Make Model 4 section a separate article ???
Just finished adding info to the Model 4 section. It seems to be growing rather large. I have been a Model 4 enthusiast/expert since 1984 and I have TONS of Model 4 technical and cultural info in stock. Schematics, Tech Ref, The Source (commented assember source code to TRSDOS 6.2 published by Logical Systems), every 80 Micro, Misosys Quarterly, Computer News 80, TRSTimes, scores of Model 4 software packages will full documentation.
Am wondering if it would be helpful to start a separate article exclusively for the Model 4 and replace the Model 4 section here with a stub. Would this be a worthwhile effort? I'll probably do it on my own anyway as a labor of love, but if it's not welcome here then I wouldn't post it. I'll check back here in a couple weeks. Thanks everybody!Wikkileaker (talk) 13:14, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I think the section is now long enough to justify a split. Keep up the good work in expansion. Please be careful, however, when you insert text. If a paragraph already has cites, you must demarcate what the next applicable cite cites and what it doesn't. Note how I inserted [citation needed] as such demarcations after two recent adds of yours; [citation needed] isn't ideal, but it's better than implying that the next cite supports your addition.

- I'll have to look at it later, no time right now. Thanks.Wikkileaker (talk) 20:34, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Boy 2½ years and it seems like yesterday...I still think this is a good idea and I'm willing and able to make the effort, but what and how much should go into it, different from what's already here, should be agreed on before I spend alot of time on it. So much else yet to do... Wikkileaker (talk) 13:30, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
- I started it for you. There was already a redirect. The main TRS 80 article needs the rest of the Model 4 stuff summarized but other matters call to me now. --Wtshymanski (talk) 05:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
