Correct logo
[edit]Based on discussion of the purple logo file over at Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C_Sharp_logo.svg), there's been a small edit war over the logo used here. The discussion over there indicated that the purple logo is not used in any official documentation, but that a green wordmark (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C_Sharp_wordmark.svg) is (for example, at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/). Because the discussion over there began to divulge into whether or not the logo should be used here, I figured I'd start this off by giving support for changing the logo to the green wordmark here.

- Putting a logo in an infobox makes it seem like it's some sort of official thing. So unless someone can find an example of Microsoft actually using this purple logo, I agree that we should keep the green wordmark. ―JochemvanHees (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
'Scope' specification missing from summary box
[edit]The article on SmallTalk lists a 'Scope' approach right under the 'Typing Discipline' but the C# article lacks this. Could it be added for consistency? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.53.125.69 (talk) 01:24, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Undiscussed move
[edit]Not sure why anyone would move this page without discussion given the three prior failed RM's, but here we are. I am emphatically against a hyphen for this article. —Locke Cole • t • c 22:28, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- I've reverted the move. @Mast303: if you want the article's name changed then please follow the instructions at WP:RMCM and open a move discussion at this talk page. SkyWarrior 22:43, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- @SkyWarrior It looks like the archives may have gone on an unfortunate ride though, as they appear to be at the C-Sharp talk subpages. —Locke Cole • t • c 22:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm fixing that right now. SkyWarrior 22:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Locke Cole: Should be fixed now; I just manually moved the talk pages back. Let me know if I missed anything. SkyWarrior 22:48, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks =) will do! —Locke Cole • t • c 22:50, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

C Sharp (programming language) → C-Sharp (programming language) – Consistency; other similar names (e.g. F-sharp major) are hyphenated. Mast303 (talk) 01:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- This is a weird one because technical restrictions prevent it from being located at C#, so we can't rely on sources. O.N.R. (talk) 04:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, it is only at this page because the MediaWiki software (and web standards in general) aren't agreeable to using an actual # symbol in an article title. Adding a hyphen would make the title even more wrong than it already is. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:27, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. F-sharp major is a relatively common alternate spelling of the key, but C# is the only common spelling of the programming language. If we cannot use it due to technical restrictions, then we should use a minimally simplified version of it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:29, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. I'm not sure how musical names are more than superficially similar Erinius (talk) 23:37, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose F-sharp major is a musical key, but this article is about a programming language. Since they are of different subjects, I don’t think the reason to move this article is reasonable Ilovejames5🚂:) 05:38, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I personally think you all confused the dash as a hyphen Ilovejames5🚂:) 05:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. I have occasionally seen it as "C-Sharp" but both "C Sharp" and "CSharp" are, I believe, more commonly used than "C-Sharp" for when "C#" can't be used for whatever reason. Skynxnex (talk) 19:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Broken reference
[edit]Reference [3], for the current preview version, is broken. I don't really know the specifics of how this works, but I think it's because the wikidata page is missing a title and retrieved date for the reference. The wikidata page is semi-protected so I don't think I can fix that, but hopefully this'll grab the attention of someone who can. Maybeitsmir (talk) 22:08, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Fixed. I think the problem was there was still an entry for the preview version of 11.0, as well as the stable version of 11.0 after it, which must have confused something. I got rid of the preview version of 11.0 and it was automatically removed from the infobox, which I believe is correct because I don't think a preview version of C# is out at this time. –CWenger (^ • @) 22:43, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Reference Kreft / Langer
[edit]A moment ago I updated some items in the list of references. When in the course of this I read the article by Kreft / Langer "After Java and C# - what is next" (reference 28), I started to wonder: Should we really mention the point of view of these two authors "Java and C# are so similar"? After all, does the verdict of Kreft / Langer still have any relevance if a few lines before they state that Fortran and COBOL are also "very similar languages"? What do you think? FePo2 (talk) 08:35, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- I would leave it. Not many people would argue that Java and C# are not similar. Perhaps we could find a better reference, but this one is fine for now. –CWenger (^ • @) 15:39, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- >Not many people would argue that Java and C# are not similar.
- That surely is true. However ...
- >Perhaps we could find a better reference
- ...the article already quotes two well-respected persons (Gosling, Joy) who point out this similarity. So one could consider a third reference as being at least redundant. But even more regrettable is that Kreft / Langer seem to me to be a reference of questionable quality, since their statement on Fortran vs. COBOL disqualifies them, to some extent, as objective reviewers. Anyone reading the C# article as it is now is missing the (in my opinion) not unimportant information that Kreft / Langer have a somewhat, let's say, "peculiar" definition of "similar programming languages".
- If someone tells me that red and blue are similar colors, I might tolerate this view, however I would henceforth not consult him or her as a referee on the subject of similarity of colors. FePo2 (talk) 13:51, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- It looks like no one but the two of us have an opinion on the subject. I will delete this reference for the sake of a test, at the risk that there will be an outcry. 🙂 FePo2 (talk) 08:16, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
C# 12 is out
[edit]https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-csharp-12/
couldnt find a way to edit the "stable version" info box :) 1mpossible c (talk) 12:10, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Fixed. Thanks. –CWenger (^ • @) 15:40, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
