Since I did some minor copyedits, I'll be bold and start the show.

• First off, what is "Exam Mode"?
• Source 23 (the one by Patrick Davidson) might be AI-generated
• Numerous sources, such as source 24, don't have author information. Please continue to flesh out the sources

I'm going to put the review on hold so further improvements can be made. At a glance, it looks a lot better than the first review -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』18:59, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:OpalYosutebito, hi and thanks for the review!

• I thought I had that stated, my mistake. Revised, to:put a calculator into Exam Mode, which disables the execution of certain programs
• I think I see where the misunderstanding is from. The?utm_source_chatgpt.com flag represents that ChatGPT found the source (like Google), not that it was AI-generated itself. The Wayback Machine confirms the source existed long before AI did.
• I will, thanks.

Maybe for the exam mode sentence, you can add "to preventacademic dishonesty"if it says so in the source wait, I don't think the Exam Mode part is sourced... -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』19:55, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at the grammar and word choice.thrice is kind of an awkward, overly-fancy word; you might wanna stick to "three times" -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』20:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'll think about this.OmegaAOLtalk?20:48, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I meant "thrice" is archaic, if that makes more sense... -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』01:32, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thrice is archaic?! I had no idea... but at the end of the day, is falling literacy rates really Wikipedia's problem?OmegaAOLtalk?12:53, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the first paragraph in "TI-84 Plus Silver Edition", you only need one link to [12] at the end of the paragraph. Too many reference calls can distract readers from the prose itself -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』20:47, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Also minor copyedits.OmegaAOLtalk?20:51, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the parts about hobbyism in the article could be moved to a separate section (similar to a "Legacy" section you'd find for a universally-acclaimed movie or video game) so they don't distract from the rest of the features -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』17:37, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I could, but I wouldn't particularly like to do this for 2 reasons:

• Hobbyism is very tied into this calculator in particular. Every section under "Software" would need to be duplicated under a Legacy header, except now with only hobbyist content. I think this would be confusing and contribute to a "too many headers, too little text" readability problem. It works fine as is, with each section covering in two seperate paragraphs both the official and the hobbyist contribution.
• The TI-84-bros are mad enough at me. :D

However I have revamped the Programs and Apps section to make seperation of the concept and the hobbyist achievments more clear.OmegaAOLtalk?10:04, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the "Monochrome calculators" section, do you have any information about versions 2.22, 2.41 and 2.43? -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』17:43, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I noticed that you cited the guidebook, which is really long. Please add specific pages (where applicable). You can undomy edit where I merged the duplicate links if it helps, and if you need my help converting the guidebook to sfn format, I'll be happy to do so :D -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』18:09, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do, actually, but from other wikis, and those don't cite sources - I can't use them as they count as WP:UGC.OmegaAOLtalk?09:46, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the Datamath sources, I saw some possible author information and dates on the bottom. For example,this one contains "Joerg Woerner, February 3, 2002" at the bottom of the page -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』18:17, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was considering adding that, but Joerg is just the webmaster, not necessarily the author of the content, so I'm conflicted.OmegaAOLtalk?09:45, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay. Is there anything else for the "TI-84 Plus Pocket" section? It looks kind of short, but maybe that's just me :| -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』01:11, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@OpalYosutebito: Sadly, I was only able to find one piece of other info on it; it was the first regional calculator in the TI-84 Plus series, However, while looking for more info on the Pocket, I found a list of equipment compatible with the TI-84 Plus; I have now added a whole new section titled Equipment. Check it out!OmegaAOLtalk?15:26, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Hi @OpalYosutebito. Fleshed out sources, like you asked, and also replaced the TI-Connect features with a table in which I re-sourced all information from the official guidebook. It looks like the "Exam Mode" part was a remnant of the old article that I somehow missed.OmegaAOLtalk?20:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Also slightly revamped the Operating systems section.OmegaAOLtalk?21:36, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Oh, dang. Also, sorry if my responses are sporadic/delayed; I'm in the middle of a college semester -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』22:38, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Sure, that's fine!OmegaAOLtalk?16:50, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Quite a few sources use customer support, and I'm fairly certain that it's considered a forum/community posting of sorts -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』19:00, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   The article could also use some background and context for the calculators (history, development process, thoughts and opinions by the creators, etc). Maybe it's just me, but quite a few of the good articles I've reviewed (ex:Miiverse,Pinkie (video game),444 East 58th Street) have some sort of "backstory" to them -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』19:04, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   OpalYosutebito This is a good point actually, and I would like to do this but I can't actually find much information on the TI-84's "backstory" or early history, or development process. Texas Instruments is very secretive. All I can really add, possibly, is a condensed history of TI's graphing calculators as a whole, but it's kind of hard to tie all that to the TI-84.OmegaAOLtalk?09:42, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   It's okay, but it would help if you show me what you found so we can see what is out of scope or not -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』03:56, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   @OpalYosutebito: About TI-84 Plus development: there's nothing. This is because of two reasons:

   • Texas Instruments is very secretive.
   • This was 2003. The internet and discussion and leaks weren't that much of a thing yet.

   it's not so much as "I can't find a good source" as much as "I can't find any source". I searched Google Groups' Usenet archive, old forums, etc. and there is no news, no community discussion, no forum posts on anything before the official launch.

   I can talk about the TI-81 (the first graphing calculator by TI), the TI-83 Plus (its direct predecessor), but nothing on TI-84 Plus development, sorry.OmegaAOLtalk?18:40, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   could you give me an example of one? Looking over the sources, I can't seem to find anyOmegaAOLtalk?09:43, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   I'm fairly certain that the sources with titles like "Solution #####", where each # is a placeholder/example number, are customer service questions, but if I'm not mistaken, the responses are allowed to be cited if they're official/not made by other users (ie, developer responses), if that makes sense :) -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』04:01, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   @OpalYosutebito oh that? I don't think so, as far as I can tell that's TI's Knowledge Base numbering system. Texas Instruments does not host a customer support forum AFAIKOmegaAOLtalk?18:32, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Good to know! I'm currently working on moving some categories, and I'll look at the sources once more when I'm done :D -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』21:13, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Okay! :D by the way, do you mean categories like the sections on the article, or something else?OmegaAOLtalk?21:28, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   I'm moving categories such asRepublic of Venice engineers toEngineers from the Republic of Venice and then recategorizing the articles, if that makes sense -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』21:30, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Ohh, yup that makes sense. I was thinking it was something to do with here, haha..OmegaAOLtalk?21:31, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   In that case, I'll mark the sources section as passed -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』20:57, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Also, the source for the ViewScreen mentions something similar to a link port:The Presentation Link Adapter connects the student versions of the TI-84 Plus family to the ViewScreen panel using the calculator's USB port. -OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』21:07, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

   Ah, I didn't see that. It looks like there are special ViewScreen calculators with that extra port, but there is an also an adaptor that lets standard TI-84 Pluses use the screen... I'll add that piece of info in.OmegaAOLtalk?00:42, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
