[edit] Endiannessmap

Endiannessmap (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Doesn't seem to deserve its own article separate of Endianness; Wikipedia is not a "how-to" guide. Dougie WII 17:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I have added this part in the Endianess article and it was removed. I added it to the talkes page and references it. Then it was removed because someone sayed there should be no link to the talk page. Then I allocated this article. It was previously removed because there was a copy in the talks page. So I removed the talkes page copy and allocated the article again. One cannot understand the Endianessmap.svg diagram without an explanation to it. It is not a howto. It explaines the was endianess work. You should not just delete an article by looking at the structure but also try to read and understand what is the content.Eiselekd 17:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

• Sorry if you've been getting the runaround. This should be the best place to discuss where your content should go (if anywhere) on Wikipedia -- Dougie WII 17:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Contains no information not already contained in Endianness, and whatever addition to it should go instead to Endianness as well. --Blanchardb 17:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

It contains an example of how to apply Endiannessmap.jpg. Without it it is hard to understand what the diagram is about. If I'd add the example into Endianness itself it would explode the article. Please show what you mean with "Contains no information...". The content of this article is the example. This example is not in Endianess The article explains the diagram Eiselekd 18:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete While this description is probably useful and needed to understand the image, these are not criteria for creating an article. Articles cover independent encyclopedic subjects. Perhaps the information could be trimmed into a caption for the image or added to the image description page. It's not an article though. Leebo ^T/C 18:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
