Q: The 'Hello World' example is wrong. When I tried to correct it, my edit was reverted.
A: The example code is correct; it compiles and runs on an ISO-compatible system. More importantly, it is cited to "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup, which is agreed to be a reliable source on the subject. Any uncited alteration constitutes original research and/or synthesis, which are violations of Wikipedia's policy on verifiability.
C++ was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Rick mascitti is a link to a redirect to the page C++ (recursive link :)) I would remove the link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.221.43 (talk) 14:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
That would be fine, please go ahead with unlinking. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 14:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Relation of the language with evolution theory as a model[edit]
For learning purpuses much more conveniently to watch to C++ classes/templates/polymorphism/inheritance as to a model (approximation) of the various species of living organisms. RippleSax (talk) 21:44, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Could we please have more criticism of C++'s many glaring issues. I feel that there's not enough criticism in general, and consider that at least 50% of the page should be devoted to it. Oecology (talk) 09:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
That's a recurring topic on this talk page. See for example
For what it's worth, there is a page Criticism of C++ devoted to that topic. – Tea2min (talk) 08:58, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Most of these criticism, and also those featured are basically POINTLESS. For example one criticism is that C++ is not reflective, but you CAN make your program reflective (with less than 100 lines of code, note) Criticizing the "lack of a library" is also pointless since new C++ libraries come out ALL THE TIME. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.69.199.255 (talk) 07:56, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
