Bug reported re: category section

I noticed a phantom category at the bottom that is redlined, but can't get rid of it. I reported it to Phabricator.Timtempleton (talk) 20:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fog vs. Edge

What's the difference between fog computing and edge computing? Please answer on the fog computing talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.213.3.4 (talk) 11:45, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite needed

I rewrote the introduction, but this whole article is too WP:TECHNICAL for non-expert readers. I'm not an expert enough to rewrite this on my own. I'm gonna need some help. -- Daviddwd (talk) 16:15, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Advocates of Edge have several different and contradictory definitions. Much of the article was out of date and/or only relevant if you assume a particular definition. Often contradictory. This leaves a very short article so I will ask experts I know to improve it. — Dave Burstein Daveburstein (talk) 07:56, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is not too technical: it is not technical enough! it is just a load of waffle with not the slightest hint of what real implementations might be like. The article should be written up to describe it as an ill-defined but widely used term. Some actual examples and a picture, such as this, would help. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:13, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We also need to remember that [WP:NOTDIC|Wikipedia is not a dictionary]]. So, the article shouldn't be waffling about what Edge Computing means, but rather, choosing a definition and describing it. If there are multiple definitions, the disambig link should send the user to articles of other definitions. Minority definitions can probably be just ignored.

Examples and applications

I have moved the recent good-faith edit from RichardWeiss into the main text (hope that's OK as a compromise). A quick additional point though: we should be careful not to introduce an indiscriminate list of examples and applications, unless such applications have been covered in detail by non-promotional sources ("non-promotional" excludes many trade magazines and similar publications, that primarily serve to hype their industry and products). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not another platform for the latest industry news.GermanJoe (talk) 12:04, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
