The current page should be entitled "Array Notation" and what is now "Array notation in Dyalog APL" shoud be "Array Notation - implementations" with Dyalog being one section within it. --[[User:Phil Last|Phil Last]] ([[User talk:Phil Last|talk]]) 08:50, 19 August 2022 (UTC) | The current page should be entitled "Array Notation" and what is now "Array notation in Dyalog APL" shoud be "Array Notation - implementations" with Dyalog being one section within it. --[[User:Phil Last|Phil Last]] ([[User talk:Phil Last|talk]]) 08:50, 19 August 2022 (UTC) | ||
:I'll add what I know about the history to the main page. I wasn't aware of the APL# design, so thanks for pointing that out. Most of what you've written doesn't seem appropriate for a wiki, and I'd recommend instead publishing it somewhere else under your name and citing it here. If the conversations with John Scholes are private emails, they're not [[APL_Wiki:Content_guidelines#Verifiability|verifiable]] by a reader unless sourced this way. And as a reader I'm not interested in things like internal issue numbers and half-formed unpublished ideas like :Array. There's a reason Wikipedia [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Writing_about_yourself,_family,_friends|says things]] like "If you have a personal connection to a topic or person, you are advised to refrain from editing those articles directly". We're not so strict about this, but my judgment here (as someone who also has a personal connection!) is that it's interfering with the information density that most readers would want. --[[User:Marshall|Marshall]] ([[User talk:Marshall|talk]]) 12:50, 19 August 2022 (UTC) | |||
