Scope of article

The lead give a very narrow definition of input queue, which Input queue#Networking does not satisfy. Either the lead should be rerwritten in a more general fashion or the article should be split and {{about}} or {{distinguish}} tags added. If it is split then links to this article should be checked for relevance, e.g., the term single input queue in Presentation manager does not satisfy the definition currently in the lead.

Also it has little relevance to GUI programming where the term "input queue" is often used to mean message queue. The latter article didn't mention this either, so I just added a brief section. Event loop focuses on the actions and not on the queue itself. Peter Flass (talk) 04:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

nonsense

Re-reading this, this article seems to be nonsense. If you’re talking about batch processing you have a quere of jobs, not processes. As I mentioned before, in a gui, or a network application, you have a queue of messages. If you’re talking about processes this sounds like a queue of processes ready to run used by the scheduler.
