Pleading[edit]

Please don't delete this page!!!

I want to read it and refer to it, but I can't do that right now. In any case, there is almost certainly something of value here. Eweinber (talk) 05:19, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this page is worth further expansion, and especially contextualisation with correct links. The work by this woman has proven to be essential to the development in computer sciences and practical real world computing to a degree she's on par with Turing and Lovelace to me at least. It is my feeling the six functions mentioned but never listed are actually in the image Ucs_rules. There are Tmaps and Fmaps for join, include, and OR. I wouldn't be surprised to see links with Category Theory in Mathematics as there is a useful relation between this type of math and functional programming languages like Haskell. Function mapping, fmap for short is a concept expressible in both. This kinda indicates Margaret Hamilton knows Category Theory and knows how to wield it in software engineering too! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.78.7.178 (talk) 11:33, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional[edit]

This article seems to have been created for promotional purposes. There's probably something of value here that shouldn't just be merged into Margaret Hamilton (scientist), but it needs to be scrutinized for promotional tone and for content not of encyclopedic interest.

I've trimmed what seemed to me like unduly promotional claims. Rhoark (talk) 20:57, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Six axioms[edit]

Several times the article mentions the six axioms, but nowhere does the article say what they are. Would someone please rectify that omission? John Link (talk) 22:18, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Whether the title of the article should be in sentence case as "Universal systems language" or whether it should be in title case as "Universal Systems Language"[edit]

So, it is true that MOS:AT speaks about Capitalize the initial letter (except in rare cases, such as eBay), but otherwise follow sentence case, but it also says, except where title case would be expected were the title to occur in ordinary prose.

And Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) also says:

Note that all style guides conflict on some points; the Wikipedia MoS and naming conventions are a consensus-based balance between them, drawing primarily upon academic style, not journalistic or marketing/business styles, and taking into account Wikipedia-specific concerns.

So, in terms of academic papers, could search Google Scholar:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?&q=%22universal+systems+language%22

In some of those results it's all lowercase but that's in a context like, "This paper is about a universal systems language based on a general systems theory..." or in "And, further, that the formal semantics of the 001AXES universal systems language could be used in this regard to....".

So, anyway, going with the perspective that it's generally the case that all the words are capitalized in regular prose, and so can do a rename.
