message: Why is this not there? They have restored a Zuse Z23 and got it working. That should really be in there.

thread_title:  No mention of the working model at the Univery of Erlangen 

message: Between 1987 and 1989, Zuse recreated the Z1, suffering a heart attack midway through the project. It cost 800,000 DM, (approximately $500,000) and required four individuals (including Zuse) to assemble it. Funding for this retrocomputing project was provided by Siemens and a consortium of five companies. --89.25.210.104 (talk) 17:01, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

message: This article, and some other places, say "Zuse KG" as Zuse's company's name. A book I have, The History of Computers by Les Freed, along with pages resulting from a Google search for "Zuse AG", say that Zuse's company was called "Zuse AG".
Most of those Google results actually seem to use "Zuse KG" and "Zuse AG" interchangeably.

message: This source was the same as the one it preceded in the article, except this one is dated 1997 and the other is dated 1998. I have moved it here to preserve it.

thread_title:  Preserving older source 

message: The last sentence of the current lead reads, "Thanks to this machine and its predecessors, Zuse has often been regarded as the inventor of the modern computer." It was followed by SIX sources, which seems a bit excessive. Of the six, the following seems the least reliable: no author, no date, no sources - and who/what is RT-Distribution (main page says "under reconstruction")? So I have removed it from the article and am preserving it here.
