Talk:Universal Product Code/Archives/2015

External links

I removed all but one from the section after looking at each website, following WP:EL rather strictly. I didn't realize there had been some discussion above. I looked for a DMOZ link, but couldn't find one relevant enough. --Ronz (talk) 20:20, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

I reverted. gs1 is authority. i don't think we need lots of upc/ean sites (and there are plenty) but readers might be interested to do it. iirc, that was one point of earlier discussion. Glrx (talk) 12:49, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

I reverted per WP:ELBURDEN. I expect we can compromise on some, perhaps all, but let's look at them: --Ronz (talk) 16:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• 25th Anniversary Review of U.P.C. Impact (pdf download) (1997)

  I wasn't able to find an working link to this, expecting it is in their archives somewhere. Maybe someone else will have better luck. --Ronz (talk) 16:23, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• EAN MediaWiki extension – A MediaWiki extension, visualizing UPC-A/EAN-13/EAN-8/Code39/Codabar barcodes by specifying only the numbers in the wiki-text

  Remove. Visualization tool. Off topic. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• George J. Laurer's personal web site – Extensive info from the inventor of the UPC barcode

  Remove. Too much is off topic. Maybe there is a specific subpage worth linking? --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• Global Universal Product Code Database from GS1

  Remove. Code database. Off topic. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• History of Identification Codes

  Seems fine, though should be redundant if article were improved. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• ISO/IEC 15420 – International standard specifying UPC-A, UPC-E, and EAN codes fully

  Requires payment for access. Inappropriate. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• Press release about 35th Anniversary of (UPC) Bar Code (June 3, 2009)

  Dead link. Redirects to their press release page. Is it still there? --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• UPC/EAN Check Digit Calculator

  Remove. Tool. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• UPC-Search.org – A free online UPC database with 5.6 million entries

  Remove. Another database. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
