To be checked manually
- Computational complexity theory - by some miracle this was a featured article a few years ago, now this vitally important article only skirts on a fraction of the topic and is not too great in quality.--Konst.able 01:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- End-user computing - Listed on WP:CU. Needs clarification and formatting help. --Shimei 05:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ambient calculus - Could use some additional material on a formal description, and perhaps some small examples. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Calculus of Broadcasting Systems - Needs some serious filling out, to bring it more into line with the level of content in articles like Pi-calculus and Communicating sequential processes. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Calculus of Communicating Systems - Needs some serious filling out, to bring it more into line with the level of content in articles like Pi-calculus and Communicating sequential processes. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- [Bot note: This was listed by Pearle in the Wikification section below, but I can't see why. No apparent {wikify} tag since october. There is, however, a {Wikiquotepar} tag, and talk page has {WikiProject Computer science} tag.] Concurrency (computer science) - Needs expansion into a more complete article, with brief overviews of both the theoretical and practical aspects of concurrency, and pointers to articles giving more detail on these topics. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Unbounded nondeterminism - In need of a review and rewrite, to make it more accessible. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Game theory - CS section only has two sentences. Gflores ^Talk 18:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Aldor and A Sharp - Are these different versions of the same language? The information is contradictory. The former is a substub needing urgent attention. Could someone more knowledgeable either combine and redirect or add some content? Wipe 08:41, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  - It looks like this is an especially confusing name overlap. "A#" can refer to Aldor, and apparently this was the original use, but the .net version of Ada is also "A#". I suggest moving the Aldor part of the A# article to Aldor, and making A sharp a disambiguation page. --Christopher Thomas 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- High-level emulation - an important topic, but the content of the article is almost totally wrong and useless. I only have a vague idea of what HLE really is so I don't know where to begin. 70.22.178.245 20:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Software developer, Systems analyst, software engineer, programmer, systems architect. All of these need to be cleaned up so they can be in accordance with each other. There is much confusion over what is what. Maybe some merging would be best. Gflores ^Talk 16:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  - I suspect the confusion here reflect the real-world situation - it's not as though these are formally defined roles that have no overlap. One company's software engineer is another company's systems architect. Nloth 06:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
    - Not to mention that systems architect is a broad term that encompasses much more than software - see the writings of Eberhardt Rechtin for starters. --Allan McInnes (talk) 18:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Flow-based programming. Failed the GA (and GA/R) process! If anyone has time, I would very much appreciate assistance in raising it to GA standards. The article has been described as "too technical", and while googling the subject gives a lot of hits, I don't know how to use these references to demonstrate the topic's place in computing science as a whole. To tell the truth, I have never had the knack of writing "academic" articles! TIA. Jpaulm 14:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Binate function I think this has the completely wrong definition.--Salix alba (talk) 07:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Inversion of control there seems to be a lot of overlap with Dependency Injection, and not a clear-cut definition. Needs some history of the concept, describing how it was forged in the Object-oriented world. Diego (talk) 09:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

IBM POWER - This article includes quite a lot of errors, is incomplete and badly structured. I think it needs some heavy lifting to get it right. I've included a list of errors and other things that needs to addressed in the Talk section –– Henriok 15:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

MySpace -- Being such an important cultural phenomenon (something along the lines of millions of users) I think this article is in need of some professional attention. As it stands, the prose is mediocre, but it is still far from being very readable or informative. Let's give this article the attention it deserves. Slugmaster 00:17, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

ISeries -- This page is basically just a list of features and I think really needs to have the useful parts merged with AS/400 and then be changed back to a redirect to AS/400. See my comments on the talk page for more detail on the matter. I would do it myself, but would like to at least get some other users' input (preferably the main authors of the article) before deleting it. -- uberpenguin 05:35, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)
Object-oriented software engineering -- surely there's more to say here. What are the features of the method? What about Grady Booch and James Rumbaugh? Gazpacho 02:22, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
XyMTeX should be expanded. Particularly, the new TeX markup it uses should be described in detail, possibly on XyMTeX markup. --Eequor 17:42, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

VSIP - Is this an ad that should go to VfD? Or is it a notable piece of software in its own right? P Ingerson 13:49, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
X Window System protocols and architecture - is not technically complete, is full of holes. In particular, the extension mechanism needs explanation - David Gerard 11:03, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
MicroC/OS-II - Not an encyclopedia article, but rather a text dump of the specification and source codes. - Mike Rosoft 19:34, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
PyMusique - Not a very important article, but could use some sprucing up. --Mrmiscellanious 21:14, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Gutmann method - needs the attention of someone with some time to research the stuff properly and write it more competently. Lacks coherency. Orborde 04:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
MilkDrop - Currently a stub, this should be at least the size of AVS, since they are both bundled with Winamp. --pile0nades^{talk | contribs} 15:31, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
