Talk:VueScan

message: I realize SilverFast has a big company behind it, but VueScan has a number of important features (at least IT8 calibration, and multipass scanning) not mentioned on this page. This article seems rather superficial for what seems to me an important scanning application.

message: I am a bit sorry to see the Updates History graphic go, but the reality is, for it to remain someone needs to sink some effort into bringing it up to date.  Since I am unwilling to volunteer for that task, I could hardly complain when Pol098 finally made the "Bold Edit" to delete it.  I would say to anyone else that thinks we should keep it: "Please bring it up to date."  (If someone wants to do it, a nearly complete file of the historical data can be found on Version Tracker's website, buried on the VueScan pages in a pop-up menu.  This was the source of the data behind the original graphic.)
Meanwhile, is there an entry in Guiness Records for "most frequently updated program"?  I can't think of another program that even comes close.  Surely it would be a contender for such a record...
In reviewing the classic "Who, What, When, Where, Why & How" guideline, it occurs to me nothing has been said about the author of VueScan beyond his name appearing in the URL to the download page.  Does anyone else think we should add a paragraph (no more than 2) about the author?
Does anyone feel we have left some important question unanswered?  If so, please ask it here and we'll try to answer it by enhancing the main article...

thread_title:  The deletion of the Updates History graphic, & other tidbits 

message: The edits by Special:Contributions/205.144.209.124 on 2007-07-22 appear to me to fit the descrption of WP:WEASEL.  As such I am inclined to revert them.
If this editor wishes to keep this change in place he or she needs to clearly state who has been making "accusations and criticisms" including verifiable citations.  The provided references are not news to the regular editors of this page, not do they support the "accusations and criticisms".
Does anyone else wish to comment before I do anything about this?

thread_title:  about "accusations and criticisms" 

message: I've removed the self-published tag with the following reasoning. I don't doubt that anyone who seriously disagrees will reinstate it, hence no harm done. It seems legitimate that factual information about what a program does could be derived from the program's website (or documentation, etc.) unless there are serious claimed flaws. On the other hand no claims about the quality and similar things should derive this way. I've added a reference near the beginning where it's stated that the scans are good.

thread_title:  self-published tag 

message: I have used Vuescan for about 10 years on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X.  Always with success, and sometimes with scanner/OS combinations for which there were no drivers.
The quoted sources provide accurate information, although I do not have enough experience with the sources (other than hamrick.com) to rate the sources themselves.
The article provides enough information to allow an unfamiliar user to decide whether to try Vuescan.
The only serious omission is that a person using Windows 95, 98 or a PPC Mac would have to  use a version earlier than 9.X - earlier versions are still available from hamrick.com.  This is a point that should be covered on the hamrick.com website, rather than Wikipedia.
Given the (almost) completeness of the information and the low importance relative to other items on Wikipedia, I think that the article should be regarded as complete, rather than as a stub.

replies: text: Complete? I'm not sure. The article has not provided anything in regard to Wikipedia:Notability. Its stub status is the most generous consequence of this. Fleet Command (talk) 04:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
