Talk:English in computing

for me this article does not provide enough backing for the figures quoted

VFD notification

This article was nominated at Articles for deletion on Aug. 26, 2005. The ultimate result of the discussion was basically "no consensus". For a non-admin, this is a tough call, so I hope I don't get reprimanded too harshly for making it. I closed the VFD, calling the result of the discussion "no consensus, therefore send it back to the drawing board". I feel fairly confident in doing so, since even the nominator noted that the version at the time of closing was significantly different from the version at the time of nomination. I'm going to close the VFD, because I don't see that the later discussion was even mildly contentious, but I've also added a {{cleanup}} request to the article, and let those editors working on the article itself decide when to remove it. A record of the VFD discussion can be found here. Tomer ^TALK 08:02, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, if you look at it after the changes were made it was basically a keep, 5-2 or something, so no worries. It does need to be rounded out which I'll try to get to. Marskell 08:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Inaccurate 80% figure

It has been years since the Web was 80% English - and this "fact" is actually contradicted by the earlier part of the article. Of the citations listed in support of the Web being 50% or more English, only one seems to be reliable, and it dates from 2001. Most sources I've seen estimate around 35% of the Internet is in English. Tyronen 23:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
