Line 168:
:I think the original editor wanted to assert that Go! was unknown before the Go naming controversy (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Go!_(programming_language)&diff=326893055&oldid=326511104]), which is quite true. However the edit has been changed so many times since then that it only remains some rather odd statement about Go! being "little known". If there are no objections I'd suggest restoring the original edit, as I think it's notable fact about the language.

:If Go was a little known language prior to the naming dispute, then it may be fine to quote the fact as long as sufficient citations are provided - maybe a satisfying way to do this would then be to open a 'naming dispute section' and indicate, in that section, that Go! was little known prior to the naming dispute. However please consider - at the moment I believe that both Go and Go! are receiving a transient, inordinate amount of exposure. Would it then be a valuable contribution to encyclopedic knowledge to open the Go article with a similar mention that Go is a little known (or even, unknown, language? It appears to me that Go! is a special purpose language that is reasonably known by related specialists. Besides, I have no remembrance of reading any other Wikipedia article about a programming language that included a statement about whether that language is little or well known. I would finally suggest that Go! be treated in no special way and the mention not be restored. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/114.243.188.106|114.243.188.106]] ([[User talk:114.243.188.106|talk]]) 13:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
