Talk:Datapath

COI edits
This appears to be one of a number of articles largely edited by Reiner Hartenstein that for purposes of self promotion (see: Talk:Reconfigurable_computing). It also cites only a single source.

 * Searching the entire edit history of this article I find that editor made just two edits (diff). I assume that the portion objected to is the statement: "Under the Anti machine paradigm, however, the datapath is stand-alone and does not have a Program counter, since this paradigm, the counter part of the von Neumann paradigm, is data-stream-based and has Data counters located in Auto-sequencing memory units." As the red-links are apparently long gone, I'm removing your COI tag, which has lingered for much longer than the issue itself. Indeed, the offending edits were removed in 2007, less than two months after they were added, and years before you added the tag, which I find curious. Wbm1058 (talk) 01:34, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Look out for possible copyright violations in this article
This article has been found to be edited by students of the India Education Program project as part of their (still ongoing) course-work. Unfortunately, many of the edits in this program so far have been identified as plain copy-jobs from books and online resources and therefore had to be reverted. See the India Education Program talk page for details. In order to maintain the WP standards and policies, let's all have a careful eye on this and other related articles to ensure that no copyrighted material remains in here. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 15:01, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Propose merger from Finite-state machine with datapath
I propose merging Finite-state machine with datapath (FSMD) into this article. It's not clear to me that these machines meet WP:Notability on their own; there are hundreds of finite-state models proposed in the literature and used for various purposes & for various systems applications, why does this particular one have an article and not others?

On the theory side I can say confidently these machines are not studied (also, the article lacks citations and a formal definition), but if they are important on the hardware side then we should explain that better. Caleb Stanford (talk) 22:25, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
