Review
Hi, thanks for the article, it's very detailed. The article makes it possible for people has no background in this area to learn something quickly. I just made a little syntax modification. Hui Lin 22 (talk) 21:47, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Observations and suggestions for improvements
The following observations and suggestions for improvements were collected, following an expert review of the article within the Science, Technology, Society and Wikipedia course at the Politecnico di Milano, in July 2023. Correzioni necessarie:

Dove dice "In transaction-based systems, the mechanisms that assure durability are historically associated with the concept of reliability of systems," confonde la parte col tutto, l'affidabilità di un sistema è garantita dalla quattro proprietà acide di cui una è la durabilità (non il contrario).

Questo pezzo "In fact, thanks to serializability, they can be discerned from other transactions and, therefore, their changes are discarded.[3] In addition, it is relevant to consider that in-place changes, which overwrite old values without keeping any kind of history are discouraged.[1] There exist multiple approaches that keep track of the history of changes, such as timestamp-based solutions[5] or logging and locking.[1]" non ha senso scritto così.

Nella parte "In particular, the logging mechanism is called write-ahead log (WAL) and allows durability by buffering changes to the disk before they are synchronized from the main memory. " citano WAL come IL logging mechanism, ma è un possibile meccanismo, non IL meccanismo.
