== Thanks again ==

Hi. And thanks again for the recent batches of good edits.

It appears you are capable of doing very good stuff when your mood is positive. And could be very vindictive when your mood is negative. You are very much like User:FleetCommand.

Best regards,<br/>] (]) 05:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

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)

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. Warren -talk- 00:35, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
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. It is not nasty or a trick because, what you do is good quality work in lieu of a consensus you yourself suggested. Becoming the hero is just a consequence.

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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Windows XP Event Viewer.png

Thanks for uploading File:Windows XP Event Viewer.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:27, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
