Fred Fish Citation Problems[edit]

Uh.. that citation is a circular reference that references this Wiki article as *its* source. That's not much of a citation. Kothog 19:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For clarity, the above comment was apparently referring to this cite [1] (now removed) of a blog post. The gdb mailing list post from Fish's son we cite now doesn't have that problem.

I miss Fred.[edit]

GNU Emacs port to SysVR2[edit]

USG SVR2 port of GNU emacs is ready - Fred Fish UniSoft Systems Inc., Aug 10, 1985

Awkward first sentence of the paragraph titled "The Amiga Library Disks"[edit]

The first sentence of this paragraph currently reads:

"The Amiga Library Disks – colloquially referred to as Fish Disks (a term coined by Perry Kivolowitz at a Jersey Amiga User Group meeting) – became the first national rallying point."

As someone unfamiliar with the topic I'm confused as to what is meant here. What exactly is "the first national rallying point"? Is it "The Amiga Library Disks"? The difference in plurality as well as the term "rallying point" being used in a somewhat confusing manner, (Rallying point for who? What is being rallied for?) seems like a confusing start to this paragraph. Ongediertmn (talk) 18:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
