Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was Move, uncontroversial. Parsecboy (talk) 15:48, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be moved to Array.
The "Array" page used to be about arrays in computer science; it has been split into two articles, array data structure and array data type. The "Array" page is now a redirect to Array (disambiguation). Since there are two major computer senses for "array" and several other non-computer senses, "Array" should be a disamb page. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 06:32, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Edit reversion

@Berek: your edit had the effect of reverting my previous edit which was to "Remove disambiguation tag to convert this article into a list article". I don't believe this article is a disambiguation page per WP:DISAMBIGUATION and MOS:DAB. This page consists of a (very) large number of partial title matches, a number of faulty entries such as those with redlinks and no article, and one valid disambiguation entry (ARRAY), and perhaps also Astronomical interferometer. That's not to say it isn't useful—as a list article—but it isn't disambiguating anything. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Berek:. I have no position, I'm an editor just like you ;-) Feel free to use {{Disambiguation cleanup}} tag if you like: someone will come along and clean up later. Regards, Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:48, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Berek: Today you re-applied the dab tag after you inferred agreement above to its deletion. I removed it. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:48, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adding some categories would help keep people from re-adding the dab tags. As would moving the article to a more standard name like "List of arrays by type" or something similar. QuiteUnusual (talk) 10:18, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@QuiteUnusual: I agree about the categories: please go ahead. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:02, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
