Latest comment: 3 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, anybody hanging around being able to clear the messy references section? Thank you foryour time. Lotje (talk) 12:36, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

@Lotje: It's in progress, by me, as my edit summary on the big expansion indicated. By the end of today it should all be good. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:11, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

... that in many ways the Santa Cruz Operation, a computer software company, reflected the nature of the place for which it was named?
- ALT1:... that the Santa Cruz Operation prospered from the "open systems" movement but fell victim to the "open source" movement?
- ALT2:... that one of the founders of the Santa Cruz Operation later said that "we had every type of relationship with Microsoft you can imagine"?

Overall:

As someone who saw this article years ago, it's great to see how far it has gone. The copyvio detector detected two quoted block quotes, which are appropriately used in the article so I can safely disregard that. I'm glad to approve this nomination, though I'm a bit disinclined to go with the first proposed hook; I'm inclined to go with ALT2 since it would be more relatable to non-open source nerds, but I want to see what others think. Otherwise though, congratulations! --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 02:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
