Some important questions/issues regarding this stub

The article stub is currently written about the 'C#' programming language, but the article title is 'C' (perhaps because the # does not work in the article title and got stripped?); C# is actually a completely different (but derivative) programming language to C.

This leads on to a few important questions:

  1. This article entry should probably actually relate to the letter 'C' as most ordinary readers would relate it to the letter rather than the programming language. (See [1] for example.)
  2. Should this article be about C only, or C and all its derivative languages (i.e. C++, C#)? Wikipedia handles each within its own article (see [2], [3] and [4]). I proffer the current Wikipedia approach is the best approach.
  3. I also suggest the 'C' programming language article needs a disambiguation (like the Wikipedia page referenced above) to distinguish it from the letter C.


Please offer your opinions. If I hear nothing within a few days I will start making the changes I outlined above (including making this article a stub about the alphabetical letter 'C' and starting a new C Sharp stub). Thanks.
