This article has a section on 'editions' (SE, ME, etc). But nothing on the differences between versions. Java 1.7 (and 1.8, though not yet finalized) is in some ways quite a different languages from 1.0. Does anyone think there ought to be a 'Versions' section with ''brief'' notes on the main changes (or perhaps just the language changes) in each version? These could include links to information on the relevant topic elsewhere on WP.

== Team-B-Vital Improvement Drive ==

Hello all!

This article has been chosen as this fortnight's effort for [[WP:Discord]]'s [[Wikipedia:Discord/Team-B-Vital|#team-b-vital channel]], a collaborative effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to [[WP:Articles for Improvement]]. This effort will run for up to a fortnight, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.

Thank you! [[User:Remagoxer|'''<span style="color: #0a826b;">Rema</span><span style="color: #c91f0c;">goxer</span>''']] [[User talk:Remagoxer|^(talk)]] 00:10, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

== Where do I bill for my time? ==

Line 77 ⟶ 69:

:: I disagree. I'd totally love to have every single word linked to something. Your example proves nothing to me. (Of course I have link underlining turned off in my personal preferences.) I won't debate you, per the current rules you are absolutely right, and gave the Phoneposter a civil and decent answer. But more often than not the rule of one-link-only really gets on my nerves as well. In long articles, please consider linking important jargon a bit more often, for the benefit of the people who are only interested in researching a specific paragraph, or particularly in the captions of images. Whenever you feel a section of an article should be able to stand on its own. That's how you provide the maximum benefit to the readers. The argument of "you can always just search it" kinda defeats the purpose of having Hyperlinks at all. --[[User:BjKa|BjKa]] ([[User talk:BjKa|talk]]) 11:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

== NPOV? ==

While reading the [[Java_(programming_language)#History|History]] section, this specific line caught my eye.

{{Blockquote

| text=Oracle has described itself as the steward of Java technology with a relentless commitment to fostering a community of participation and transparency. <b>This did not prevent Oracle from filing a lawsuit against Google shortly after that for using Java inside the [[Android SDK]] (see the ''[[Java (programming language)#Android|Android]]'' section)</b>.

}}

To me, this feels like it breaks [[WP:NPOV]]. It could be reworded to be more neutral, because it currently reads like a direct attack on Oracle and their behavior towards the community. [[User:Saghetti|Saghetti]] ([[User talk:Saghetti|talk]]) 11:41, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
