→Software naming conventions: Let me think...
Hi, Evan. Would you like to help me come up with a [[naming convention]] for our [[computer software]] articles? I've written an article on restarting the [[Vista print spooler]], and I've moved [[Windows]] and [[Vista]]. What are your thoughts? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:17, 1 December 2009 (EST)

:Sure; I'll be thinking about it. Just from a quick scan, we've got some inconsistency: [[C programming language]] but [[Java]] and [[Python]]. (Hey, what about the snakes and island?) I'd lobby for one consistency: either "Name (type)" such as "Windows (operating system)" or "Name type" such as "Windows operating system". "Name" breaks down too fast against Java (island), Python (snake), and Windows (architectural). "Brand Name" breaks down against C and Python, which don't have a company behind them. I'll be thinking more later today.--[[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 10:25, 1 December 2009 (EST)
