Knuth, Hopcroft, Lamport, Aho – all authors of CS textbooks, and all winners of the “Nobel Prize of computer science”. My third FL nom; something different this time. I’ve improved the lead, table accessibility, and added a bunch of references. - MPGuy2824 ( talk) 02:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

- Some comments:
- Images need alt text; as of time of writing, only the image of Turing himself has alt text.
- File:Kei younger.jpg is missing author information.
- Images are suitable for identifying their subjects, thereby adding encyclopedic value to the listicle.
- Licensing checks out across the board; all images are either PD or CC, with many having notes that permission for use was granted via VRT correspondence.

Dylan620: Thanks for the review. I've added alt text for all the images. Is the fact that the author info is missing for the Iverson photo a showstopper at FL? If so, I can remove that image. -

MPGuy2824: No problem. I don't know for certain if it's a showstopper at FL, but I will say that the last time I brought an image that lacked authorship information at an FLC (which ultimately passed), the nominator seemed to agree that it was an issue and swapped out the image. The uploader of the Iverson image stated that permission had been granted by Iverson's estate, but we don't know for certain if the photo was actually taken by someone representing the estate. Also, at the risk of comparing apples to oranges, I've just looked back through some unsuccessful FLCs and noticed that in a few of them, an issue was that some refs were lacking authorship information. So I'd say remove the photo out of an abundance of caution.

Dylan620: Removed the photo. There was one other photo of Iverson, but that too had the same issue. -

- @ MPGuy2824: Roger that; pleased to support. BTW, if you have any time or interest, I would greatly appreciate some feedback on a very old FLC. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 18:41, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Pseud 14
- major technical importance to computer science.[2] It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in computer science -- MOS:DUPLINK, unlink the second instance of computer science; perhaps worth switching it to in the field or in the field of study to avoid being repetitive.
- theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence[6] and a key contributor -- comma after artificial intelligence
- I would link Word War II, and Google on the first instance.
- That's all from me. Pseud 14 ( talk) 17:07, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments
- I think the image of Turing would look better in the infobox rather than floating below it
- "and a key contributor to the Allied cryptanalysis of the Enigma cipher during World War II." - no source against this. Is it covered by the reference in the middle of the sentence?
- Entries in the "rationale" column which just consist of a single sentence fragment (eg 1966) don't need a full stop.
- "He is also known as the author, with Wheeler and Gill," - any reason not to show their forenames? --
