Fat pointers at Rust (programming language)
Hello,
I do appreciate the suggestion to add a note about fat pointers! I found some references and added a note -- they come up in relation to trait objects and slices.
It's just that -- per WP:SEEALSO -- see also really, really isn't the place for mentioning an incidentally used topic. It would be kind of like mentioning "hashmap" under See Also of C++ -- yes, hashmaps exist in C++, but it doesn't seem like a closely related topic by any principled metric, it should rather be mentioned in the section on standard library or data structures. See:
- Contents: Links in this section should be relevant and limited to a reasonable number. Whether a link belongs in the "See also" section is ultimately a matter of editorial judgment and common sense.
If you want to add a TODO for the writers, which is definitely appreciated, perhaps there is a more tactful way? Perhaps adding a suggestion on the talk page, or even a commented out message or maintenance tag in the article. Caleb Stanford (talk) 23:18, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Computability theory
Hi! When I tried to find a "teaser" image for Computability theory recently, I couldn't find anything better than the table about the Busy Beaver function. Now I wonder why you moved it down? Best regards - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 17:18, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Jochen, unfortunately it is very wide and messed up the article's page rendering at least on my machine. Also, I didn't found it to belong into the lede - this doesn't mean it belongs where I moved it which was basically just the earliest spot after the TOC. Feel free to move it to a better place. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 17:46, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. Of course, I don't want to mess up the lead rendering. What about a mirrored version of the table (see User:Jochen Burghardt/sandbox); it should use less horizontal space. Else, the current place of the table is ok for me. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 18:38, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- FWIW I agree that the busy beaver table fits better in the body than in the lead. (Though it is a decent introductory example of an uncomputable function, that only makes sense if you already understand computability.) I can try to think of something better and add it. Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:54, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- That would be great. I feel we better should have a real image (not a table), but I've no idea which aspect of computability theory could be used for that. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:10, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello Matthiaspaul,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
- To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi Matthiaspaul,
- Invitation
For those who may have missed it in our last newsletter, here's a quick reminder to see the letter we have drafted, and if you support it, do please go ahead and sign it. If you already signed, thanks. Also, if you haven't noticed, the backlog has been trending up lately; all reviews are greatly appreciated.

Redirects to MediaWiki
I see that you created Interwiki link and Inter-wiki link as redirects to MediaWiki#Interwiki links, and Interlanguage link and Inter-language link as redirects to MediaWiki#Interlanguage links. I'm wondering whether you wouldn't agree that Hyperlink#Wikis is a better target for at least the first two titles, if not all four (currently it is the target of Wikilink, Wikilinked, and Wikilinking), since they are not limited to MediaWiki specifically. Note, by the way, that Interwiki links and Interwiki linking were both deleted last year, following one deletion discussion in 2013 that was closed as "no consensus" and then another "successful" discussion that didn't, in my opinion, adequately discuss redirecting options. Note also the existence of Wiki#Linking and creating pages as another possible target. Oh, and Interlanguage links was deleted way back in 2006 as a cross-namespace redirect. So, anyway… what do you think? - dcljr (talk) 01:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
References to Wolfram M. Lippe's book in Z3 (computer)
Z3 (computer) has four citations of
- Lippe, Wolfram M. (2010-04-13) [2007]. Kapitel 14 - Die ersten programmierbaren Rechner [The first programmable computers] (PDF) (in German). doi:10.1007/978-3-642-36193-7_6. Archived from the original (PDF) on 2011-07-19. Retrieved 2010-06-21.
That's a chapter of a book by Lippe. It Might Be Nice if the book gave both chapter title and book title, with links, but, unfortunately, that book isn't at that URL any more, and {{cite book}} doesn't support archivec-chapter-url, archive-chapter-date, and chapter-url-status parameters to allow the chapter title to link to the archived version, with an "Archived from the original..." following it. (At one point, Citation bot said:
!CrossRef title did not match existing title: doi:10.1007/978-3-642-36193-7_6
> Possible new title: Die ersten programmierbaren Rechner
> Existing old title: Kapitel 14 – Die ersten programmierbaren Rechner
about this, although that DOI link no longer works - Springer puts up a 404 page.)
The title section of that version of the book was here, with an archived version here. The title of that version is, on the first page, "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten - von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit"; the pages after that give "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten - von Antikythera bis Zuse" as a title. I'm not sure both "from antiquity to the present day" and "from Antikythera to Zuse" are used.
A Google search for the invariant part of the title :-) - "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten" - found several books; one of them was "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten. Bd. 2: Von mechanischen Chiffriergeräten bis zu den ersten programmierbaren Rechnern". I'm guessing that "Bd. 2" is something like "Vol. 2", suggesting "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten" is a series, perhaps with "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten - von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit" being the title of the entire series, and the title of that volume suggests it covers part of the history ("from mechanical encryption devices to the first programmable calculators (computers?)"), and "von Antikythera bis Zuse" also suggests it covers part of the history, although "from Antikythera to Zuse" would cover a range that partially overlaps "from mechanical encryption devices to the first programmable calculators", so perhaps the contents of the volumes have evolved over time.
So what would the right thing be to do about references to that book/series? "Leave it as it is" would be the easiest solution, but it might be an improvement if the reference were to give the title of the book or volume as well. Guy Harris (talk) 00:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Guy. The given source is in fact a university script "Die Geschichte der Rechenautomaten" which (while adding volume subtitles) was turned into a three-volume book series in 2013. However, the books seem to have been withdrawn in 2014 when several investigators found a lot of the contents to be plagiarizing other sources, including Wikipedia, but also some rare and difficult to obtain works. Some of the pictures were also included without attributation and authorization. So, the contents is most probably correct and we can use it for citation purposes, but in the long run we should try to replace this source by the original sources.
- You are also right about the missing
|archive-chapter-url=parameter. I suggested to add something like this (and many other things) to CS1/CS2 a couple of times (and also implemented some), but the group there appears to be more interested in discussing everything to death instead of moving forward and add features to the templates. I suggest that you propose this parameter there as well in order for it to get more momentum to be eventually implemented. - --Matthiaspaul (talk) 08:22, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

A chronic disruptor
Hey there. I see you posted here about a notorious problem editor Bumm13 who absolutely will not stop on the same issue of pointless messing with wikilinks and with meaninglessly self-congratulatory edit messages. When it comes to linking to DOS, he's as robotically obsessed as he is obviously wrong, and has been told countless times like by @Dgpop: here. And he still only responds by playing dumb and bratty. He's bullying you and I with WP:ICANTHEARYOU like here. He's beyond question, he ignores or derails legitimate conversation, anything is okay when he does it, all the burden is on the rest of the world, and everybody can just get lost. So I know better than to attempt any further direct and redundant engagement. There are other computer-history-minded admins who are literate about the factual wrongness in that particular case but it's perfectly obvious even in the lead section of DOS. My point here is that you mentioned pursuing desysopping or whatever sanctions in 2019 and I wondered if you're intending to follow through or if you knew that he just won't stop since then, so WP:TENDENTIOUS. Just checking. You're much more into that, you're very very good at handling all this in terms of rhetoric and policy, and have more of a history, so I await supporting it. When you do, you could ping the other people in your old thread I just linked above. In this and in general, I also thank you for your balance of profound positivity without coddling. — Smuckola(talk) 03:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Bumm13 does draw attention to a couple of places article organization could be improved:
- That the DOS article is about MS-DOS, and different from Disk operating system, is just plain wrong. Every 1970s/1980s computer community uses DOS to refer to the disk operating system for its particular platform. That both the current DOS and MS-DOS articles separately exist is confusing.
- "Apple II" has long been synonymous with "the Apple II line of computers", but the Apple II article is about a specific model, not the line. For the latter, there's Apple II series. But with the former being shorter and more obvious, there are far more links to "Apple II" than "Apple II series". It would make more sense to rename "Apple II series" to "Apple II" so it's the main article, then rename the current "Apple II" to "Apple II (1977 computer)". (For comparison, Atari 8-bit family is necessary because there's no standard naming convention for the models.)
Hierarchical File System
I don't know what is going on with these articles. It seems to have gotten into a mess. Peter Flass (talk) 15:43, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Peter, unfortunately, that appears to be the case now, see Talk:Hierarchical_file_system_(Apple)#Proposed_deletion, [1], User talk:Locke Cole#Hierarchical File System. Since Locke does not seem to be willing to undo the mess he initiated, it seems we'll have to initiate a full move discussion now, but I have little time at present.

Speedy deletion nomination of European Political Community (disambiguation)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on European Political Community (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 22:45, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'm seeing this only after the disambiguation page has been deleted already, but I would have agreed with its deletion. However, I should have been informed of the related move proposal, with which I would have agreed as well given that the name is now well established (it wasn't a year ago). --Matthiaspaul (talk) 06:14, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Dr-dos another life questions
Hi,
I'm Nicolas from France. Sorry to bother you with another life questions. I'm building multi kernel dos bootdisks in order to test various memory managers behaviour and impact of the kernel on available memory. I cannot find other way to reach you but here. While digging the web for dr-dos, 2 questions came to my mind : 1. Regarding the dr-dos kernel file, some people talk about a 7.08 version but I cannot find anything after a 7.07, does it exist or was the 7.07 the latest version ? 2. Is there a way to have access to the 7.07 version or better of the kernel files ? The better I found was the 7.04 version of the ibmdos and ibmbios files in Dr-dos 7.05.
Thanks
Have a nice day

- Hallo Matthias Paul! As you once hoped that the "owner of the DR-DOS assets may decide that its commercial life is finally over and that it is due to open source the system." - now it happened! License is open!
- You can see the current EDR-DOS developments at the repository and forum.
- It would be highly appreciated if you can help in any way to "reunificate the different code branches to create the most advanced DR-DOS ever for all its fans."!
- The most crucial elements I think are to share sources and/or binaries of DR-DOS 7.07. Also of WinGlue/WinBolt, DR-DOS 7.03 (including its software package) and lastly the optionally loadable multi-user security extension - (World/Group/Owner) access permission system (part of DR DOS "Panther" BETA 1).
- You can upload any of those or other DR-DOS documentation and materials you decide here, for example.
- In any case - thank you for everything that you created as part of DR-DOS! Ianteraf (talk) 09:10, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Interest in new projects
Hi Matthias,
I read a lot about your work on DR-DOS, WinGlue, WinBolt, etc. and it's great to see you're still involved! I was wondering if you had any interest in new DOS related projects.
There are some projects going on where I think your input would be very interesting. Do you think it would be feasible for anybody to adapt another DOS so that Windows 9x could run in it? There are now other DPMI hosts that can run the original Windows 3.1. Do you think Windows 9x could be supported by a third party DPMI host as well? Here are specific issues where I imagine you'd be knowledgeable: https://github.com/dosemu2/dosemu2/issues/988 https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1217
I hope you don't mind I write here. I wasn't sure if the other contact information I found online is still actual.
Thanks in advance and best regards! Julius Schwartzenberg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:985:2C6E:1:5D7B:5178:CAC7:7F09 (talk) 19:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hallo Matthias,
- From what I read it seems DR-DOS 7.06 has a combined kernel file (like Win9x), while DR-DOS 7.07 has the traditional two files. A few questions related to that:
- Is combined BIOS+BDOS file mandatory for running Win9x? Or separate files IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM, MSDOS.SYS (settings text file), IO.SYS (if such kind of placeholder/redirect is needed) can exist at the same time?
- Can DR-DOS 7.07 boot from Win9x/Me boot sectors?
- Does DR-DOS 7.07 include all functionality from DR-DOS 7.06?
- Can Win9x run from DR-DOS 7.06?
- Can Win9x run from DR-DOS 7.07?

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello Matthiaspaul,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello Matthiaspaul,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Mass reverts
Hi there, could I ask you not to do stuff like this? Of course if you have objections to the substance of the edits you can and should discuss those with the editor, but simply reverting because the editor is new and you don't have time to review the changes in depth seems quite bitey, and the changes appear generally positive. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:47, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- It also looks like you may be restoring copyvio - this edit added material that is identical to here. (The editor flagged plagiarism in their edisum). Nikkimaria (talk) 20:58, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- I will certainly not stop preserving an established status quo of an article when I see a new editor (with a few dozen edits) making mass changes deleting 70 KB (!) of contents in one edit etc., making it next to impossible to check the changes in detail. No editor is that good, and in particular not a new one (I checked some edits and had to clean up after them, which is fine, but the changes were small enough to be trackable and it was in an article I was familiar with already, so it took me only half an hour). Since nobody can assume that a previously undiscussed major change by a new editor like the deletion of tens of KB can be checked in reasonable time, our normal procedure seeing this happening is to play it safe and revert, assuming good faith, and tell the editor about why s/he was reverted on her/his talk page (like I did), and than later, when time allows, try to go through the changes in detail and reincorporate what was good. If the new editor is a good one, s/he will propose the changes on the article talk page first, seeking consensus, and than carry them out it step by step so they can be reasonably checked. That is our normal procedure of collaborative editing.
- --Matthiaspaul (talk) 18:23, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'd anticipate that any good editor would react with frustration on seeing that an edit that they spent time on was reverted, not because there was anything wrong with it, but because there might be. That doesn't seem like a collaborative approach. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:50, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

The article .XIP has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP: GNG. I can't find any sources that aren't published by Apple (who developed this file format) that are reliable enough to establish notability.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 10:44, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Gray-Code: Paul reference url 404
Hello, I believe you were the one who originally added the reference to the 4-bit unit-distance BCD codes: Paul (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code#cite_ref-Paul_1995_133-0).
Unfortunately, the URL you provided, "http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs180/download/mpbcd102.zip," is leading to 404 Not Found.
Would you happen to know where I might find more information about it? Alorscoings (talk) 13:59, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Relocation (computing) anchors
I've started reviewing this article and have removed anchors that I beleive you added at some point. The anchors are used by a number of redirects. Removing the anchors isn't going to hurt anything because if not found, the redirect still takes readers to the top of the article where the anchors were. I'm wondering whether to clean up the redirects also. ~Kvng (talk) 19:17, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
