Hi, I think you left a comment ''the above will erroneously return:...'' on a PLI example. Could you change this to use the template incorrect so that PLI users are flagged that the example needs attention. Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I didn't know the proper methodology to be used. So I thought that putting a comment in the ~~"output"~~ would get someone's attention and fix the proglem. I have previously removed the offending comment, leaving the original problem intact, and as far as I ~~remember~~, the ~~error~~ is still there. To make it worse, I've already forgotten which entry it was, and looking back at it all, I regret trying to address the issue. There are so many such errors that I came across a few weeks ago, I wish the process would be more forgiving and above all, much easier to implement without the headaches.

I confess I didn't know the proper methodology to be used (this was my very first time on Rosetta Code). The fallout from that excursion was not what I expect at all, not exactly a pleasent experience. It would've been nice to actually include the righteous text so I could hit the ground running and re-enter the correct incorrect template. I had thought that putting a comment near the code would get someone's attention and fix the proglem. My bad. I was trying to figure out how to contact the author of the code, but I didn't have the skills at that time. I have previously removed the offending comment, leaving the original problem intact, and as far as I know, the errors are still there. To make it worse, I've already forgotten which entry it was, and looking back at it all, I regret trying to address the issue (error). There are so many such errors that I came across a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I didn't mung up more erroneous pages. I'm wondering at this point if erroneous pages are less erroneous with erroneous corrections? I wish the process would be more forgiving and above all, much easier to implement without the headaches. If I ever get the time, I may revisit some pages, but I rarely look at other people's code anymore, except for clarification of the specifications of the task to be solved. What is the protocol about these talk pages? Do they hang around forever, or am I supposed to delete (edit) them later when they lose their relevance?
