Linker was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: May 30, 2008 |
Much overlap here with the Library Linking (Computer Science) which discusses dynamic linking. A linker doesn't actually handle dynamic linking. Should this article point to the other as a "See Also"? Its a more appropriate place to discuss non-static linking. -- Robert Lee
The 'address space' link points to an article explaining IP address space rather than the address space of a process . I am unsure on how to correct this link and where it should point to, just wanted to make sure it was brought to the attention of someone who can fix it. --Chris
Linkers can also assemble libraries, so this article should address that process too. - Jrn 16:47, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] deleted criticism section
No substantiated evidence, should probably be in a discussion on the dynamic linking page, not in "what a linker is". —The preceding comment was added on 22:07, 23 March 2006.
[edit] possible plagiarism? (fixed)
The sentence "this information comes mainly in the form of symbol definitions, which arise in two varieties: defined or exported symbols are functions or variables that are present in the module represented by the object, and which should be available for use by other modules. Undefined or imported symbols are functions or variables that are called or referenced by this object, but not internally defined" is present, verbatim, in a European patent application filed by a major U.S. company. But the date of the application is after the date that the sentence appeared in this article? So it seems that either the company plagiarized Wikipedia, or Wikipedia lifted the verbiage from a hardcopy source (probably one of the ones listed). In any case, in preparation for WP:GAN, I am deleting and re-writing the content in question. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 05:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] GA Review
This review is transcluded from Talk:Linker/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
GA quickfail. I'm sorry to inform the editors of this article, that I am quickfailing the article. Here are some issues to resolve before renomination:
- Per WP:LEAD, the lead for this article should only be one full paragraph (max two).
- There is not a single in-line citation in the article. The article must be fully references for variability.
- The web citations in the reference section should be formatted with Template:cite web.
Thanks and good luck with improving the article. Nikki311 22:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for the feedback. There are actually two inline references; both of them were put there by me
. However, I truly appreciate your feedback and hope that other contributors will use it to improve the quality of this article (I can do it, but I prefer that it be done by somebody more versed in the subject). 69.140.152.55 (talk) 00:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
