOS articles although a mention of that information should be made in the draft.

Defunct company categories

I've seen you've recently added the category Category:Defunct computer companies of Japan to the articles Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric (on my watchlist). I disagree that these categories should be added because Mitsubishi Electric and Toshiba themselves aren't defunct. Is there a discussion which I'm missing? I've reverted your changes, but if I've made a mistake or you disagree, please let me know. —Panamitsu (talk) 08:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

You're correct: they are still active in the computer industry even though they no longer produce full-fledged systems anymore. TBH I've always secretly hated the way those categories are worded—companies make pivots and divestitures all the time while remaining intact, but Defunct gives the impression that they're dissolved when that isn't necessarily true. There's got to be a better word that encompasses both but I'm stumped. DigitalIceAge (talk) 16:44, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

I think perhaps "Former producers of computer systems", but I worry that a category like that would be too narrow. —Panamitsu (talk) 22:36, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

I am sorry if U view such requests as irrelevant or inappropriate in any way. But also at the same time, I continue to appreciate your activity on WP.102.156.117.213 (talk) 17:30, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Not to worry, I don't mind them.

I modified your request slightly, creating only uppercase redirects, to promote the proper capitalization of these people movers when adding these redirects to articles. So:

• APM 100
• APM 200
• APM 256
• APM 300
• C801A
• C801B
• C810
• C810A
• C810D
• C810C
• C810B

The search bar is case insensitive, so typing in, say, c801b (in lowercase) will still redirect to Bombardier Innovia APM 300R C801B. DigitalIceAge (talk) 20:02, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Mister digitalIceAge, can U redirect these two as well? I hope U know where to redirect the each. Thanks again.197.3.152.217 (talk) 18:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Done. DigitalIceAge (talk) 16:27, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Long time no see. Can you replace a section on Microsoft Office with the below lines?
(Redacted)
I changed the formatting and previewed it on WP:SANDBOX so that you don't have to.197.26.152.20 (talk) 21:26, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure that edit would go down very well, considering it replaces detailed prose with a table. There's also already a version history table at History of Microsoft Office. I would recommend going to Talk:Microsoft Office and making an edit request via {{Edit semi-protected}} for such a large revision. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:46, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I made two edit-requests on that page in October 2023, but they were only answered after I drew a random user's attention. Thus, I do not think that anyone would bother addressing this WP:ER as long as drawing another user's attention would be the only way to have my edit-request assessed. The reason Y I am making this request is to reorder the table of releases from earliest to latest, just like how other software pages display version histories, latest to earliest. The other reason is to align the three tables to the center of the screen, instead of being aligned left.197.26.152.20 (talk) 23:01, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I see what you mean now... I thought you meant the Version history section with the table, my bad. Mostly done, except for centering the tables to the page, since I think that breaks rendering on certain browsers. DigitalIceAge (talk) 23:58, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Can you reverse the order of references?

Replace:

| rowspan="2" {{version|co|October 14, 2025}}<ref name="support-2019-windows" /><ref name="support-2016-windows" />

with:

| rowspan=2 {{version|co|October 14, 2025}}<ref name="support-2016-windows"/><ref name="support-2019-windows"/>

Hi. I have an issue with Draft:Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld. It is supposed to be a WP:REDIRECT and not a page, and so far it is still considered as a draft to date. Can you please remove the word "draft:" from the title? Thanks again in advance.41.230.134.91 (talk) 02:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Uh, hello? Are you still there?41.62.108.64 (talk) 23:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, got into a busy spell and lost your message. Here: Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld. DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:50, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, however I thought I was expecting you to redirect that draft page "without leaving a redirect" which, I believe, can only be achieved, in this case, by deleting the redirect you created "to make way for move". Could you do those insted?197.3.175.233 (talk) 17:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I do not have that privilege as a non-page mover/admin. I've never seen a Draft page moved to the mainspace not keep a redirect from the Draftspace, so I don't think that would be the way to go, anyway. DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Can you redirect LATAR to Kuala Lumpur–Kuala Selangor Expressway? Please don't forget to distinguish it from latar, just like what MB did to akleh. Kindest regards.41.62.55.98 (talk) 18:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Inadvertent edit in your user space

My apologies: while repairing incoming links for a moved article, I inadvertently edited an article in your user space. On the positive side, I was correcting the link. I wasn't paying enough attention to where the articles were that I was changing. Musiconeologist (talk) 04:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Lost music deletion

Hello! Little confused on why you completely removed the entire part of Lost music in the Lost media article? Lost music IS lost media, so why delete the entire section? Retrodox (talk) 01:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I understand that you didn't agree with the "Lostwave" definition, but deleting the entire section sure isn't the problem, you could've changed the wording a bit, no? Retrodox (talk) 01:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

The definition of "Lost media" as given in the article is media that can no longer be accessed (due to the destruction of all known copies, the whereabouts of surviving copies becoming lost, being stuck in legal limbo like The Day the Clown Cried, etc.). Songs that are "Lostwave" cannot be lost media by this definition, as they are examples of songs that have been found—you can listen to them—but for which the titles and names of the artist(s) have been lost. An equivalent example would be like if a silent film was found and digitized, but the opening titles and closing credits were chopped off beforehand, and the actors were unidentifiable. The film exists, but the provenance is lost. This is why I don't believe it fits in the Lost media article. A music section in the article should be devoted only to completely lost published sound recordings, in my opinion. DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

That makes much more sense, thank you for explaining it! Thank you for editing the lost music section as well, instead of deleting it outright. Retrodox (talk) 02:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Help on Draft:Commander X16

Hi! Long time no see! How are you? I would like to ask if you would like to help on Draft:Commander X16 assuming you followed David's dream computer series as it was/is quite popular in retrocomputing community. I know its not fully notable yet but still, it can become one when the production becomes more mature and more media coverage is done. Thanks! VectorVoyager (talk) 15:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look at it. DigitalIceAge (talk) 16:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

About extracting vectors from PDFs

What software you used to extract SVGs from PDFs? Todonite (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
