promotional material from 1976

Promotional material for APL from 1976

I see the image I added was removed with the comment "Remove promotional material poster - no benefit to the article and overly dominates page". I rather like the image, and think that it makes the page less overwhelmingly dominated by text. I also think that the article benefits from some colour, and the '70s style of the image contextualizes an important time in the development of APL. It is not unusual for an article of this length to have a few pictures, and I think that the picture is beneficial to the article. If other people do not agree with me, please discuss it here before removing the picture again. Thanks! --Keithonearth (talk) 17:44, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are right - I removed it somewhat WP:BOLDly as I was working through structuring the article (having found it a bit incoherent and hard to follow) and I should have found a way to reincorporate it - it had been my aim, after all, to find a more logical flow for the content without making any substantive modifications other than positioning. I do think the size of the image as it currently is on the article page is a bit imposing and it could perhaps be shrunk as it is was here and remain perfectly clear; maybe also it's not in the best place where it is. There is more I would like see done to restructure, reference and expand this article but I wanted to see what kind of reaction there was before pursuing it further myself, so thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for the comment, and the work on the page. I still don't feel like the image at it's present size dominates the page, but I'm only too happy for it to be moved anywhere on the page that you feel fit. --Keithonearth (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

APL at the Atlanta Public Schools

The Atlanta Public Schools Computer Center (APSCC) ran APL\360, and later APL.SV during the 1970s. I know; I maintained the system for several years. After I left the APSCC, I worked for several years at The Computer Company (TCC) in Richmond, VA, which is also mentioned in the article. Finding good refs for that history will be interesting—I wonder how many of the folks are still alive.

If I can find some sources, I'll update the article to include the APSCC info—we taught a lot of kids (and several teachers) to code in APL during that decade. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 00:30, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
