Talk:Code page

I think it makes sense to keep the different code pages for the IBM PC collected. The entry as it is now is a bit confused in terms of "IBM PC code page", "code page as a more general term" and even "8 bit character sets". perhaps the IBM PC code pages should have an entry of their own? -- Egil 13:45 Mar 10, 2003 (UTC)
NPOV in Microsoft related text
Someone needs to review the Microsoft related text for NPOV, IMHO. mjb 21:00, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Valiant attempt, though 'ISO insisted' was a bit strong (ISO just writes a standard based on what the USA (ANSI) and other national standards bodies agree). Have rephrased. mfc
Code page vs. Codepage
Codepage redirects to Character encoding, but Code page gives the page on vendor specific code pages. Am I the only one puzzled about this? Pjacobi 12:24, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Origin of the term Code Page
The entry should reflect that the term refers to which physical page number in the printed IBM PC Technical Reference Manual (see BIOS) the character set was listed on ...
I do not know if IBM PC/AT Technical Reference Manual 1502494 is exactly the right part to reference, but I believe so. -Hobart
