List of Prospective Articles
Each student should add an entry to the table below. Please edit row very carefully, and don't make syntax errors. You can just read below and copy the code for a row and edit it.

Unencyclopaedic content
I'm a little concerned that some of the articles in this project might not be considered encyclopaedic. In particular '"Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal'" WP:NOTMANUAL. Some of the articles for instance Strxfrm currently read like a programming reference manual so doesn't meet inclusion criteria. I've prodded that article.--Salix (talk): 19:45, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Note this file has now been deleted. You can contact me, or other admins, if you need to recover any deleted material for assessment purposes.--Salix (talk): 19:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Article is now on AFD Articles for deletion/Strxfrm. This project does need to start paying attention to wikipedia policy and process issues.--Salix (talk): 07:54, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There is now a discussion on ANI about the AFD's relating to this project. As well as Strxfrm, Clock (computing) is on AFD. Abort (C standard library), complex inverse hyperbolic sine, Cpow, Frexp, Sqrt (C standard library), and Strtok are all proposed for deletion.--Salix (talk): 10:37, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

atan (c) another one. I would also add that it might have been common courtesy to notify the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer science projects on some of the proposals. Veteran editors could have helped avoid the effort creating manual page entries only to have them be deleted. Efforts to improve existing articles are much appreciated. Thanks.

 * There is now a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. There is a suggestion that some of the articles of this course be transferred to wikibooks.--Salix (talk): 22:48, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Copyrights
Hello everyone, Its fantastic that your whole class has signed up and have selected the articles to work upon. Believe me, you have a strong lead in CoEP. There are certain issues I want to discuss with you all guys, the most important of them is, your content and copyrights. Please don't add any copyrighted text on your articles, adding it might create a trouble for you. So please keep it simple and do contact any of the CAs if you get in any trouble. We all are here to help you guys only. Rangilo Gujarati (talk) 17:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There is a good explanation at Copy-paste which everyone should read. JohnCD (talk) 11:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Link to changes made
Do we have to add a link to compare the changes made by the students only or to the link that compares the topic just before it was assigned to us and as it is now? Some of the changes, made by us are edited by other people also, so which link do we have to add? Please clarify. I have added a link that compares the article as it was assigned to us and as it was when this section had been written. Jobin (talk) 08:41, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Please look at the link I have added, I don't think that it has been added properly. Please advise me on how to correct it.Jobin (talk) 09:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
