Talk:Lingo (programming language)
Why is it that the first thing this page informs us is that Lingo's inventor, John H Thompson, is an Afro-American? This sounds incredibly patronising. If John H Thompson wishes to discuss his background in his own personal wikipedia entry, that is his choice.

I agree. I've taken it off. If anyone wishes to put it back on could you please explain why here.
I've updated the Lingo page with details of other obscure versions of Lingo.
The bulk of this should be moved to a new article "Macromedia Lingo" and a disambiguation page should be set up for the different languages. Some of the other languages e.g. (Lindo Systems) are not as "obscure" as the Macromedia fanboys would have us believe.
Why is referring to someone's Afro-American origin thought to be patronising? If John H. Thompson happened to be English, or Scottish, or Welsh, or Irish, there would be no objection to stating this!
