'''end removed text'''<br/>Is there a place for this text in the Ada-related articles? Perhaps in the Wikibook? Thanks, and all the best, --[[User:Jorge Stolfi|Jorge Stolfi]] ([[User talk:Jorge Stolfi|talk]]) 23:26, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 
== Unreliable source cited in Article ==
The source http://www.sldinfo.com/?p=325 is cited in the introduction as the source of the Former Secretary of the USAF blaming Ada for problems with many major military projects. The article claims that "the Defense Department specified in detail its own operating system, called ADA" and that it experienced problems "retain[ing] talent for ADA when careers were being made in DOS, Apple and LINUX." But Ada is not an OS; it is a programming language. Should such an uninformed source be considered reliable? [[User:ChrisPB|ChrisPB]] ([[User talk:ChrisPB|talk]]) 23:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
