Hi, I started this page. It contains just the basic facts about what the differences are between Borland Delphi and the original language as proposed by Niklaus Wirth.

Comments

The article needs work. The main thing is that sections shouldn't be a "question and answer". Bubba73 (talk), 22:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling error 'Comparision' in the article title - I would have changed it if I knew how to. Chris Burrows (talk) 02:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it by moving the article. Bubba73 (talk), 02:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Get rid of the second person use. Bubba73 (talk), 02:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be less instructional, particularly the sections about making a program compatible with different dialects. I.e, Don't say " you should do ...", but tell what should be done or has to be done. (Third person passive voice). Bubba73 (talk), 04:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How similar are ISO 7185 and Niklaus Wirth's original specification? Are they essentially the same? Bubba73 (talk), 02:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eliminate first person too : "I have seen...". Bubba73 (talk), 21:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In some cases the article needs to say which is which. i.e., "The functions "pack" and "unpack" are not implemented." - they are not implemented in Delphi. Bubba73 (talk), 02:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible sections

First, I do not like the style of the three "is it bossible" sections - they shouldn't be question and answer. Secondly, I have concerns as to whether or not they belong in an article comparing the two versions of Pascal. Bubba73 (talk), 01:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
