[edit] Re: Autocoder

Sorry for not giving you a heads up on the deletion requestion for the Autocoder article. Look I have an article written by Alick Glennie in 1953 where he talks about Autocode and I don't see him mention Autocoder anywhere. I also have an article by Campbell-Kelly about early programming for the Manchester Mark 1 where he uses the term "autocode" everywhere, but never uses the term "autocoder". Also, I've tried a couple google searches on autocoder and can't find any mention that it is a generic term for assembly language, other than FOLDOC and web pages that are clearly just scaping FOLDOC. There are a couple of other entries in FOLDOC that I find suspicious so I'm not completely trusting it.A B Carter (talk) 12:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've copied your comment to Talk:Autocoder and responded there. -R. S. Shaw 18:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good work

Just read the complete rewrite you did for Autocoder and it's excellent. Fairly short but well foot noted and extensive references. A B Carter (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scholarpedia

Just read your article and wanted to warn you to watch it carefully. I got very angry when my article on scholarpedia was deleted on grounds of notability and I had no possibility to comment in time. Izhkevich has some problems making it tip in fact if you check scholarpedia longpages. Just for the record, I think it is noteworthy as a project and I think Izhkevich could make it if he had some support. Ben ^T/_C 14:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism on mitosis

Hi, I have just cleaned up multiple vandal edits on the mitosis page and noticed you recently reverted an edit with the note "Reverted 1 edit by 63.215.27.201 identified as vandalism to last revision by 75.4.45.137". Please note that 75.4.45.137 is actually vandalizing the page and 63.215.27.201 was reverting part of the vandalism. Therefore, your reversion resulted in accidentally restoring part of 75.4.45.137's vandalism. Please check multiple preceeding edits before reverting edits on that page. There are often multiple anonymous edits in quick succession and not always is the latest version before an edit a good one. This article seems to attract a lot of kids frustrated with having to learn the stuff for biology class. - tameeria 13:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
