I suggest, if I may, adding something like "High bit omitted" to the representations column title in the crc table. I googled into the table without reading the entire article and missed that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.118.76.130 (talk) 06:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Hallo Regregex. Please can you describe some more of the diagram that you would like to have made for Computation of CRC? Cuddlyable3 (talk) 10:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Hallo again. Did you really see and fix moire on the Fibonacci LFSR diagram? It really IS 351 not 350 pixels wide. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 13:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but being only 1 pixel out it's a giant, subtle moiré. I saw the sides were sharp but the middle was blurred. It's more noticeable on LCD screens. -- Regregex (talk) 10:10, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- At offset 6h: in the header of LFSR-F16.gif the word 5F 01 i.e. 15Fh states that the width is 351 [1]. It happens that this diagram started life as LFSR-F16.bmp in which it is easy to count the pixels (because no compression) and was later converted to a .gif (lossless compression) for Wikipedia using The Gimp. (A .png was also possible but .gif was the only format for the animated diagram.) -- Cuddlyable3 (talk) 19:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

- I'm not disputing that the image file Image:LFSR-F16.gif is 351 px wide. I haven't changed it in any way. I only edited the image tag in the article from 350 px to 351 px so that its width matched the width of the image. Prior to that the server was scaling the image and displaying 350px-LFSR-F16.gif (URI is from the HTML page source of the previous revision.) The blurring is a permanent feature of that thumbnail. If I hadn't looked at the source .gif I would have found out it was 351 px wide by trying 349 px and finding the moiré got worse. HTH. -- Regregex (talk) 23:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I have put 2 animations at Computation of CRC. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 14:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] London Meetup - Sunday May 11th
We're hoping to have regular meetups for wikipedia enthusiasts in London. The next one is on May 11th Wikipedia:Meetup/London 9. Sunday lunch in Holborn. Come along! -- Harry Wood (talk) 15:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
