Talk:Open office

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] vandalism accusation

Hal, please explain why you call my changes vandalism. If you feel strongly about it, you should put a vandalism warning on my Talk page. If it's true, I will need to learn to behave myself. Thanks. —Fleminra 09:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

You deliberatly change a wel known wikilink to Office Open XML to a non existing OpenXML (OXML) combination. That even whilst you are well aware of the correct article name as you have editted the Office Open XML article several times in the recent past. That means your edit is in bad faith as you are knowingly removing correctly working wikilinks with the correct naming and substituting them for non-working wiki links and alternative naming of an article. Such a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia constitutes Wikipedia:Vandalism hAl 10:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't change a link. I rewrote the article, because the previous version (and now current version) made unreferenced claims. In my version, I quoted text from a reference that you nominated. According to that text, OXML is an acronym for Office Open XML. I have no evidence to suggest otherwise. I actually expected you to create a redirect at OXML to Office Open XML. Or are you saying now that that reference is unreliable? —Fleminra 17:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

There were no unreferenced claims. The Office Open XML article, which reference you removed, supports what was there. But regardless of that. There was a wiki link that was well known to you namely Office open XML. There was no need to remove that wiki link and insert a broken link whatever your edit was. Even in your edit you could have used the correct wiki link. It was purely intentional as you know the correct article name and link and you changed the text to represent a reference to a non correct article name and broken wiki link. Also the Office Open XML article does not contain an acronym OXML so now you ar making up things that are just not true. hAl 09:55, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Hal, you're wasting my time by writing incomprehensible English (your first sentence is not parsable), and not reading what I write. For starters, you would do everyone a favor if you started using Firefox — it has a built-in spell checker. Otherwise please compose your thoughts in your beloved Microsoft Word and paste them into IE. It detracts from your credibility. Please re-read my comments and the "OXML" reference that you introduced, and explain your reckless accusation of me making things up. Thanks. —Fleminra 18:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

You fail to explain why you deliberatly editted a wiki page to remove a valid wiki link to the Office Open XML article and replace it with a broken link and a changed naming. Also I do not understand what you mean by me introducing a reference to that zdnet article in the context of this disambiguity page. That reference never was on this page untill you yourself put it in. So you introduced it to this page, not me. hAl 21:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Did I say that you introduced the link to this article? You introduced it to Wikipedia (AFAIK) and to me — as an example of text that uses the phrase "open office" in the generic sense. What better place to quote that text than Wikipedia's article called "open office"? So that's what I did. That article says "OXML" is an acronym for Office Open XML. You haven't convinced me that it's not. Is your zdnet article only selectively reliable as a reference? Why don't you just go and create the OXML redirect? Obviously you have a reference for it. Besides all of this, since when is so-called "minor vandalism" justification for wholesale reversion of an entire edit? That is, if the OXML/OOXML link (which you call vandalism or something I "made up"; and I call a fully referenced quotation) was your only problem with my edit, why did you revert the whole thing? Spell checker, Hal — my eyes are bleeding. —Fleminra 01:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
