Talk:Optimal erasure codes with arbitrary parameters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Context please. --Several Times 20:19, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Charles, you did help significantly, but the body of the article is still solely technical writing, with little-to-no contextualisation. Could you add a little more? jglc | t | c 01:02, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] delete/merge?
This seems like a pretty useless article to me. See erasure code for context. This article could either be merged there or deleted. Also, the text seems to refer to some diagrams that are not present--does someone want to make them? Could it mean that the article itself is copied from a textbook? Maybe it could be rewritten in terms of the Reed-Solomon code or an interpolation code. Feel free to incorporate from the following if it looks useful:

the text seems to refer to some diagrams that are not present -- yes, but I see from the history that diagrams *were* present in the original version of this page. Later they were deleted. I am glad they are still available at http://rational.co.za/fec/ . Apparently that website and the first version of this Wikipedia article were the same. I guess that User:Nroets (who wrote that first version of this Wikipedia article) and the "nroets" of http://rational.co.za/ are the same person. What I find odd is that the http://rational.co.za/fec/ page has zero information on who the author is, what year it was written, etc. --68.0.120.35 03:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
