[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EVCert.PNG
Image:EVCert.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Own page?
Why does this version have an own page? Other versions have not, I think this should be merged with the Internet Explorer article. Also, Internet Explorer 1 is not even a redirect. Helpsloose (talk) 23:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merging has been discussed before see the deletion discussion Alexfusco5 23:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I did not see that. And for other readers of this discussion: The Internet Explorer 1 page did not exist when I wrote that. Helpsloose (talk) 00:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article merge
This article should be merged into Internet Explorer, History of Internet Explorer, and Features of Internet Explorer because it consists of content duplicated from those articles. Per WP:MERGE: There are several good reasons to merge a page: 1. Duplicate - There are two or more pages on exactly the same subject and having the same scope. Themodernizer (talk) 21:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- This was discussed before. Result was no consensus. I supported a merge at that time. But now am not sure. IE7 is pretty different from IE6, and as such clubbing all together does not make much sense. Same will be for IE8. How will we separate historical info from current? May be we should go the SQL Server/Visual Studio way. The entire per-version information should be consolidated into the history section in the main article. In fact, the entire series needs to be thought about again. --soum talk 06:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think we will be better off in the long run moving to version specific pages (if needed) and not merge everything together. Looking over those pages, a lot of it only relates to IE6 anyway, and as Soum points out, IE8 will end up needing its own page also. Digita (talk) 14:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have taken the initiative and started an IE6 page, and moved quite a bit of data that only applied to IE6 there. I realized a lot of the duplicated content doesn't apply to anything but IE6, and much of it has not been updated (such as "..The forthcoming Windows Defender monitors", which has been out for years now!). Digita (talk) 15:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't agree with the merger of IE 7 into Internet Explorer article and the two other articles relater to it as this page gives a clearer view of the features, development history of and other information of IE7 which are only displayed briefly in History of Internet Explorer and Features of Internet Explorer articles. Merging this article into the 3 articles will cause them to be too long. Thanks.

[edit] Market Share Statistics
The article currently reads:
It surpassed Internet Explorer 6 in market share by the end of 2007 (although combined Internet Explorer market declined), making it the most popular web browser in the world[1]
Unfortunately for the quality of the article, this is only according to Net Applications. Contrast their current data:
Browser Version Market Share for January, 2008 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 42.93% Trend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 32.30% Firefox 2.0 16.02%
With two other companies' data:
February 18 2008 - OneStat.com "the global usage share of Mozilla's browsers is 13.76 percent. The global usage share increased 1.04 percent since June 2007. The total global usage share of Internet Explorer is 83.27 percent which is 2.54 percent less as in June 2007. Most people are still using Internet Explorer 6 which is 53.95 percent which is 2.45 percent less as in June 2007. The current global usage share of Internet Explorer 7 is 29.06 percent and increased 1.35 percent since June 2007."
W3Counter (Jan 31, 2008 report) Global Stats 1 Internet Explorer 6.0 40.12% 2 Firefox 2.0 22.46% 3 Internet Explorer 7.0 21.67%
Each of these companies is looking at the web from a different angle and seeing different things. We cannot say for sure that IE7 is the first (or even second!) most popular browser online. -- Limulus (talk) 23:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] PNG/IE7
Since this is an IE7 article, not an IE article, it is inappropriate to criticise IE in ways that is not relevant to IE7. In particular [1] giving PNG as an example of Microsoft's lack of standards support when we specifically mention it isn't an issue in IE7 sounds dumb. IE's support of web standards is notoriously poor so I'm sure we can do better then that. Nil Einne (talk) 14:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yep. CSS 2.1 (heck, even CSS1 and HTML4) is a much better choice. In fact, I am thinking of a table in the main IE article that lists the conformance levels of various IE versions to the popular W3C standardized (or undergoing standardization) specs. --soum talk 16:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
