A quick "comment" about the recently reverted contents |

Line 19:
I have quite a lot to catch up on the discussion we began on this (BTW, did it end? I see that editing is in progress) but really the point that comments are not part of the source code is ridiculous (the assertion that comments "are ignored" is close to meaningless too if one has a minimal idea of how a parser works, but that's what one usually gets when trying to explain things in a (over-)"simplified" way). Don't be offended, but could I ask those who are not programmers to refrain from adding to this article? —[[User:Gennaro Prota|<span style="color: #000080; font-weight: bold">Gennaro Prota</span>]][[User talk:Gennaro Prota|<sup style="color: #006400">•Talk</sup>]] 11:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
:Hi Gennaro Prota: 1) can you indicate where you mean (in the article) that indicates "comments are not part of the source code"? I can fix the relevant section, but I'm not sure which specific part you mean; 2) The phrasing "comments are ignored" is used quite commonly in programmer reference books (at least in English, see e.g.,<ref name="CmmtAreIgnored">{{cite book
| last = Geroimenko
| first = Vladimir
| title = Dictionary of Xml Technologies and the Semantic Web By Vladimir Geroimenko
| publisher = Computer Bks / Languages/ Programming
| year = 2004
| id = ISBN 1852337680
}}</ref>) are you saying this phrasing is always bad, or just misused in the article? If it is the latter can you point out where so we can fix it?; 3) I am not sure how a person's "job title" applies to contributions on Wikipedia, especially since all editors regardless of background must satisfy [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]. Is there a specific element of the article you were addressing with the "non-programmer" remark?
