God vandalism

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thank you. Thetruthbelow 17:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Dakota ~ 17:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Windows "Vienna"

Yet again you are kindly requested to contribute in a constructive fashion to the encyclopedia. Adding garbage images to Windows "Vienna" does nothing to improve the quality and verifiable correctness of the article, so please refrain from doing so. Persistence with this behaviour will earn you a block. No excuses now, contribute usefully, or not at all. Thank you. Warrens 10:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshots

Hello! As always, good work on the screenshots. Your Vista screenshot will be seen by billions of people in the coming months, no doubt. :-)

There's been some increasing pressure on us to get proper fair use rationales into the images we are using... I wrote down some stuff here to help us get started with: Wikipedia:WikiProject Microsoft Windows/Licensing. Ideally, all our images would have four sections: "Summary", "Source", "Licensing", and "Fair use rationale". If we can set a good precedent for future contributors, that'd be ideal. Have a look and let me know what you think... -/- Warren 02:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to use something along these lines on my screenshots, with your blessing! Feel free to edit this as needed:

{{windows-software-screenshot|Screenshots of Microsoft Windows}}

'''Summary''': Screen shot of a normal desktop in Windows Vista on first boot.

'''Source''': Screen shot created by Wikipedia user [[User:JamesWeb|JamesWeb]] for use on the Wikipedia.

== Fair use for [[Windows Vista]] ==
*Not intended to cause any financial damage to Microsoft
*Screen shot demonstrates a unique feature/layout that could not be demonstrated using an existing screen shot
*Screen shot is made for educational use
*Wikipedia is a non-profit organization

Microsoft product screen shot(s) reprinted with permission from Microsoft Corporation.

Feel free to edit that as needed, the 'reprinted' bit makes no sense on a website but that's what Microsoft's documentation said to put. So leave me a reply here to let me know if it does the job, because I'm not quite sure on this whole fair use deal myself. :P

Also I've just noticed you tell me off for vandalising the "Vienna" article a little way up the page... Funny how times change, eh? :P JamesWeb 22:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Why did you change the picture that was on Windows Vista? Chetblong 14:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also I hope you don't mind, but I changed the picture to a screenshot I took. Chetblong 14:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for putting the Vista Ultimate screenshot back on. I couldn't find it, so that is why I had put the other screenshot on there. --Chetblong 15:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about your Vista Screen

On the main Vista page, the first screen is from you. I'm a Vista user and was just wondering how you managed to get the taskbar at the bottom to be semi - transparent like it is. See what I mean?

Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hugha (talk • contribs) 07:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

As long as you have transparency effects enabled it should be transparent like that, the only problems I can think you might be having is if you don't have Aero enabled, or use Home Basic which has a limited version of Aero that doesn't support the transparency. Also when you have a Window maximised the transparency goes away because it's not really necesary when you've got a window filling the screen... Those are the only possibilites I can think of. Hope they help! JamesWeb 00:02, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Windows Vista Business Box.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Windows Vista Business Box.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Windows RG

I tested out that Windows RG animation! It was REALLY FUNNY!

Image copyright problem

Thanks for your uploads. You've indicated that the following images are being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why they meet Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page an image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
