I'm just seeing your note 'now', (is there a way to have wiki send you an email when someone sends you a personal note or edits your user page?)...

What part of the material I wrote do you need more references on besides the length discussion of the problems I wrote about at the bottom of my text?

There are MANY complaints about this. But it's also documented in the help in windows 7: under 'Libraries: frequently asked questions' (comments in brackets are my paraphrase of what was said (1st line), or comments).

. "A network folder can only be included in a library if the content of the folder has been added to the search index. If the folder is already indexed on the device where it's stored, you should be able to include it directly in the library.

If the network folder is not indexed, an easy way to index it is to make the folder available offline. This will create offline versions of the files in the folder and add these files to the search index on your computer. After you make a folder available offline, you can include it in a library.

When you make a network folder available offline, copies of all the files in that folder will be stored on your computer's hard disk. Take this into consideration if the network folder contains a large number of files.

To make a folder available offline While connected to the network, locate the network folder that you want to make available offline.

Right-click the folder, and then click Always available offline.

The Always available offline command

Notes If you don't see the Always available offline command in the right-click menu for a network folder, you might be using an edition of Windows 7 that doesn't support offline files. [If you aren't using windows Professional or Ultimate you are screwed! (source: personal knowledge and checked @ http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/compare?T1=tab15)]

If the network folder you're trying to include is stored on a computer that's running an older version of Windows, you might be able to make it compatible with Windows 7 libraries by installing Windows Search 4.0 on the computer, and then indexing it. For more information about Windows Search 4.0, see the Windows Search website.

Is including the above copyrighted, hard to reference material what is needed for attribution? It's not like I can hyperlink to a MS-help chapter... Athena (talk) 01:23, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Consumerization page

Hi There, I would like to help solve any issues with this page. Can you please let me know exactly how to work out each individual item in your list? Thank you. Cesare. CesareGarlati @ cal.berkeley.edu

Hi, Cesare. Did you check Talk:Consumerization? I believe you find the explanation that I gave there useful. You can maintain the discussion there, so that others can help too.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Brosix is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Brosix (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 11:12, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Someone is trying to delete a page

Hello,

I saw that you did many times tidying and cleaning of this page: Brosix

Someone is trying to delete it.

This article is on Misplaced Pages for more than 2 years. There are 24 external references talking about Brosix. Many people contributed to this article in the last 2 years.

What should we do to keep it?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefanch2 (talk • contribs) 10:20, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: disambig ATI

ATI currently redirects to ATI Technologies. However, that company no longer exists as such since 2007, and indeed the brand has also been obsoleted since 2010. The linked article doesn't include the history of the brand since 2006, so I'm disambiguating references to the term "ATI" so it's clearer what is meant. Eventually, we may be able to change where ATI points to. I'll note this at Talk:ATI too, thanks for reminding me. --Joy (talk) 19:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Move revert

I just reverted your move of SkyDrive to Windows Live SkyDrive. The reverse move was just made in December with this rationale:

In some areas of the Microsoft website etc. it's being called Microsoft SkyDrive, sometimes it's being called Windows Live SkyDrive, and sometimes just SkyDrive. So SkyDrive is the best name as there is no confusion. See http://www.liveside.net/2011/12/08

Please start an RM if you'd still like to move it. – Pnm (talk) 17:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I knew that it was moved and I reverted it today. But what I didn't know was that you have also joined the rank of edit warriors and respond revert with counter-revert. (Or have you always been and it is a mistake on my part that I remember you as a good Wikipedian?) Seriously, what gives you the right to revert and denies me such a right? Fleet Command (talk) 18:20, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you knew. Your edit summary didn't indicate that you had seen the page history, and I assumed you hadn't. Several weeks have passed then, so I didn't think of your move a revert or mine a counter-revert. I started a move discussion here. – Pnm (talk) 02:44, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, huh? Well, I believe you; although you obviously knew that the article have twice been renamed forth and back and that a revert is most probably controversial. Still, I am not going to involve myself further in this matter, so you might like to delete your move request. (No pressure.) If there is any consolation, I am also sorry for my MOS:TITLE mistake. It is WP:TITLE, not MOS:TITLE. I thought these two pages were merged. Fleet Command (talk) 15:24, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Windows Live Essentials.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:Windows Live Essentials.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk) 21:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I always wanted to remove this image but I always feared someone might insult. Fleet Command (talk) 11:10, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

inre Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ground Control (film)

I believe your major concerns with Ground Control (film) have been addressed. I'm still slogging through the non-English sources, but in addressing WP:NOEFFORT concerns, the article is undergoing improvement and now offers our readers something more than a does IMDB. Schmidt, 20:10, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

You are right. Regards, Fleet Command (talk) 02:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Battleground mentality, civility

No need to turn your strict interpretation of our rules into a WP:BATTLE . You should review WP:IAR. If application of a policy doesn't make sense, don't do it. A bit of WP:AGF and WP:Civility would go a long way too and keep you from making further personal attacks. Toddst1 (talk)

I do not assume good faith in edit warriors. But if you stop hitting the revert button for the hell of doing it, I may reconsider being bound by rules from which administrators are exempt, just because they have power. Fleet Command (talk) 17:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Undoing one absurd edit once with an explanation on a talk page is hardly an edit war. Toddst1 (talk) 18:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

I knew it! To you, policy is absurd. You consider yourself above the laws. Fleet Command (talk) 18:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Hardly. If you think I'm abusing my authority, I urge you to take this immediately to WP:ANI.

However, policies need to be applied in-context and I'm encouraging you to understand that. Rigid application of policies is not beneficial to the project and only frustrates folks that run into such a practice. Lack of good faith and confrontational comments such as those you're making are really not constructive. Toddst1 (talk) 18:27, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
