Hazeltine 2000
... that the Hazeltine 2000 was possibly the first general-purpose smart terminal?Source: Columbia University

@Maury Markowitz: Coming to promote this, I see that the source states "The Hazeltine 2000 video terminal, circa 1972, possibly the first popular general-purpose video terminal". If the source uses "possibly the first", neither the article nor the hook should state that it was the first. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:14, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you both. Replacing tick based on IceWelder's review. Alt1 is better than ALT0. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:37, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I was reviewing this hook and I don't think the above point has been addressed yet. The source says "The Hazeltine 2000 video terminal, circa 1972, possibly the first popular general-purpose video terminal", whereas the hook says it "is thought to be" the first. The source doesn't say anything about thinking it's the first, only that it might be. Also, the source does not use the term "smart terminal" so unless there is a source describing it as that, I don't think that's the wording we should be using. Thanks.

- @Evrik: sorry for the delay coming back to this, I think I missed your ping for some reason. ALT1A looks like it satisfies my concerns, so I'm ticking that off now. Thanks to BlueMoonset for the reminder too. — Amakuru (talk) 00:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
