Article Feedback Tool update

Hey DePeeper. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:39, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Late night station layout service

Hi. I understand your reasoning to make this edit, but I've decided to add late-night service to all station layouts to put the services in perspective. Putting the paragraph in the lead may be sufficient, but I want to put the late-night service in perspective on the layout, as well as add the late-night termini of services. By the way, good job on restoring the lower level of the layout, which was unnecessarily deleted. Regards, Epicgenius (talk) 02:32, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Windows XP

Hi.

I wanted to let you know that your contribution in Windows XP article has a couple of problem and so, I had to revert it. The problem is:

You had removed the mainstream support end date. You didn't justify this removal, except saying that it was in the past. (Yes, and encyclopedias mostly write about past stuff.)
You ended announcing Windows XP Embedded support state twice.

Windows 8

Hi.

It appears you have made an edit in Windows 8 article but this time, you removed sources. Please, do not do that again... ever. This is a serious offense and source-removers risk being blocked, even if they do it in good faith.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 08:29, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote: "Admit it: the info and dates were inaccurate. Only the support dates for the service pack were shown, no support dates for overall OS. The last edit was accurate, the only problem was inserting the resource."

Well, you should read the fine print attached to the source. It says Windows 8 is supported until 2023 if you upgrade to Windows 8.1. Here is the actual words:

Windows 8.1 falls under the same lifecycle policy as Windows 8, and will reach end of Mainstream Support on January 9, 2018, and end of Extended Support on January 10, 2023. With the General Availability of Windows 8.1, customers on Windows 8 have 2 years, until January 12, 2016, to move to Windows 8.1 in order to remain supported.

You are not the first to make this mistake and I should say it is deliberate on Microsoft part.
