COBOL as an influence?

Looks like this was added back in 2007 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pascal_(programming_language)&diff=prev&oldid=167771005) and gone unquestioned since, but it seems to me very unlikely to be the case. Snori (talk) 17:34, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

From my memory, COBOL was only an influence in the sense of "make sure it is nothing like COBOL". Yes, my memory isn't a source, but the influence has no source. I removed it. --A D Monroe III (talk) 21:20, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Criticism section

This is way too long, with recent attempts to 'correct' it making things even worse. Is it even necessary? All programming languages have their fans and those that dislike them, their good and bad features, but they don’t have anything like this amount of criticism that I’ve seen. It should either be pared down dramatically or removed altogether.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 00:28, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

There was an entire page for C, but it was AfD'd into a merge, and all content lost. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 17:35, 4 June 2017 (UTC).
