I was looking through wikipedia, and was curious to see what they had for PLCs and was very disappointed with the article.

I made a few minor edits, deleted some complete BS, but it still needs a lot of work. Elegant writing isnt my strong suite, so I figured I would put the word out here for anybody interested.

If you dont already know, wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that absolutely anybody can edit online.

Don't get me wrong, there is some good info in the article, I just thought it could be written a bit better.
