Extreme/unusual dialect of Smalltalk -?

[edit]

I removed the 'vague' tag after I edited, but the 'unusual dialect of Smalltalk' phrase which is there now suggests vagueness also. What was so unusual or extreme about this dialect? If we can put info in about this then I think we can avoid the 'vague' tag, otherwise it needs to be re-inserted. Suggestions welcome.

"Self was a dialect of Smalltalk"

[edit]

This article claims that Self "was a dialect of Smalltalk". Why is Self no longer considered to be a dialect of Smalltalk? Jarble (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Self (programming language). Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

[edit]
There are eleven entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • WP:ELMIN: Minimize the number of links. -- Otr500 (talk) 06:36, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
