I think it makes sense to keep the different code pages for the IBM PC collected. The entry as it is now is a bit confused in terms of "IBM PC code page", "code page as a more general term" and even "8 bit character sets". perhaps the IBM PC code pages should have an entry of their own? -- Egil 13:45 Mar 10, 2003 (UTC)

NPOV in Microsoft related text

Someone needs to review the Microsoft related text for NPOV, IMHO. mjb 21:00, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I agree and attempted a starting point for this. Pjacobi 18:32, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Valiant attempt, though 'ISO insisted' was a bit strong (ISO just writes a standard based on what the USA (ANSI) and other national standards bodies agree). Have rephrased. mfc

Code page vs. Codepage

Codepage redirects to Character encoding, but Code page gives the page on vendor specific code pages. Am I the only one puzzled about this? Pjacobi 12:24, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

This appears to be fixed now; codepage redirects to code page. -- pne 10:58, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Origin of the term Code Page

The entry should reflect that the term refers to which physical page number in the printed IBM PC Technical Reference Manual (see BIOS) the character set was listed on ...

I do not know if IBM PC/AT Technical Reference Manual 1502494 is exactly the right part to reference, but I believe so. -Hobart

OEM character set

Other pages, (notably FAT), while talking about "OEM character set", redirect to here. But the word "OEM" is missing here. Can somebody please fill the gap?
