  • Computational complexity theory - by some miracle this was a featured article a few years ago, now this vitally important article only skirts on a fraction of the topic and is not too great in quality.--Konst.able 01:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • End-user computing - Listed on WP:CU. Needs clarification and formatting help. --Shimei 05:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Ambient calculus - Could use some additional material on a formal description, and perhaps some small examples. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Calculus of Broadcasting Systems - Needs some serious filling out, to bring it more into line with the level of content in articles like Pi-calculus and Communicating sequential processes. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Calculus of Communicating Systems - Needs some serious filling out, to bring it more into line with the level of content in articles like Pi-calculus and Communicating sequential processes. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Bot note: This was listed by Pearle in the Wikification section below, but I can't see why. No apparent {wikify} tag since october. There is, however, a {Wikiquotepar} tag, and talk page has {WikiProject Computer science} tag. Concurrency (computer science) - Needs expansion into a more complete article, with brief overviews of both the theoretical and practical aspects of concurrency, and pointers to articles giving more detail on these topics. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Unbounded nondeterminism - In need of a review and rewrite, to make it more accessible. --Allan McInnes 02:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Game theory - CS section only has two sentences. Gflores ^Talk 18:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Aldor and A Sharp - Are these different versions of the same language? The information is contradictory. The former is a substub needing urgent attention. Could someone more knowledgeable either combine and redirect or add some content? Wipe 08:41, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • It looks like this is an especially confusing name overlap. "A#" can refer to Aldor, and apparently this was the original use, but the .net version of Ada is also "A#". I suggest moving the Aldor part of the A# article to Aldor, and making A sharp a disambiguation page. --Christopher Thomas 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • High-level emulation - an important topic, but the content of the article is almost totally wrong and useless. I only have a vague idea of what HLE really is so I don't know where to begin. 70.22.178.245 20:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Software developer, Systems analyst, software engineer, programmer, systems architect. All of these need to be cleaned up so they can be in accordance with each other. There is much confusion over what is what. Maybe some merging would be best. Gflores ^Talk 16:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I suspect the confusion here reflect the real-world situation - it's not as though these are formally defined roles that have no overlap. One company's software engineer is another company's systems architect. Nloth 06:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Not to mention that systems architect is a broad term that encompasses much more than software - see the writings of Eberhardt Rechtin for starters. --Allan McInnes (talk) 18:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Flow-based programming. Failed the GA (and GA/R) process! If anyone has time, I would very much appreciate assistance in raising it to GA standards. The article has been described as "too technical", and while googling the subject gives a lot of hits, I don't know how to use these references to demonstrate the topic's place in computing science as a whole. To tell the truth, I have never had the knack of writing "academic" articles! TIA. Jpaulm 14:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Binate function I think this has the completely wrong definition.--Salix alba (talk) 07:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Inversion of control there seems to be a lot of overlap with Dependency Injection, and not a clear-cut definition. Needs some history of the concept, describing how it was forged in the Object-oriented world. Diego (talk) 09:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
