:Is Java on Android supplied/supported by Oracle? No! Oracle actually ''sued'' over that. I am sure it is in the interests of the readers to know that Java does not run on that operating system without additional (and controversial) third-party (Google Dalvik) software. See how that argument can be used against Java as well?. I ask just that you use the same standard and don't use loaded phrases ("but" is a loaded word implying a reservation - ''your'' personal reservation, not a reservation that should be put forward in the voice of WP). Please also keep in mind that these are the ''programming languages'' and '''not''' the ''platforms'' (Java and .NET). The "platform support" section is already a stretch in that regard, but if it has to mean anything in an article about the ''programming languages'' it must be that you can use the language to code for the platform. That's why Android has a "yes". Just use the same standard for C#. If you believe that the way through which a platform is supported is important then put it in a note - like <nowiki>{{yes}}<ref>through Mono</ref> and {{yes}}<ref>through Dalvik</ref></nowiki> - or something to that effect (with links). That way WP does not make judgement calls but allows the reader to come to his/her own conclusions. [[User:Useerup|Useerup]] ([[User talk:Useerup|talk]]) 11:57, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
::Then change the column value for Android support on Java. I don't oppose doing so whatsoever, I just am not aware of Java support on Android. You seem to assume that I am pro-Java and am attempting to attack C#, but I actually prefer to use C# over Java, so your argument is unfounded. If the word "but" bothers you then "using" may be used, thus it may read: "Yes, using third-party software". You seem to be offended at the fact that these languages require third-party software to run on other platforms, but this information is useful to the reader and is very relevant to the topic of platform support.
