I've been watching that strange article Survival techniques for a while, unsure of what direction it's going to go. Your addition looks pretty good. Hope you stick around.

Looking back, something went wrong with my revert; it was supposed to revert some poor edits, and ended up reverting the decent ones (though I have some reservations about some of the copyediting). I've corrected my mistake. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:35, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

C# vs. C♯
Rod, I am painfully aware of the differences regarding the naming of C Sharp; I actually ended up creating the "Language name" section as a result. I am embarrassed to admit I've been a part of the "edit war", however I have a strong feeling about this issue, as "lame" as it may be. I've done some more digging on the issue and I must relent on it, with protest. I'll post over in the discussion page on exactly why and probably, but it does appear that ECMA (and eventually ISO/IEC) would be the ultimate authority.
Anyway, for some background of my involvement in this, this was my first go at mucking with the title. I tried to please as many people as possible, only having the sharp symbol in the {{wrongtitle}} template. As well, here's where I ended up creating the "Language name" section.
Also, my comments in the talk page:
- After I added the new section
- Some further explanation on the section as well as some cites for the name, the sharp symbol, etc.
P.S. you'll want to send comments and messages to users in their talk page, not their user page, as you did here. I didn't notice your comment until I saw the C# naming fray. If you had placed the comment on my talk page, I would have noticed the system message that appears and been able to respond right away.
- Instead of what we have in the Language name section now, would you mind responding to that e-mail and request that we be allowed to use their response as MS' official statement on the subject? Either that, or request that they change their FAQ if it is indeed "inaccurate" as you put it? (CC'd from the C sharp talk page) - Chris 20:15, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Good suggestion, Chris. I'll ask them. The Rod 03:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Oblique projection
That was a good job on the article, it is much improved now. I've removed the insufficient context tag. GregorB 18:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
