I've only recently discovered Wikipedia -- really cool. So far, my favorite thing to do is to just wander around via Random Page URL, usually fixing any minor errors that I see. I've made no significant contributions. -- loh (2001-05-19)

Au contraire, mon frère. Correcting existing entries is a double service, as it increases the usefulness of Wikipedia twice as much, proportionally, as adding new data. You reorganization of the FAQ is nice, too. --Lee Daniel Crocker

Thanks. I finally decided to heed, at least a little, the admonition to be bold in updating pages. --loh


"I'm particularly fond of your succinct entry on Recursion which I just randomly stumbled into --loh"
Cheers ... and it only took three months for anyone to notice it GWO


I'm glad LDC has already given great praise for correcting entries--I screwed up royally with the Mississippi River entry in my rush to get at least something for a few of the rivers of North America's great central watershed.

Thanks for the correction. -- dja

No problem; I'm sure I have/will provide the same opportunity for someone (heh). --loh


Good to see another ISO 8601 user. --drj

Yeah, I wish it were used more; I'm easily enough confused as it is. --loh


Using the Date as the Title of a Page on Wiki has problems. In writing about say '11 September 2001' '11th September 2001' 'September 11th, 2001' etc it is possible for several authors to have created parallel pages all talking about the same topic. Would it not be better to recommend the usage of 2001-09-11 style formats especially so now that ANSI, NIST, W3C and others LIST are also recommending this anyway??



I've updated LR parser and LALR parser, can you take a look please? Don't forget to be bold in updating pages. What is most obvious to me is the need to write more stuff! (Lookahead LR, Simple LR, Canonical LR, context free grammar, and somewhere to explain "rightmost derivation", and all the other stuff about grammars. Phew! --drj

I'll look soon (about to crash right now). Before I forget though, some programming language tools probably need mentioning: lex and flex, yacc and bison; there was/is something called pccts, I think; ... --loh
