[edit] What is a number system
Delete essay. --Trovatore 06:16, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- Also copyright violation. http://www.hal-pc.org/~clyndes/computer-arithmetic/computers.html. Speedy delete. (And a tag has been added for that.) --Nlu 06:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- I took off the speedy tag based on my understanding of the criteria, because it doesn't look to me like hal-pc.org is set up to make money off the content being duplicated. Of course if I'm wrong, go ahead and speedy it. --Trovatore 06:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- hal-pc.org appears to be a profit-seeking venture (ISP), so I'm going to add the speedy back on; any additional reason why it shouldn't be back on? --Nlu 06:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, part of the A8 criterion is "Material is unquestionably copied from the website of a commercial content provider (e.g. encyclopedia, news service)". An ISP is commercial, but not necessarily an commercial content provider. If all it sells is bandwidth, then I don't think it qualifies. --Trovatore 06:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Whether it's a copyvio or not is a moot point. Number systems are already covered elsewhere, so we don't need this essay. - Mgm|(talk) 13:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
