Can someone familiar with gedit add it to Comparison of text editors??? I would, but I'm not knowledgeable enough with it to know those features.

[edit] Extentions

When programming your own extensions there are variables that can be called related to the file like $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_PATH. Could we produce a table of all of them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.213.3.6 (talk) 02:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advertisement??

OK, someone complained about the article written as an advertisement. I'm willing to rewrite the article a little, since I'll make some evaluation about rewriting the s/w gedit itself. But an {{Advert}} complaint should usually be matched by an explanation what's wrong on this talk page. So, now I'm asking: insert any specific complaints here, please!

A fast read-thru gives the impression of this article simply being a very neutral, somewhat stubby description on what gedit can do, and else no evaluation for or against. I think the {{Advert}} tag should be replaced with {{stub}} or some such; it's as neutral as the color of granite. Said: Rursus ☻ 14:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I just went over the article and basically fixed all the complaints I had. The main one was that, as I suspected, there were a couple of places where material was quoted without a citation. Fortunately, the major instance of this was from a GFDL page, so it isn't a problem. Now, if I can just work on remembering to be bold the first time I edit a page... « Aaron Rotenberg « Talk « 18:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Very well! I use to appreciate be bold from anyone, but sometimes such as yesterday, I was some little too bold regarding the half life of Dubnium, so I had to remake some 3 times, because I found more and more sources telling me new halflifes ;-). I'm still not exactly sure if my edits were correct, or just a backwards update. Said: Rursus ☻ 19:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
