ZX Spectrum Basic seems to be considered a separate language from BASIC. As such, it should be placed in alphabetical order just like Visual Basic. If you want it to be included under BASIC headers, propose that it be considered a BASIC implementation and not a separate language, and then use {{tmpl|works with}} to separate the examples under <nowiki>=={{header|BASIC}}==</nowiki>. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 18:39, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 
== Signature form ==
 
Hey Mark. I love the kind of work and directions you're pushing content on RC; it's good to see growth and exploration of areas we haven't touched on much. However, I'd like to ask you to change two things about how you use the Talk pages.
 
First, When you reply to someone, you'll often see a number of ":" preceding their paragraphs. That's indentation to emulate comment threading/nesting. If the person you're replying to has two ":" in front of their paragraph, please leave three in front of your paragraphs. If they have one, please leave two. If they have, none, please leave one. That helps observers like me cleanly keep track of who's replying to whom.
 
Second, when you reply, sign your last paragraph with <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>. This will be replaced by the wiki engine with a signature for you, including a timestamp. This helps observers keep track of who said what (without having to watch the history of the page), and when replies occurred. You can customize that signature somewhat by filling in the "real name" field under [[Special:Preferences]].
 
Again, I like how things are working out, but I've just got those two things to bring up... --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
