EDAC (error detection and correction)
I usually hear the phrase "error detection and correction" (EDAC) rather than "error correction and detection". What does Google say? --DavidCary 00:42, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Article we renamed at one point perhaps in appreciation of this. ~Kvng (talk) 23:54, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Ancient Jewish history should be backed up or deleted
The section on Ancient Jewish bible copyists feels highly anachronistic, and the relevance of its content and cited sources to this article is dubious. I suggest that anyone who believes this section should be kept begin by providing some evidence from a writer (a historian, journalist, scientist, etc.) with expertise in the article's subject that the practice can be traced back to this Ancient Jewish practice. Then we can begin to discuss how pertinent this information to the history of error detection and correction. Otherwise, the relationship is merely associative and folklorish.

- @Zelous cat Agreed. It's certainly very interesting, but none of the cited research actually links it to modern error-checking, which would make this original synthesis. Nicknimh (talk) 12:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Nicknimh It is interesting. Hopefully someone finds the sources to include it in this article or another. For now I have removed the paragraph. Zelous cat (talk) 10:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- I'm just seeing this discussion. I have restored the material. I think you're setting a inappropriately high bar for sourcing in a C-class article. I will try to make improvements. It will not happen immediately. ~Kvng (talk) 16:27, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
