 * There's about a 30% chance I forget to sign any given comment. Been awhile since I've been active on wiki, so I don't do the things I used to automatically anymore.  Thanks for the heads up. Throwaway85 (talk) 07:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Y_(programming_language)
Hi! I was taking a look at Articles_for_deletion/Y_(programming_language). Do you have copies of all of these papers? According to WP:N one criterion is ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material."

So if you can establish that those papers have "significant coverage" of Y the programming language they can count, even if Y isn't the main subject of the paper. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Characterization as Progressive in lede
Whilst I can easily understand your new section in the Talk page about Hans Litten, I don't understand the new section's heading at all. What is the meaning of "in lede"? The only thing I can think of is: "Characterization as Progressive in Lederhosen"? I doubt that you meant to say that, so can you help me to understand what you are saying?

 * the lede is the opening paragraph of the article, before any of the actual sections. It's just a pretentious way of saying, "introduction", but it's the standard usage on en.wp as far as I'm aware. My question was regarding Litten's characterization as a Progressive in the article's introduction. Throwaway85 (talk) 13:29, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks, I've not heard of that before! Lede is a Wikipedia page that describes it. Imho it's quite bizarre to spell it that way! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anameisbutaname (talk • contribs) 14:42, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
