[edit] Footnotes
Aren't footnotes broken? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blazar (talk • contribs).
- Depends on what you mean "broken". The article currently mixes footnotes and enumerated external links, so that could've confused you (external links have the square and arrow image whereas footnotes do not).
- Or maybe it was just that the article used an old footnote syntax that is not favored any more. (I converted to the newer <ref></ref> syntax now) -- intgr 18:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User list
I think the list of users is getting out of hand; the article probably doesn't need to mention more than five major users. The rest could either be moved to a stand-alone list, or deleted.
At first estimation, i think the projects that would be useful to mention in the article are Java, Mozilla, OpenSolaris, and Xen. Comments? --Piet Delport 22:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Keep the five aforementioned and throw away the rest, it's of little use to Wikipedia. -- intgr #%@! 23:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

- OK, done. I've backed each of them with citations to the relevant announcements/evaluations. --Piet Delport 02:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Absurdity
"It has been ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and most Unix-like systems." No it hasn't - it was written first on one of these systems, then ported to the others. The sentence should read something like "It was written on Linux, then ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like systems". AMackenzie (talk) 22:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- So fix it; Wikipedia is a wiki. -- intgr [talk] 23:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough! Was Mercurial, in fact, first written on Linux? AMackenzie (talk) 13:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Fixed! AMackenzie (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
