I just started reviewing the article, but I have a suggestion already. The hook should probably add the fact that it was only stated. One source stating that it literally made the modern IC industry doesn't necessarily make it so. SL93 (talk) 11:05, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Much of what appears in the lead, such as what it says about the number of units sold, Wall Street, and Micrascan doesn't appear elsewhere in the article which is fine - but it needs to be referenced. SL93 (talk) 11:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry didn't get the ping. All fixed? Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:25, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Good to go. SL93 (talk) 17:50, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to link the QPQ, but there's no such page. Could you link it to the correct page please? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:34, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I can't it seems - the article was there when I linked it, but now it seems to be gone. When I use History on this noms page, I always get today's version even though it says otherwise at the top. For instance, I selected the version from 5 August and I could still see your comment posted today. Maury Markowitz (talk)

OMG, an autocorrect issue. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:41, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
