==deleted paragraph about refactoring historically being avoided==
The paragraph about refactoring being historically avoided in general is wrong. It's long been recognized as the right thing to do but often only been put off for lack of resources and automated tools.
Line 49 ⟶ 47:
Would it be appropriate to add information about tools that support refactoring, in this page? (For example, Eclipse etc)

:[[Code_refactoring#Automated_code_refactoring]] now exists but is in need of citations. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 15:23, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
== Factorization example ==
Line 57:
An article on Refactoring with no reference to [[Code Smell]]s? Ideally it should right up there in the introductory para. No later than the source code section.

== Motivation section: debt vs payment ==
The metaphor of technical debt is introduced, and then refactoring is cited as a payment of technical debt.
Is such a metaphor really helping the article? Doesn't this just say that fixing poorly-organized or poorly-planned code is better than not fixing it? (It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.) :)
I'm not sure why that part is kept. [[User:TooManyFingers|TooManyFingers]] ([[User talk:TooManyFingers|talk]]) 21:08, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
:Fixing poorly-organized or poorly-planned code comes with a cost and with the risk of introducing new errors. In a given business environment leaving such code as it is may be entirely reasonable at a given time. – [[User:Tea2min|Tea2min]] ([[User talk:Tea2min|talk]]) 07:52, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
== Messy change in History section ==
In the History section, I just removed the redundant "Griswold's Ph.D. thesis, ..." sentence. It was a very messy edit, since the contents of the refs were embedded in it, and had to be shuffled to the next sentence. The diff (changes) is a mess, but the end results are just the removal of the pesky sentence. [[User:BMJ-pdx|BMJ-pdx]] ([[User talk:BMJ-pdx|talk]]) 08:39, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
