Internet Explorer 7

I'm sorry for wasting your time by causing you to revert those edits. I had downloaded Internet Explorer 7 to see if it's better than Firefox (as the media hype seems to express) but I ended up getting so frustrated with it that, when editing Wikipedia articles as I often do, I edited Internet explorer#Version_7 from a biased point-of-view and used my own "research" to justify my claims.

However, I wasn't lying per se about IE7 being incredibly slow: My tests clocked it as one-third as fast as Firefox v2. I would like to stay in contact with you so we can find a legitimate source supporting (or possibly refuting) my claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteveSims (talk • contribs)

I didn't think you thought I was lying; I'm just saying that my research, though original, is probably accurate. Therefore, we should find some valid source that confirms or disproves this.SteveSims 08:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for arbitration regarding inclusion of Aqua UI similarities to Windows Aero in Windows Vista and Windows Aero articles

Given Gnetwerker's persistence against consensus regarding comments about Aero's similarities to Aqua, I have forwarded the dispute to the arbitration committee and am notifying you as an involved party as required. Paul Cyr 20:57, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FAC?

I think once we add fair use rationales to all the images and perhaps remove the screenshot gallery we could try and run for featured article. Even if the nomination fails we're likely to get some new input which would help us to improve the article further. What do you think? jaco♫plane 00:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm curious what you think of my latest edits, like the references in external links and the awards table in the critical response section. If you don't like these edits, feel free to revert me, I'm just being bold.. jaco♫plane 00:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured Music Project is worth a read. jaco♫plane 18:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking over some of the featured articles at that page, it seems to me that the main criticism we'll get in an eventual FAC is that the article hasn't got enough quality prose. I'll see if I can flesh it out a bit more over the coming days. jaco♫plane 18:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment, I actually felt that "who engineered her debut, with meticulous planning." sounds pretty eloquent. "worked very closely with Alizée to launch her" doesn't sound quite as good to me. There should not be a comma between debut and with there though. What about something like "Alizée was signed on by Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who were the architects of her debut. The duo meticulously orchestrated the launch, controlling her image and public appearances." ?? jaco♫plane 21:46, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for following my advice on that. I've kind of been on a football-related editing craze, so I didn't really notice your edit. I'll see if I can work a bit more on the article in the coming days. Cya! jaco♫plane 20:42, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I'm kind of planning to do a overhaul of the article soon to get more details on her career in the article. If I write something that you don't like, please don't hesitate to say "Hey, that sucks" ... I can take it :) I think I've been shooting down quite a number of your suggestions too, I hope you don't mind.. jaco♫plane 10:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the lead, I think the summary shouldn't include details of the launch of her career. But as I said before I don't really care much for what the guidelines say, every article is different. Btw, are you ever on IRC? I'm usually on freenode, username jacoplane (never really in #wikipedia, --> #wikipedia-en). Maybe it's a good idea to meet in irc once since so we can discuss these things without having to jump between three talk pages.. jaco♫plane 11:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your idea of doing a thorough review is good, so I've created User:Jacoplane/Alizée Review. Is that what you had in mind? Btw, how do you like my new userpage? ;) jaco♫plane 14:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I saw you'd left me a message, so I just wanted to thank you... i'm getting better at this! I just created two new articles (although primitive, I know my fellow Wikipedians will come along and beef them up as they should be) and am enjoying myself. Thanks for dropping by and giving encouragement!

Removing shadow on Shale image

On Talk:Shale, you wrote: Can someone please modify the Shale image to exclude the shadow, so that the rock can be better viewed? I would have done it myself but was not sure if that was permitted by the copyright. If anyone wants me to do it, please drop me a note at my user page.

According to Image:ShaleUSGOV.jpg, the image is public domain as a work of the US government. If that's true, you can do what you want with it. 198.166.55.98 20:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Microsoft Windows components

This should be a fun project (and probably a nice break from the heavy learning we both have to do to write our articles :) ). I've been working on building up this list for some time... it's not complete, but I think we have the genesis of something that we could get listed at WP:Featured Lists. Maybe we could have some tables showing when certain components were introduced / deprecated? Anyhow, have a look and give it some thought. Warrens 02:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:InJenaimarre.JPG)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:InJenaimarre.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Annoying font colors in signature

You use an colored, mixed case, multiple link signature. It is difficult to read, particularly in edit mode where your signature takes up 4-5 lines, on a one line comment. Please don't do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaijin42 (talk • contribs)

Sorry about not signing, it was an oversight. Gaijin42 15:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Much better, it only takes up 2 lines. I personally don't see what is wrong with the default signature, but if you have to have it custom, that is much better. Gaijin42 18:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hah, I was going to say something about this too :) You might want to glance at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Tony Sidaway 3 where a major flamewar has just taken place on this very subject. jaco♫plane 18:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it was kind of ridiculous ;) Well this kind of political scandal happens all the time on Wikipedia, but in cases like this you have to understand that some admins like Tony have got a lot of opponents in Wikipedia who would like to turn this site in some kind of myspace. Well, I think it's rather amusing to observe anyway. In any case, I had noted that your signature was somewhat inappropriate for some time, but it's clear that you are a user who is willing to listen to objections from other users or admins (which is why you are such a good Wikipedian). The problem is with those users who view any criticism as a personal attack. Regarding the Alizee article, I haven't forgotten about it, but I just haven't been inspired to work on it the last few days, and I've been focusing on football articles. Especially since my country just won the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006 and the upcoming world cup (which Holland will also win ;).... I'll be working on it, just don't know when. I think our next step should be to get the article to good article status. jaco♫plane 18:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Wikipedia

Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Wikipedia, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.
Recommendations:

Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.

All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.

Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.

Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.

Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.

Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.

English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).

If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended: हैरी पॉटर ने ''[[:en:Pensieve|Pensieve]]'' के अन्दर ''[[:en:Little Hangleton|Little Hangleton]]'' गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ ''[[:en:Merope Gaunt|Merope Gaunt]]'' को देखा. ''[[:en:Resplendent Quetzal|Resplendent Quetzal]]'' पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० ''[[:en:Pablo de la Llave|Pablo de la Llave]]'' ने काफ़ी शोध किया था. Whence,
हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा

Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था

Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।

For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
1. The name in bold ('''अपोलो''')

2. starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : [[:en:Apollo]];)

3. The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicized phonological transcription within / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन''))

4. the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन [[यूनानी धर्म]] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन [[रोमन धर्म]] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।) For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.

Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article ([[en:Appolo]])). These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.

Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.

Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.

The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.

For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.

Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.

When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.

Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.

For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.

Regarding usage of Hindi scripts on Windows XP

Hi. I saw your message on Cygnus's page, and thought about intimating you that you are not mandatorily required to type the script directly in Hindi. There is a free downloadable software available on the Internet by the name of Baraha 2.0. Try that, and you will also be able to type in Bengali, by directly converting your words from English.

You are welcome to register and even make sporadic (or more ) contributions. Please also continue at Bangla wiki. Please do not be confined by script and typing constrains.

Image on physics page

Hi. After some back and forth edits with another user, I have ended up putting the electron orbital image back on the physics article, without your layout changes. My reason for this is that the series box, which currently displaces the image downward, is almost certain to be deleted in a few days based on the current discussion on the templates for deletion page. When the template is deleted, the image will automatically fall back into its previous position to the right of the table of contents. I don't want to put in a bunch of layout tweaks that will have to be undone when the template is deleted.--Srleffler 19:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop changing my entries

I have tried on several times to add a link to the Microsoft SQL Server page. This link is to my website, which has been in existance for over 6 years, and is one of the largest websites on SQL Server, much larger than the other websites linked here. Please stop removing this link, it is a waste of my time, and yours. If you do your research, you will see that my website fits into the link guidelines of Wikipedia.-- Brad M. McGehee (Userpage - Talk)

Good article

Nice work!! Well me too I guess. Well please give me some time to work on the review, it's not just the football, I just found out that my mom is very ill, but I'll get on it when I can. Hope you are well, jaco♫plane 02:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your comment on my talk page, it wasn't me who added that information... jaco♫plane 17:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you never need to apologise for anything you say to me... I've seen how good of a contributor you are and it's always a pleasure to collaborate with you, so that means you have the right to say anything you like to me. You can insult me all you like!! I tend to judge people based upon their actions, not their words. And you've passed that test with flying colours long ago :) jaco♫plane 01:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Like in this case, you should be pointing out that I was an idiot for misinterpreting your message incorrectly ;) jaco♫plane 01:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whee :) thanks for the barnstar, although now I do have to reconsider my userpage layout :) By the way I readded that fanpage. It was brought up here and I think it's better to have English fansites than french ones. Definitely no more fansites than this though. If you disagree with what I've done feel free to revert me, of course. Cheers! jaco♫plane 09:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:OfficeButton.png)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:OfficeButton.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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.

Hiya

Hey soum, thanks for your message. I haven´t totally disappeared, I´ve just been really busy with family issues and work. Hope all is well with you. I hope to be back soon. Cya! jaco♫plane 17:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey soum, thanks for your concern!! It's not so good :( I prefer not to talk about this kind of thing on a public forum like this, but again if you ever want to chat I'm usually on IRC or you can always mail me. Also, please take a look at [3]. Cheers, jaco♫plane 01:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

advise

you left a the welcome message on my talk page, that's why i ask you: whilst editing an article (organic food) i ran into another user and we are cultivating our little edit war. i don't know how to get out of this situation. is there a mechanism, that can call in other editors to break up this me against him situation? a hint would be appreciated --trueblood 17:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC) some guy has now violated the three revert rule, still with the same sentence and something in the introduction. but i wonder if to have him blocked might just escalate things. any ideas?--trueblood 11:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a revised Infobox OS

Hey Soum :) Hope things have been well with you. I've been working on a revised template for operating system releases:

Here's the template: Template:Infobox OS version. I haven't written instructions etc. yet... Here's my test area for it: User:Warrens/Tableau.

My main goals were to get a standard-sized box (logo and screenshot size are hard-coded), and to do away with the separate articles for version numbers, and to force the issue of providing a relevant citation for preview/release version numbers. I also added a "Further reading" section at the bottom so that we can identify related articles right in the infobox. Let me know what you think! -/- Warren 05:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Windows Vista beta security updates

Regarding your edit to Windows Vista with the summary "all products get updated in betas" - Vista is the first beta Microsoft product to get security updates provided by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC).

User:Soumyasch/AdminCoaching

Hi Soum. Just a quick reminder that if you're still interested in admin coaching, session two has been up for over a month now. Feel free to take a look at it if you have a moment to spare; it shouldn't take as long as the first, and you can do the assigned reading at your leisure. Thanks, Sango 123 14:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Communities and blogs Edit on Windows Vista Query

Why was VistaArticles.com removed from Communities and blogs section?

Sites such as thehotfix.net and xpmediacentre.com.au are allowed which hardly contain information on Windows Vista :S?

What is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007?

Hi Soumyash! Anyway, I've been trying to clean up the MS pages and was wondering if you have any idea what Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 really does so i can create an article on it - the articles on it need a real explanation. I've tried looking at MS sites but after reading many pages of "info" I still have no idea what the thing does :(.

GREAT work on the office article by the way! RN 09:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I accept your point about them being pre-launch. However now the phone is in widespread use there is no justification for keeping them. If you want to replace ifd with {{Replaceable fair use}}I won't object. However I don't think they should be added back in - there is a free image and therefore the fairuse argument of no free alternative having been located does not hold.

Image:Alizee.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alizee.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Jkelly 23:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
