Talk:Steve Wozniak/@comment-5547450-20120925031517

This article was well put done. It was both detailed and concise which is a difficult trick to manage with a word limit in place.

Fact Checking: The biggest issue I’m seeing in the article is that some of the facts are wrong. Steve Wozniak did not develop BASIC. Apple had an Interpreter for the basic language, but Woz did not actually create the language. It was invented by Thomas Kurtz (http://cis-alumni.org/TKurtz.html). The confusion here may have been caused by the odd language of programming. An interpreter for a language and a language are not the same thing.

Sources: I did find that there appeared to be some confusion on whether it was at least 5 sources per section or 5 overall. I’m not entirely clear on that myself, but from what I read in the assignment, it’s 5 for the overall wiki entry (Not that there is anything wrong with extra sources, It just looks like the group was not sure on that particular area either!). To fix this, the authors could try to thin out the source list to avoid unnecessary extras.

The writing throughout the article was well done. Overall it was very educational, and completed the assignment well.
