Edit Warring
Hi, Please take your issues to the talkpage, I'm not fussed who's right or wrong point is you've both gone over WP:3rr so you both need to discuss otherwise your both going to end up blocked, Thank you. –Davey2010 05:06, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Forgot to add but you may want to read WP:BRD (You were Bold, You were Reverted and now you need to Discuss) - It's all to easy to smack revert but I know from past ecperience smacking revert doesn't solve a thing and instead it essentially digs you into a deeper hole, Anyway you both need to discuss it and if you can't come to any sort of resolution then you can try WP:DRN, WP:30 or WP:RFC, Thanks, –Davey2010 05:10, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
ArbCom 2017 election voter message
Hello, Warren. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Security and Maintenance
Hey. Look, what I am going to say is just a tip from an old timer to another; feel free to ignore it, no hard feelings.
Good beneficiary actions in Misplaced Pages have previously been stopped and banned because the person doing them gave a bad impression. For example, Archive.is is an awesome service but it was banned here for a very long time, because its maintainer did fishy stuff that put everyone into skeptical mode. See? A good thing got banned because it rubbed people the wrong way.
Let's assume Security and Maintenance must really and truly be moved to Windows Defender Security Center. Let's assume, right? With your aggressive editing in the wrong place and your bulldozer attitude, it won't happen. Face it: You gave a bad impression. Imagine Misplaced Pages as a huge building under construction. Bringing a wrecking ball to a long-completed wing of the building in which people have been living for years, and then giving the excuse that "it is a work in progress anyway" and "newer maps say such and such" does not fly with anyone.
That said, Windows 10 is a soup in which competing components have co-existed for three years now: Control Panel and Settings, Windows Photo Viewer and Photos, Internet Explorer and Edge, Paint and Paint 3D, Windows Media Player and Groove Music, Windows Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell... Windows 10 is approaching the end of its mainstream support and I won't be surprised if this civil war doesn't end by then (at which point it will never end).

- @FleetCommand: A cursory review of the edit history for that article will show that I didn't rename the article. Someone else did that. All I did was observe that the article name didn't match the lead section, so I thought, hey, here's something to do (because I care about good lead sections), and I fixed it up. I don't care much one way or the other what that article is named right now. Reality is, "Secure and Maintenance" will be removed in a future Windows 10 version and the article will get renamed then.

- Oh, yeah. That's the worst thing that could happen: People have negative attitude towards what you do but that's not even your fault; somebody else (in this case, Imgif) tripped their tripwire. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything about it. Okay, for a long time, I thought what I am going to say is a nasty trick, but it turns out it isn't. When someone does something stupid, like what Imgif did, you can become part of those people who have gone into defensive mood. Then, you show them good quality work and actually become their hero.

Removal of Content from Darvin
I noticed that you had reverted my changes to the article Darwin_(operating_system). The information remove is pure product details which has its place in a product brochure rather than in a Misplaced Pages article. A long list of past and current revisions of the software does not add any information. The information needs to be removed as WP:NOTJARGON Hagennos (talk) 17:20, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Hagennos: There is considerable precedent for this, starting with Google Chrome version history, Internet Explorer version history, Firefox version history and Safari version history. These articles have all existed for a number of years. It's not just browsers, either -- we have a whole category called Category:Software version histories devoted to tracking exactly the kind of content you are proposing removing from the encyclopedia. If you really believe what you're trying to argue here, then you should submit all these articles to WP:AFD and see what the community thinks of those beliefs.
