December 2015

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Python (programming language), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

There is no need for a citation because Wikipedia cannot be cited yet Hy's page (which I encourage you to look at next time please) lists Python as an influencer. By definition, that makes Hy an influencee. Should I remove Python from Hy's page instead?Static isn't. (talk) 01:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It still needs a cite on the Python page. You can't depend on Wikipedia as a cite for itself. It really should be cited on both pages, so, yes, if you're unable to provide a cite for it on Hy, it should be removed there, too. TJRC (talk) 01:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Python (programming language), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 17:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lisp (programming language), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scala. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

January 2016

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Standard ML may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Your update to Perl

In your update to Perl you removed a tag that I had put in.

When making such changes, please be careful to preserve existing edits.

I can't find any reference that Perl influenced CoffeeScript, so a "citation needed" is the first step to removing such a reference. So it's important to not remove such a tag.

Thank you

"Influenced by"

I see you are adding a lot of languages, not picking on any in particular; you might be right about Oxygen and e.g. this edit. I see you do not provide/have sources. I've been careful to NOT add (e.g. at Julia (programming language)), unless I have documentation from the designers/primary source-language manual etc., not just a feeling that I believe is true. Doing so is WP:OR or at least close too. comp.arch (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your change at [1] for this same reason. Please cite any 'influenced' or 'influenced by languages. It's not enough that you see some similarity - there needs to be a good ref for it.
