[edit]

There is a Link "see also" to the history of KDE. However the linked article has been replaced by a redirect to the KDE article, making the reference useless. I suggest either to replace the redirect to something like Kde4#Released_versions or directly replace the link in "see also". However this part would not cover the time before KDE4.

Whats the notability of country logos?

[edit]

Are the KDE Argentina and Chile logos notable enough to show here. I mean something like Kubuntu logo would be more notable than these country logos.

Is there special significance I am missing out on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.148.123.189 (talk) 02:39, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OSI affiliate

[edit]

KDE e.V. is an affiliate of the Open Source Institute for a while now. Anyone wants to add that to the article?

manifesto

[edit]

It'd be great if someone could add the KDE Manifesto to the article. Here's some useful sources:

Basic Statistics

[edit]

The press page for KDE may be a bit dated. They say 1800 developers and 6 million lines of source code, however, ohloh has that figure much higher:

Grammar, language issues

[edit]

The article looks somewhat "unenglish" to me (especially the "Akademy" part, for example). Please note thta I am not a native english speaker and so might be mistaken. --CHF (talk) 03:39, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are very correct. User Alisha.4m extended various KDE articles a lot quite a while ago. And while the effort is great she used incredibly bad English, sometimes so bad I wondered if automated translation tools of the sections I wrote for German Wikipedia were used. For some time I tried to clean up after her and fix the grammar but she added more and more bad grammar, I eventually gave up… --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 13:02, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

[edit]

Please add disambiguation to term "KDE". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.188.27.144 (talk) 20:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the hatnote to point to the disambiguation page so that other entries such as that one can be found when you type "KDE" in and arrive here. - Aoidh (talk) 20:17, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a HatNote re Lack of real citations

[edit]

On Wiki, self-sourcing is not considered great. Here and there, one or two, fine, but:

  • Of 122 "REFs" 96 are to KDR.org; 26 are non-KDE.
  • 2 of the "non-KDE" are to a spanish-KDE site, so that's 24.
  • one of the 24 is to KDEnews.org, so that's 23.

There's something about RS, Reliable Source(s).

  • One Ref is to TheRegister
  • One Ref is to CIO Magazine
  • One apiece to Linux Magazine and to LinuxPro
  • TWO to ARS Technica
  • TWO are to NTVMSNBC (a spanish news source)

So an article that has 122 citations, and presumably at least half are important, i.e. would otherwise say CITATION NEEDED, this article needs a HatNote. Pi314m (talk) 01:36, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
