Hi Matt, thanks for importing an article from WP that you wrote. Can I hope that you'll be working on it here at least as much as there? Also, if anyone else made any other edits, we must check that "Content is from Wikipedia?" box. --Larry Sanger 13:23, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Of course. I'm going to remove a lot of red links that I don't think will have articles here in the near future and try and clean up some of the templates that don't exist on CZ. I'm also importing the images it uses that can be used here. I did actually check the box you mentioned in the original import, but it doesn't automagically stay checked in subsequent revisions. Do I need to manually check it for each revision I commit here (assuming that these subsequent revisions are applied on CZ exclusively)? -- Matt Britt 13:32, 16 February 2007 (CST)

A major rewrite of the article has been done to simplify the summary of the definition, move the CPU operation section above the history section, and largely rewrite the CPU operation section for the purpose of a more concise description. Also, the terms instruction set architecture and program counter have been given their own entries and their ref tags removed from the main body of this article. No changes have been made to the history and implementation sections, as they are largely the advanced explanations of the term and need no simplification. Thanks! --Dominic DeStefano 16:03, 30 March 2007 (CDT)
