VG To-do:

Shouldn't the List of supported systems go to its own page?

Yes, or probably just replaced with an external link to http://www.mess.org/sysinfo.html --HappyDog 17:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Can anybody describe the design principles of Mess?

And the history of it's development. In fact, this article is pretty barren apart from the list. I have marked it as a stub because, despite it's length, there is very little actual content. --HappyDog 17:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I have moved the list to List of systems supported by MESS. If this article is considered non-encyclopaedic then it could be deleted. It is not any less encyclopaedic to have it as a separate article though, and it is way to dominant a section if included here. --HappyDog 11:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mess.gif

Image:Mess.gif 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 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.BetacommandBot 22:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reason for move.

I had to move the page to this disambiguation link due to a bug. See [1]. --Stux 17:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Turns out the bug was a problem in my local machine. Before I revert my edits, I would really appreciate some feedback: I believe that this disambiguated name is more appropriate for the page. Is there any reason that the page should revert back to its original name (MESS)? --Stux 21:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I thought the style guidelines recommended the simplest unambiguous name, which in this case would be MESS. --HappyDog 19:00, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Like you said, the policy is to use the simplest unambiguous name. Mess and MESS (this page) both exist, and are separate articles. Although they differ in case, I do not thing that is unambiguous enough and can cause some confusion. Hence, the disambiguation title it currently has, I believe, is actually more appropriate. --Stux 02:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
