reason for removing the logo - discussion is open for debate/comments

Java is a trademark of Sun Microsystems. Like all trademarks, "Java" is an adjective; when referring to Java technology, use a generic term after the word "Java". Correct: "program written in the Java language runs on the Java platform." Wrong: "*program written in Java runs on Java."

=== JDK versions ===
How do the JDK version below relate to the so called "Java 2 platform"?
* JDK 1.0, 1995
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
* JDK 1.4, 2002
* JDK 2.0, 2003
 
----
My understanding is that everything 1.2 and beyond is the "Java 2 Platform", but I can't find proof. Here's the Java 2 page: [http://java.sun.com/j2se/]
----
I object to the phrase "actually the entities containing data" in the section on Object Orientation. It's meaningless and unhelpful. However, I have already deleted it once, and the author re-inserted it. I don't hate it enough to delete it again, so I'll leave it to the wise Wikipedia editors.
 
===Language facilities===
----
 
'' "It contains language facilities and libraries for networking (more or less)." '' - What "language facilities" are being referred to, here?
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
 
Java was not designed with the goal to "more or less" have facilities for networking, etc. If you are not satisfied with Java's attainment of those goals, an unbiased discussion of how and why these goals are incompletely attained should follow their detailed description.

=== Link bezerker ===
Someone has gone completely bezerk with links:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Java_programming_language&diff=1874041&oldid=1866496]. Seriously, do we need links for "reputation", "speed", and "thing"?
Line 72 ⟶ 74:
:Maybe we need to get this page protected until the revert is done and subsequent revisions incorporated. But its a pity someone's labour will go a waste. [[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:00, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Reverting and merging of later revisions has been done. (See [[Wikipedia:Make_only_links_relevant_to_the_context]] for reference). [[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:30, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

=== Java logo ===
Should we be displaying the Java logo here without permission. Sun's logo website http://logos.sun.com says the terms are very strict for the use of its logos. [[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:10, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 
I would say no — the logo should be removed. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 01:15, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
 
After reading the usage agreement for the Java logos, I don't believe Wikipedia can use the Java logo on its site unless approved by Sun MicroSystems. I am therefore going to remove the logo from the article.
