[edit] Hi

Regarding this. If you're going to be so brash as to accuse me of not reading the link in question, I'll lay this out for you. Read carefully:

As of March 17, this link shows four reported vulnerabilities for Vista: "Microsoft Windows ReadDirectoryChangesW Information Disclosure Vulnerability", reported Feb 2007, which is a real vulnerability. It's mentioned in the Secunia list. There's the "Windows Vista Voice Recognition Command Execution Vulnerability", which is a crock if ever there was one: It's not on by default, requires a very precise set of environmental factors to be in place, and is not even a problem unique to Vista. Securityfocus talks about it here. There's "Microsoft Windows Csrss HardError Messages Multiple Vulnerabilities", which is mentioned in the Secunia list. Finally, there is "Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine WMF SetAbortProc Code Execution Vulnerability" which is from December 2005, almost a full year before Vista's release.

So there we go. Secunia and Securityfocus show the same information, and as such, the links are redundant to eachother. One link to Secunia, in the External links section, will suffice. That said, we almost never include such links in Wikipedia articles on operating systems... there's a long-standing consensus on this issue, and it'd be good for you to respect that. If you have an issue with this, discuss the issue on the talk page, but do not continue with this little misadventure of yours unless you can gain consensus from other editors. Please review Wikipedia:Consensus and Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, which explains what is expected of you at this point. If you continue to make these edits without making any effort to discuss your changes , you might find yourself on the wrong end of a block. -/- Warren 13:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

SecurityFocus, involving Symantec , Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures and Bugtraq, is a reference. Wether you like or not. Secunia and SF are updated each day, and do not always include the same vulnerabilities, as is the case today, and you acknoledged it. It is very important for users to know all current vulnerabilities affecting their system.

Your own opinion about SF is not a reference enough to hide some vulnerabilities from wikipedia readers, which could have some deep consequences. Touisiau

[edit] 3RR warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. -/- Warren 11:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

This is only a NPOV tag, and there is an NPOV discussion going on.Touisiau

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked for violating the three-revert rule at Windows Vista. Please be more careful to discuss your changes or concerns rather than engaging in an edit war. The duration of the block is 8 hours. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 12:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

this is a NPOV tag so I appeal immediately of this decision.Touisiau

If you will agree to stop reverting the article, I will unblock you (on the condition that any further reverts within the period the block will normally last will lead to a reset of the block, and that one will not be lifted.) Please note, however, that inserting or removing an NPOV tag is subject to the three-revert rule. From WP:AN3:

Note that the test applied to determine simple vandalism is usually quite strict; adding or removing {{POV}} or {{fact}} tags is not simple vandalism.

Would this be agreeable to you? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 01:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, as a side note, if you wish to appeal a block you should place {{unblock|your reason here}} on your userpage, to ask another administrator to review. However, I have this page on watch and will receive messages left. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 01:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
