Grammar

Hello, Viper

There is no worse time for a bug in WP:Twinkle than when someone goes for a partial fix. I ended up accidentally reverting two of your edits in Desktop Window Manager, while what I intended was to fix one of them. (I fixed things in the end.)

Anyway, here is the deal: Definite article ("the") does not appear behind proper nouns.

Moved "Windows Blue" section to the bottom

Hello.

I thought I should give you a heads up: I moved Windows Blue section to the bottom of Windows 8 article because there was a problem: The section had taken for granted that reader already knows a lot of things about Windows 8, which the article explains after the Development section. (Actually, you added a lot of those details yourself. Thanks, by the way.)

Feel free to change or revert if you think you have a better idea. (After all, who doesn't love better ideas?)

Broadcasters

I don't think you are quite understand, we are listing broadcasters, not channel, Misplaced Pages is not a channel guide. Next, one final match is not notable to be list it, i had mentioned to you that we have similar case in France. Champions League is a long term tournament, not short term like World Cup. --Aleenf1 11:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

DYK for HTC First

On 24 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article HTC First, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that an early version of the Facebook-developed software on the HTC First was code-named "Buffy"?

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

This is not OR. This was confirmed by ASUS official support. It's also already fixed on Polish ASUS site and should be fixed on asus.com within a week. Also check it out yourself if you have a Nexus 7 (close your Nexus in a box and you will notice the difference. --Nux (talk) 21:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Android version history

Hey ViperSnake151, i have reverted your tag addition since a comparable article consensus was to leave the article how it is. There is a talk page discussion regarding this at Talk:Android version history where it was also decided that offering a portion of bulleted changes does not make the article a changelog. Please take a look. Thanks ツ Jenova20 14:58, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

NFCC addition

I reverted your change, not that it wasn't in the right direction but I think too strong a statement, and started wider discussion at WT:NFC on that matter. I think there's a middle ground here but you might want to explain your intentions a bit more there. --MASEM (t) 19:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Windows 8 on ARM

Windows 8 is a broad name that Microsoft uses to include both Windows RT and the editions that have Windows 8 in their edition names. Microsoft also sometimes uses the name to refer just to those x86 editions. Both are valid options for defining the scope of the Windows 8 article. I'm not aware of any explicit consensus to use either one, but the article has always allowed Windows RT information to be included. Changing the scope would require removing all Windows RT information from the article, not just the ARM mention on the infobox. It would also probably be an uphill battle getting a consensus for the change. - Josh (talk | contribs) 18:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

It was not a matter of "new"

Hi.

I'm calling in reference to this edit. Look, I have nothing against using "new". What I have problem is deviation from WP:NPOV as a result of it. The start screen, from a neutral point of view, is the a full-screen start menu with dynamic icons and some functions moved around. This has always happened: The Start menu has always changed its surface more dramatically than its core.

As for "a new interface influenced by the home screen of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system for smartphones", well this wrong. Or at least, if not wrong, contradictory. The paragraph earlier says that the changes are a result of adherence to Metro design language. So, make your decision: Is it Windows Phone or is it Metro? Actually, Metro started a long time ago: It affected my things, including Windows Phone and Windows 8. (Edit: As a compromise, I don't mind if it says "which resembles Windows Phone home screen release earlier". You had previously contributed such a statement but I removed it because it made the sentence unduly lengthy. But now, it is shorter.)

Fluff

Hi. Look, I really think the word "shortcut" in a Windows article can be mistaken with file shortcut. But you don't need to worry about adding descriptive fluff because definite article ("the") does the job quite nicely. "The charms" refers to the bar itself; "charms" refers to buttons. When a definite article precedes a plural noun, the article converts that noun to a singular reference to a whole unit when taken together. For example: "Apples" means just more than one apple. "The apples" means a group of apples that have a relation. Similarly, "the charms" means a group of charms taken as a whole unit.

Please don't remove this sourced section or insist that it must contain certain things (or nothing at all). Your continued discussion at Talk:Samsung_Galaxy_S4#Usable_internal_storage would be welcome so we can reach consensus. Widefox; talk 02:47, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to WUTB may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 ""s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Windows Phone version history deletion

Hello,

I would like to ask why you put the Windows Phone version history page up for deletion. The iOS, Blackberry, and Android version history pages are the exact same (they are just tables), and you have not chosen to ask for those pages to be deleted as well. If iOS, Android, and Blackberry are allowed to keep their version history pages, Windows Phone should be allowed to keep its v. history page as well.

If there is any issue with the article that you raised, I will gladly rewrite it within the next week. This page is needed to keep record of WP's version history-- it is valuable to Misplaced Pages and the public. Gamer9832 (talk) 00:12, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
