This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 169.207.89.150 (talk) at 01:55, 30 October 2003 (Composition_(computer_science): This sentence s/b reverted.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Please watch this page for comments on articles which need peer review.

I object to this edit in Composition_(computer_science): [1] The article is on composition, not inheritance. The added statement better belongs on the inheritance page, which is presumably where it came from. There is a reason not to put the new sentence close to the 'filled diamond' graphic of the 'has-a' relationship.

To the Contributor: If you care to link to inheritance, please do so without conflating the concepts by inserting a completely different keyword from the topic of the page.

To the Group: After said sentence, the following paragraph on GC could be replaced with a statement about using composition, and other OO concepts instead of inheritance, to avoid potential cyclic graph issues for the poor software to cycle thru.

Since the individual writing styles are so different, not to mention thinking styles, perhaps something like the top-level physics page could serve as a template. Then all the important concepts can at least get stated, and those desiring detail can get all they want, without tons of collateral prose.

And if no one can agree on this stuff then it doesn't deserve to be called 'computer_science', but 'non-canonical_opinion' instead. 169.207.89.150 01:55, 30 Oct 2003 (UTC)
