broken link

in: Tucanos - The tucanos demo

Examples list - mostly spam?

Having a third of this article dedicated to examples is absurd. The list should be concise, to the point, non-spammy links to good examples of Canvas being implemented, not just a list of arcade games redone for the browser in Canvas. 209.190.211.3 16:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Rather than link to lots of smaller demos, would it not be better to link to a site repository which contains links to most of these demos and tutorials? Check out http://www.canvasdemos.com Andi553 (talk) 00:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Intellectual Property Issues

This section talks about an email from March 07. In April, there was an email from mjs@apple.com to the w3c public-html list that said:

"If the group is agreeable to these proposals, Apple, Mozilla and Opera will agree to arrange a non-exclusive copyright assignment to the W3 Consortium for HTML5 specifications."

I don't know the details of this debate, but perhaps the section should be updated to reflect this?

The page says: "This caused considerable discussion among web developers, as Apple is known for its history of patent-related litigation." That seems to be an inflamatory statement. Following the link shows only a single example of a patent-related litigation, and it involves Apple being sued by Creative. There isn't a single example of Apple engagin in legal action against anyone for patent violation, so saying that "Apple is known for its history of patent-related litigation", is at best unsubstantiated ArnoGourdol 18:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that's an excellent point. I've chopped out the offending text, and spliced it together with the concern over a lack of patent policy. (Which has been the real discussion in regards to Apple's email.) --Jbanes 18:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Example

I think the example code could be much simpler, along the lines of the Mozilla Canvas tutorials.

It's too long, and not focused on the features of Canvas itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samdutton (talk • contribs) 18:56, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Use of NoMoreLinks template

Look, this is simple. Reisio (talk · contribs) and I have been going back and forth about removing the NoMoreLinks template from the External links section of this page. I believe it should be there to dissuade people from adding more links, but Reisio feels that "few useless & redundant things in this world are _meant_ to be UNhelpful, but they remain useless & redudant" (this edit). Since I'd rather not go back and forth on this, I've requested a WP:3O. So to the person giving the opinion: should the NoMoreLinks template be included? — HelloAnnyong 20:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I'd say toss it. AFAICT, it's a largely un- and sub-standard template, and I would personally highly discourage its use. It's also pretty disruptive, and the same thing could be accomplished by just writing  That way, it's unobtrusive, non-threatening, and clear-cut. You don't even need the second sentence. ~ Amory (talk) 20:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, alright. I guess I haven't really seen it used much elsewhere. I assume that it was added at a time when this article was rife with crap external links, but it's not really that bad anymore. — HelloAnnyong 20:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't work, it bloats up the data, and it merely re-states Misplaced Pages policy & guidelines. There's simply no reason to use it anywhere. Nothing personal. ¦ Reisio (talk) 20:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
