Talk:Ecma International

message: This article says that Ecma has become more "widely-recognized" due to Microsoft submitting its OOXML format to them for standardization. The reference links to the OOXML page on Wikipedia, which has nothing about Ecma becoming more widely-recognized as a result of OOXML. The fact that Ecma has probably received thousands of submissions yet this one is given its own section in the Ecma article makes me question not only the accuracy of the section but also the intent of its author.

message: Is the proper title for the article ECMA, ECMA International, or Ecma International? What exactly is this article about? --Fang Aili 20:11, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ecma International, or the European association for standardising information and communication systems, is a standards organization. It acquired the name Ecma International in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name in order to reflect the international activities of the organisation. The long form of "ECMA" was dropped then and capitalization changed to reflect this.
With the new wording, do you still think the article needs cleanup in order "to meet Wikipedia's quality standards" or is it OK to remove the  tag now? The Rod 20:34, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Much clearer, thank you! I'll remove the cleanup tag. --Fang Aili 17:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Emca vs EMCA 

message: The 'aims' section reads a bit like marketing copy. For over 40 years it's done this, it's achieved over 2/3 success with that, it's published over 230 whatevers, it prides itself on blah blah blah. Anyone mind if I trim it and tone it down?

replies: text: And "Unlike national standardization bodies, Ecma is a membership-based organization."  Wouldn't it also be true to say "Like most standardization bodies, Ecma is a membership-based organization.", or even "Ecma is a membership-based organization." ? 150.101.166.15 (talk) 03:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  adding a criticisms section 

message: I have paper copies of the following ECMA standards. They are 8 1/2 x 11 with blue covers. They all deal with character sets, which I was working on at the time. (See my contribution to the tilde article, which I'm very proud of.) The biggest is 24 pages. I want to get rid of them (they were very hard to get from ECMA in the 80s, which, from the little corner I saw, did not seem to be a well-run enterprise). Does anybody want them, or have a suggestion of any library/museum that I could send them to? It's all available online now, although these specific editions might not be, if anyone else is interested in character set history.
* 6, 5th edition, March 1985
