[edit] AfD nomination of Truth & Consequences
An editor has nominated Truth & Consequences, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Truth & Consequences and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Question from Brenden Long
Why are my contributions to the Start Menu page considered spam?
-Brenden Long (User:Brendenlong) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendenlong (talk • contribs) 23:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
How about just adding a note that there are alternatives, without the list. That way people know that there are alternatives to the Start Menu for Windows. I'm personally a big fan of alternative shells and shell enhancements for Windows. :)
-Brenden —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendenlong (talk • contribs) 00:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Or would it possibly be a good idea for an entirely new article, considering the number of alternatives available?

[edit] Hi there!
First I must say that I'm NOT Native English Speaker, so please be sorry.
Thank you for your feedback, I think that the "Windows 7" logo was correct and it isn't fake at all, It just unclaimed by Microsoft, you can search "Windows 7" images in images.google.com or visit www.windows7.cc
I apologized for uploading Windows 7 image, which was in development.Hippy deluxe (talk) 13:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Windows NT Architecture - releases table
Hi! Re. the last part of our previous exchange, please take a look at Talk:Windows_NT/Sandbox/Windows_NT_processor_architecture_table . Any comments/edits/suggestions/brickbats? Jeh (talk) 11:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Windows2000.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Windows2000.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 03:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rollback
I looked through your contributions and I believe that when you have reverted edits, you have done so appropriately. So, I have added rollback rights to your account. Please note that rollback should be used only for blatant vandalism and does not leave a useful edit summary. I hope you find it useful, but if not, just ask and I will remove it. —Remember the dot (talk) 02:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Windows NT Discontinued Software
I feel that the Category:Discontinued Microsoft software is a better category for this software title. It is more sutable that the other one. please give it a chance. Windows NT 4.0 is not a very popular system. It makes more sense to use the Category:Discontinued Microsoft software Windows XP 64 bit edition is also in this category. Lets try it and see what happens!
[edit] Thanks
Hello... thanks for catching the glitch at Hiro Nakamura. I'm not sure what was going on, but I had problems with several edits at around that time. Slow edits, edits not happening, and once even reaching a "Wikimedia database error" screen. I thought I'd cleaned up all of the problems, but I must have missed one. Thanks again. --Ckatzchatspy 00:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dont Worry
Im sorry that you thought it was vandalism I just couldnt figure out how the IE's were page attached to them and that IE8 is now out i'd thought i would change it to keep it up to date, Sorry, im not that gd with wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamieostrich (talk • contribs) 19:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Also thanks for updating it, can you please tell me how you changed the links, thanks
[edit] IE7 was released alongside Vista
The XP version of IE7 may have been released earlier, but "corresponding releases" means whenever an IE version has been released, around the same time, a major update to Windows has also been released. That will not be the case for IE8, if you use common sense. I guess "to each his own" and you love reverting edits/starting edit wars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.128.180.139 (talk) 09:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IE8 development start
It's still a conclusion you reached yourself. You can't just add loosely implied information to Wikipedia. Try finding a third party source that backs up this claim. Finding a third party source would also help prove that the August 2007 date is notable, when it is doubtful that development actually didn't start until then. (The Acid2 rendering at the start of the video is already quite different from IE7 and it wouldn't make sense from them to sit around doing very little between finishing IE7 and then.)
On the other hand, is it impossible that the August screenshot was from some other project that was later merged into IE8? - Josh (talk | contribs) 16:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- The screenshots show work beyond IE7 that eventually made it into IE8. Whether development occurred before then I don't know, but we know from these screenshots that work on improving the rendering engine was going on in August 2007. This is the best date we have to go on for how long Microsoft has been working on this. Whether Microsoft was developing IE8 at the time or developing another project that eventually merged with IE8 doesn't make much difference; the work all went into IE8 in the end. —Remember the dot (talk) 22:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] You are a dog of Microsoft
...And a sock puppet. I base this on the clear and present truth that you only edit Microsoft related articles, making you in all actuality a PR member.
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Winmine.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Winmine.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Windows Vista
Hi Josh, thanks for reverting my edit to Windows Vista. I had been trying to remove a couple of spam links from a spammer I had been following. Sorry I messed up the article - I don't know how I ended up removing those particular bits of text, I think I may have accidentally edited an earlier version. Anyway, thanks for spotting that and reverting. Best, Gwernol 17:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
