: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.

::Yes, I definitely believe that articles about computer languages should have information about how and by whom they are used. For example, see the [[C (programming language)]] introduction. As you suggested, I checked out the Google Go article, and there's no mention of the project's status, so I've added a sentence about that to the intro. --[[User:Jonovision|Jonovision]] ([[User talk:Jonovision|talk]]) 16:33, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
