Well, the feature is called "Contributors", not "Equal Contributors" without any ranking in there. Let's say I've written an article, then I notice that Zorro shows up in the contributor list. I think, who is Zorro, and what did he do there? I look at the page history, and notice that Zorro fixed a typo. Then I'll say, silly mistake, good that Zorro has fixed it.

That's correct and I see it that way too (and am pleased when someone corrects my typos), but I can still fully understand, that it can also be seen as a mis-representation of the time and work invested in the content being presented.

Here goes the Arnold codename article, http://cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Arnold_(Codename) I bet you will absolutely HATE it. It's full of speculations, and I really didn't knew what I was talking about when writing the section about Arnold numbers :-) the part about Arnold 4 should be correct. But as for Arnold 1-3 and Arnold 5... To me, they could mean this or that (or both this and that).

I hope somebody knows more about those numbers, and will edit the article!

EDIT: I've also seen webpages omitting the costdown CPCs and referring to the Plus as Arnold 4. So even arnold 4 isn't always meaning arnold 4 :-)

I talked to CPCManiaco just to tell him I'll be updating his Arnor pages by updating the manuals (from simply scanned to full Ocr'ed versions), updating some images and uploading missing files (many arnor roms were still missing, and kindly provided by CPCManiaco himself fir dumping).

He wrote most of the articles and you could say that I have been doing minor edits, but I had my share of work too, and neither CPCManiaco and I are that of credit whores to fight for the contributor status. We both did some nice work in the pages and appear as contributors, so that makes us happy.

Anyway, we should be focusing on entering the most info to the wiki instead of discussing such matters.

Just to weigh in on the contribs issue - which it shouldn't be, really. The mod if NOT intended to be a precise and detailed list. It's just interesting to be able to see how many and which people have contributed to a web page. Now, if you have the intention to do a really minor edit in order to see your name up there then I feel sorry for you; but, come on, it's not an issue with our wiki. If it ever becomes one we can deal with it.

The contributors analysis on the front page is more 'scientific'. For more detailed options, there's also the history page of each page.

...and let's try to keep it civilized here, people (=Markus

). It's jot the "fuck"word that bothers me in that post, it's the attitude. You may be 100% correct, but let's please keep the volume down.

Please stop that pictures! It makes me blind!

And me? I realized my big chance and shamelessly edited http://cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Computing_with_the_Amstrad. Living in germany, I never saw that mag for real, so I just added some of my meaningless superficial knowledge. And, now I have 25% fame :-) and on top of it: the other 3 editors have 8% less fame, har-har-har ;-) nothing serious, just kidding!

Now, what's with http://cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Arnold_(Codename) ? Where are the ten-billion people who know everything about Arnold? If there are no other official docs mentioning it: The gate array numbering idea would make most sense to me; Arnold 4-5 are quite clearly referring to the SMD chips. Then the more common homebrew numbering for 464,664,6128,costdown,plus would be all bullshit :-)
