Conflict of interest

This material parallels chorded keyboard. I see no reason for separate articles. Chords may be different from shift states, but that distinction is more technical than substantial. The goal of a modern chorded keyboard is one handed typing.

Today, IP user 125.39.187.106 added info about Numpad-QWERTY that I removed. The addition had a link to http://jabobian.blog.com that lead to an article with today's date. User:XLinkBot removed material from QWERTY.

Following that, User:Jabobian appears, builds the One hand typing article and inserts unsourced material in chorded keyboard about Numpad-QWERTY.

Please note that Jabobian is the user name and name for the blog entry.

Consequently, I suspect the motivation behind the creation of this article is to avoid the earlier reverts and advertise the user's code. The effort runs afoul of WP:PROMO, WP:UNDUE, and WP:COI.

Missing information

How do you write an article about one handed typing without mentioning internet pornography?

Gender-neutral pronouns

I changed "he" to "s/he" and I changed "his" to "his/her" - my changes were undone by another user. Here is why I think my changes are important:

“Research has found that the use of masculine pronouns in a generic sense creates "male bias" by evoking a disproportionate number of male images and excluding thoughts of women in non-sex specific instances.”^[1]Alice Zed (talk) 21:36, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

^ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_neutrality_in_English#Pronouns

The prescriptive he/she is stilted. See also WP:MOS#Gender-neutral language about changing existing styles. Glrx (talk) 20:13, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Claimed inventor of mirrored keyboard

(First time editor, my apologies if I'm doing this wrong.)

The article currently claims the following in the section 'mirrored keyboard':

"This was first proposed by Randall Munroe on the xkcd-blog"

And gives a link to a 2007 source. Matias Corporation has been selling a mirrored, one handed keyboard for years. Edgar Matias himself wrote this paper on the concept in 1994:

I don't know if he invented the concept, but it certainly wasn't Munroe. —Muirium (talk) 22:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
