Talk:Action! (programming language)

Fair use rationale for Image:Actionscr.png
Image:Actionscr.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm not sure how best to work it in, but this is an excellent example of Action! in action :) http://www.cyberroach.com/analog/an20/bounce_action.htm

This is from old version:
 * This allows great speed, but limits the amount of code that may be compiled.

All compilers have limits of code. I suggest delete this. Tdc6502 (talk) 05:23, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Done (5 years later). Good call. Dgpop (talk) 14:27, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

This section was too vague to include. It essentially read "some hobbyists still use it," which is true of most retrocomputing tech. If there are significant, recent projects using Action!, then that may make a difference. Dgpop (talk) 14:27, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
