[edit] IE

Hi. Please do not re-add information to the Internet Explorer 7 page against consensus. If you feel a dedicated article is necessary to disseminate more information than is possible within the confines of the Internet Explorer article, please talk it out on the talk page for the IE article and ask for people's opinion on the subject. Once many people feel its necessary, content can be forked. Cheers. --soum^সৌমোyasch 03:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I was not aware of the previous discussion on the IE page. However, the forked content was merged from more pages then just IE page, and includes new content created for the IE page. The issue now is if you (or others) want to do a merge to IE. Old discussion about forking the IE page does not relate to new material created for a dedicated IE7 page.Digita 04:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I cannot find the discussion you are talking about, nor a pre-existing vote or consensus about merging the IE7 page anywhere. Digita 04:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Old discussion still applies to newer versions of an article if it has not changed much. And I wasnt talking about any discussion, I was referring to a dispute. Sorry, if my wordings left room for misinterpretation. I should have said "Please do not revert the redirection", as your additions were once reverted and thus making it disputed. Its very essential to sort out disputes through mutual dialogues and not turn it into a revert war. Cheers. --soum^সৌমোyasch 16:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Since the discussion about forking the IE article does not seem to be going anywhere, I would suggest you that you directly go for voting. Create a section on the IE talk page explaining what you want and why and ask for people to vote. If the consensus is to fork, go ahead and create the article. Community consensus is a good way to go in such situations.--soum^সৌমোyasch 21:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The discussion is still making progress on that page, and I would prefer to keep the discussion in one place please. Thanks Digita 04:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

No one is stopping you from keeping the discussion in one place. You can routinely copy the discussion there. --soum^সৌমোyasch 17:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template

You'll be forgiven for being new at this, but you really need to stop adding the {{Microsoft}} and {{Windows Vista}} templates to articles where it isn't appropriate. Navigation and article series templates are intended -only- for the articles which are linked in the template itself. This means that {{Microsoft}} does not belong on WinFS. I'm going to revert all your changes. Please don't make more work for other editors by continuing with this. -/- Warren 18:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! I disagree about the the MS template, but see your point about your new Vista template. BTW, are you ok with the IE intro now? Digita 18:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

We have somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1,000 articles covering Microsoft topics. I'm not particularily concerned that you disagree with how it's used; it's a pretty standard Wikipedia convention to do things this way, and we ought to stick with it. That's why I'm telling you to stop. We can discuss Internet Explorer on its talk page. -/- Warren 18:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Well if its a convention, thats different. I was just doing what was done by others on a number of pages, you might want to tell them too if you get the chance. Digita 18:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IE7 discussion

Hey, I moved your comments as is down to clean up my rationale (if you say "please don't move my comments", I can also say "please dont clutter up my reasoning"). I did not edit anything. I just did it to get it in line with the protocol followed during voting. The original posters' rationale is not commented upon, in-place. I am going back to the changed layout. It contains everything you said, without any change. Hope you don't mind. :) --soum^সৌমোyasch 17:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, as long as my comments remain intact and I agree it needs to be a neater format. I did not mean to accuse of editing the actualy comments, just moving them (sorry). I will cross out my comments and say they were moved to the new section, so it clear what happened. Digita 17:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, dont cross out. I am moving it properly. And will keep a note saying what happened. Crossing out will mess it up as well. --soum^সৌমোyasch 17:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I cleaned up that place. Please make sure I havent inaverdently missed any of your comments (there was a lot of edit conflicts which might have jumbled things up, I am sorry if any such thing happened) --soum^সৌমোyasch 17:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, I think all my comments are there now. Even though we may disagree about the IE page, we handled this well. To borrow your phrase, cheers. Digita 17:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 :) I also moved your per-rationale move notice into the generalized notice.

Sure, we might have differences regarding edits but that is no a reason to be rude or incivil with others, is it? o_0. Cheers. :) --soum^সৌমোyasch 17:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I am signing off now. See you tomorrow. Have a good day or night wherever you are. :) --soum^সৌমোyasch 17:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Goodnight, and cheers to you also.Digita 18:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] template ideas

Feel like trying your hand at making a new template or two? I know you're interested in getting some navigation templates into the Microsoft articles, but we'd need some new ones. All of the Windows XP articles (see Category:Windows XP for a reasonably complete list) could be linked together with a template. Another area which could be interesting to do is to cover all the applications and games included with modern versions of Windows (Notepad, Paint, Calculator, that sort of thing). List of Microsoft Windows components could be a useful reference there. What do you think? -/- Warren 06:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it sounds like a great idea! If we can get good templates on these articles it will help people explore them, and the idea for one that links groupings of software (like the notepad, etc.) could work out well. It will take some time I think to find the best approach, but I think your one for windows was a good start. Maybe one similar to that (or like perhaps a footer version of it) but more focused on specific area could work. Digita 18:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
