i knowwwww, i'm going through them. feel free to help if you like.
I just moved a bunch of pages as I went around correcting "EOMA-68" to
"EOMA68" (except in one instance which mentioned the misspelling on
http://elinux.org/Embedded_Open_Modular_Architecture/EOMA68 ).
So now http://elinux.org/Embedded_Open_Modular_Architecture/EOMA68 exists
and all of its subpages are moved (at least all the ones the wiki notified
me of). Redirects should help anyone with (what are now) bad bookmarks and I
believe none of the subpages are lost.
awesome. thanks jb.

No problem; I'm happy to help after my wiki login is approved.

... is going to quickly turn into a clusterf*** if people don't step
in sharp-ish and help out.
Well, I added a note in the talk page first of all, which more or less says
that people should review edits and deploy "citation needed" rather than pick
fights on the talk page. I guess it's probably unwise for you to do major
edits for now because that will just upset them even more, but on the positive
side, the page isn't in bad shape right now anyway.
only because i reverted a bunch of factually inaccurate stuff!!
It would be good to put a prominent glossary of terms somewhere that can then
be used to enforce consistency on the Wikipedia page and throughout the other
documentation. I can't find an obviously-located glossary page at the moment.
And since the standard mentions "CPU Card" whereas the Wikipedia page mentions
"Computer Card", people get confused without such guidance.
yeahyeah no this is great stuff - i need to add alex's clarification
about naming as well
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=EOMA-68&oldid=738088717
I hope that other editors can source their material and maybe even widen the
sources to other sites than the ones I had to hand.
yeahyeah.

P.S. A stupid bot caused an edit conflict on the page, and I got the useless
MediaWiki exhortation to merge my edit with the conflicting one (great when
you've got two plain text widgets and nothing else to help you) and not to
just overwrite the existing page text with my own. But it's actually easier to
do an overwrite, save the page, and then to see the differences and fix up if
necessary. Of course, the bot was just adding a date to a "citation needed"
tag, that being a top priority task to ensure maximum page quality, naturally.
that's happened a lot... i do edits on sections, one at a time, now,
because of that, so as not to lose too much / get into too much
hassle.

If you're referring to
http://elinux.org/Embedded_Open_Modular_Architecture/EOMA68/Passthrough
then yes that was handled too.

If that's not the URL you're referring to please let me know what the URL
is and I'll look into it.
