Microsoft Edge

[edit]

Hello.

I am Codename Lisa, an editor like yourself. I reviewed your contribution to Microsoft Edge article and I am afraid I had no choice but to revert it wholesale because of technical inaccuracy and contradictory statements. If you are standing, in a hurry or in a bad mood, perhaps it is not the best time to read this message. I am afraid no amount of politeness on my part can fully dissolve the sourness of the bombardment of mistakes.

The mistakes that you need to avoid in the future are:

  1. The notorious "x86" and "x64" mistake
  2. Diluting information about the preview versions with information about the latest stable version while failing to distinguish between the two. Normally, an infobox lists only information pertaining the latest stable version. Information about the preview versions are not added unless they have gained due weight and do not violate WP:CRYSTAL. Both are the concern here: What Microsoft has released for Android and iOS is nothing but a browser shell that simply reuses their native web browsers; and Microsoft has a long history of aborting product releases.
    • Sidenote: iOS apps do not run on x86 (including the x64 variant). Android apps run on ARM too.
    • Sidenote: The Android version of Microsoft Edge is not (and will never be) "a component of Windows 10".
  3. There is no such software license as "cross-platform browser".
    • Sidenote: Avoid using the word "cross-platform" in article; it is a weasel word most of the times. Just list platforms and operating system; when a reader sees multiple, he or she clearly understand the subject to be cross-platform.
    • We still don't know the licensing terms of Microsoft Edge for Android or iOS. Their current licensing terms are quite beta-test–specific.
  4. Microsoft Edge is not an optional app for Windows 10 and Windows Mobile. These two must not appear in |operating system=.
