[edit] Extension method

First of all, let me extend you a hearty welcome here. And now starts the process of leaving a sour taste in your experience. :-P

This is not a how-to guide. As such, we do not provide a step-by-step guide how to fall into or avert a problem. Sure we provide code examples, but only to demonstrate syntax etc. Full source code is rarely used. As such, the code is best not kept, especially when it is easily summarized by saying that a member method pwns an extension method if they have the same name. I am not saying the problem should be buried but that the way you are presenting is not suitable for an encyclopedia.

Such detailed text-bookish procedure is best suited for WikiBooks. If you want, you can write an entire book there on extension methods detailing and providing code samples for each an every aspect or just the shadowing problem. When that is done, that article can be (and will be) linked to from here. --soum ^talk 02:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

So then...why have a separate article for extension methods at all? Why not just roll it into "C# 3.0 new features"? --Kyralessa (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

If it does not offer anything more that the C# 3.0 features section, go ahead and propose the merge (and if you do so, Welcome to the club of deletionists :) ). Anyways, you mentioned about undiscussed removal being against wiki-spirit. So, is undiscussed insertion in the face of objection. We have the WP:3RR rule here, that prohibits more that three reversals (either deletion or insertion) in 24 hours but most of us adopt a stricter policy (for me the limit is twice per issue: first with explanation in edit summary, second in talk pages and thenafter only discussion). My advice to you would be to follow a similar policy (1RR or 2RR) as I felt you would have gone on with revert warring and such behavior would have surely earned you a few blocks. Anyways, have a happy stay here. --soum ^talk 13:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
