[edit] How to help

• Write an article about a computer you know well. Have a look at wanted pages for ideas.
• Expand an existing article. Short articles are listed in Category:Stubs.
• Check facts. If you have the original manuals or magazines, please add dates and prices from them.

[edit] Wanted articles

• Commodore PET
• Atari 8-bit family
• Sinclair ZX81
• Amstrad CPC
• Commodore 128
• Acorn Electron
• MSX
• Zilog Z80

[edit] Style guide

1. Use the article name that the manufacturer used (Commodore 64, not C64 or Commodore C-64). Create a redirect for common short names.
2. Put the {{Infobox computer}} at the top of articles about a computer model.
3. Use British spelling for British computers and American spelling for American ones. Don't change other people's spelling just because it isn't yours. (See Talk:ZX Spectrum.)
4. Write in your own words. Do not copy text from Wikipedia, magazines or manuals.
5. Sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~).
