Call Detail Record
[edit]For some reason, the wikipedia page for Call Detail Record redirects here. It should not. A call detail record is a specific type of information stored by telecom companies. It is often used in computer science / EE / etc. research for machine learning, etc. It is also used for telecommunications billing. Google seems to believe there is a separate wikipedia page for this, as the google "blurb" matches my description, and not the "record (computer science)" description. I'm a newbie here so... how do we fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.59.22.143 (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- Given that there is, at least now, a call detail record page, Call Detail Record should go there, not here. I've fixed it to do so. Guy Harris (talk) 05:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
"C tutorial"
[edit]To the anonymous IP who in their edit summary said "Does this C tutorial really belong here anyway?", I think it shouldn't be. The abstract description says about the same amount about records in a much more widely applicable way in about two sentences. Maybe it could be made more newbie-friendly, but there's no need to do more than mention that C has support for records and that they're called structs. This is why I made the rather drastic change I did. I suspect this was the result of a merge of some sort. Deco 06:15, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Retrieved old page from early 2005 to make a page on the notion of record type
[edit]This page used to redirect to object composition from spring 2005. I retrieved the old page to have a page on the notion of record type, notion that I could not find described elsewhere.
I'm still unclear whether it makes sense:
- to keep a reference to the record data structure in the article, a notion which is referred from the record disambiguation page,
- to keep the page name record (computer science) rather than giving it a name record type.

Merge proposition
[edit]The retrieval was a good thing! I propose to merge it with "Storage record", which is a weirdly named stub. "Record" is a very basic computing concept, so I think we should point out the history and chronology (first of all). --Kubanczyk (talk) 20:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Use of the term "Pickling"
[edit]It may be beneficial to change the term Pickling to serialization as pickling is a python-specific word for serializattion which is unlikely to be understood by those not familiar with the Python language. I propose changing the word pickling to serialization and providing a link to the existing article Crippledsmurf (talk) 11:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- The term "pickling" currently appears nowhere in the article, but serialization, complete with link, does, so I guess somebody (or more than one somebody) fixed this. Guy Harris (talk) 05:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
elaborate more on information theory
