Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Erroneous removal of relevant information.

Just now, I took a look through the recent edit list for Scratch (programming language). I noticed that you made an edit on February 2nd that removed the name "Scratch 0.1" from the infobox. I think this was a bad move.

I was the one who added that name into the infobox, and I did it for a good reason. I was the one who added the cited source that backs up the date of the development of the first prototype (the conference paper Scratch: A Sneak Preview). I would like you to visit that webpage and download the full-text PDF.

On page 6, in section "6. Project status and next steps," you will very clearly find the following text:

Implementation of the first prototype began in January of 2003, based on design discussions over the previous year. This prototype, Scratch 0.1, was tested in early October of 2003 by Harvard and MIT students taking a seminar course on the use of technology for learning in informal educational settings.

If "Scratch 0.1" was an unofficial name, as you suggested in your edit note, then it would not have shown up in this very official paper by the actual creators of Scratch.

"Scratch 0.1" is not an unofficial name, and I would appreciate it if you could undo your edit and add the name back to where I had put it in the infobox.

I would make this edit myself, but then others could attempt to argue with me faffing about with someone else's edit. I think it's only right that you should change it back yourself, so that anyone viewing the edit list will know that you messed up, and you corrected your own mistake.

Thanks for the info! I was completely unaware of this and was under the false impression that Scratch 0.1 was a name given by the community. I will edit the page to re-introduce the term where relevant. Theooolone (talk) 16:19, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks a bunch. I appreciate your understanding. Obscure2020 (talk) 16:58, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
