Does a Wikipedia Gang still control this Wikipedia Topic?

Do Wikipedia thugs still run this Wikipedia topic? Does a Wikipedia gang still control the information and contributions to this page, as they did several years ago? Stevenmitchell (talk) 06:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I am confused as to how this topic helps the encyclopaedia. Stevenmitchell, were you expecting a yes/no answer? Having visited your pages, I get it that you have grievances about [a] word processing article[s] but I cannot see how the questions above will help to resolve them. I haven't seen anyone pop up to reply "yes we/they do", nor indeed "no we/they don't" but then I don't think I would expect that anyway. Surely a way forward might be to discuss here the content that you want to add, or indeed just add it and see if it sticks. If it is reverted then you could take the matter further as appropriate and if it is not then there's a result. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 15:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Missing Stage

It would be good to describe the period when there were portable dedicated word-processors, essentially super-typewriters, such as the Canon StarWriter series and the similar Brother machines, which could utilize five fonts (all built in, of course) three levels of print density (regular, draft, fast draft), and could not only do caps lock but do boldface, italic, and small caps, and could center. At least the Brother machine could do different sizes of type. Each used a 5¼" floppy disk. I am writing from personal knowledge here. If there is any published material on this subject, I think it would be a useful addition. J S Ayer (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

That's all at Word processor (electronic device), linked in the second sentence of this article. MrOllie (talk) 21:18, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, I missed that. J S Ayer (talk) 23:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
