Aren't footnotes broken? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blazar ( talk • contribs).
I think the list of users is getting out of hand; the article probably doesn't need to mention more than five major users. The rest could either be moved to a stand-alone list, or deleted.
At first estimation, i think the projects that would be useful to mention in the article are Java, Mozilla, OpenSolaris, and Xen. Comments? -- Piet Delport 22:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't believe Pidgin is using Mercurial - current development uses Monotone. —Preceding

"It has been ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and most Unix-like systems." No it hasn't - it was written first on one of these systems, then ported to the others. The sentence should read something like "It was written on Linux, then ported to Windows, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like systems". AMackenzie ( talk) 22:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Fixed! AMackenzie ( talk) 17:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
While Git is the primary DRCS for the Linux Kernel, Mercurial repositories are also kept in sync. See this repository , or btrfs development. It might be worth mentioning in this article. Tinkertim ( talk) 15:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
"History" section would be more appropriately called "git success story" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Janislaw ( talk • contribs) 09:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
The distinction between major projects and others seems rather arbitrary and a rather unnecessary potential source of conflict - ie the perceived notability of Netbeans ("others") or Xen ("major") depends on whether you're asking a Java developer or virtualization expert. Wouldn't it be more logical to simply have a straight list going in order of a more objective metric of "notability", ie lines of code, numbers of users, number of active contributers, number of commits, years of active development, or something like that?

Thoughts on adding Joel Spolsky's tutorial? Emurphy42 ( talk) 12:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
It seems like the mercurial command syntax is much like that of git (albeit simpler). Should that be in the article? Mr. Man ( talk) 02:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
They both resemble Monotone's interface. Why Git should be mentioned? 91.185.59.181 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC).
It says it was written after the free version of Bitkeeper was withdrawn, but it doesn't say if it was modeled on or inspired by Bitkeeper. The article should say more about the prior systems that influenced this system. (The Git article has a good section on this.) I would write it myself, but I don't know enough. (I've never used either BitKeeper, Git, or Mercurial.) — MiguelMunoz ( talk) 20:39, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
http://mercurial.selenic.com/ is timing out, and this post from Dec 11 by Eric S. Raymond intimates something's happened to the Mercurial project. Any information? - David Gerard ( talk) 12:08, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
