Removing list of resources from Asymmetric Numeral Systems article?
I am the author of ANS coding and have noticed that you have removed the list of resources ( https://encode.su/threads/2078-List-of-Asymmetric-Numeral-Systems-implementations ) I am maintaining from its Wikipedia article Asymmetric numeral systems.
It, among others, provides list of links (verifiable by archive.org) to confirm "used in data compression since 2014" statement with the only stated placement in time for ANS. This list is placed in the only open discussion forum gathering authors of data compressors currently in use.
Now this article is missing referral to placement in time and more complete list of resources - what alternative to link you have removed do you propose? --Jarek Duda (talk) 03:48, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Jarek Duda: Thanks for the query. If we are trying to justify the use of a forum post as a reliable source, so there should be clarity that the writer is an authority, so maybe we utilise {{cite web}} and ensure the use of the author field and fields that support its use.
What didn't help is that the sentence structure is pretty clunky so uncertain on what it is particularly citing. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:26, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: Thank you, I am not native English speaker, nor experienced editor. I have a feeling that there is now scarcity of editors for technical topics, what enforces experts in a field to write articles about new important topics - which might require polishing by professional editors. --Jarek Duda (talk) 05:11, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
thank you for your kind input
