| Inside a [namespace](../../../csharp/language-reference/keywords/namespace.md), the compiler only accepts classes, structures, unions, enumerations, interfaces, and delegates. This error is often generated by developers from a C/C++ background who forget that in C#, methods and variables must be declared and defined within a struct or class. For more information, see [General Structure of a C# Program](../../../csharp/programming-guide/inside-a-program/general-structure-of-a-csharp-program.md). | ||

A namespace can contain only other namespaces and type declarations
I would prefer the following wording:
Namespaces can contain child namespace and type declarations
??

@richlander then we need to define the term "child namespace". Moreover, docs rather use "nested namespace" than "child namespace"; I'm not sure if the "child namespace" is an "official" term (language spec uses "nested namespace").
What about:
A namespace can contain nested namespaces and type declarations
?? (though, "contain nested" is a duplication)
now.

According to the namespace article, namespace can contain another namespace and no mention of unions.
What is "unions" in
by the way?
