== Terminology: Method vs Message ==
In "Software Interfaces", there is mention of objects communicating with each other through methods. Is it not "messages" in standard OOP terminology? [[User:Viridium|Viridium]] ([[User talk:Viridium|talk]]) 17:15, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
== Ambiguity problem in the title ==
{{u|Tom94022}}, there's a problem with your removal of the extended hatnote - the rationale for both reverts just doesn't make sense; "user interface" is not merely a possibility equal to others. "Interface" is a term commonly used to refer to [[user interface]], and is therefore ambiguous with, but not equal to, the concept covered in this article; thus requiring explicit disambiguation. Per [[WP:HNS]], the hatnote should use the form that is clearer and easier for the reader. A user arriving to this article looking for user interface will not know that this concept is not covered here unless we explicitly say so.
On a very high level, "user interface" ''could'' be viewed as an instance of computer interface where one side of hardware is of the [[Wetware (brain)|wetware]] variety, but that's not a common view. Given the potential for confusion between the "machine-machine" (covered here) and "human-machine" (not covered here) interfaces, the hatnote requires at least expansion to clarify what the article is not about.
