 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Icon and screenshot sizes

edit

Hi. It's is probably best to leave the icon and screenshot sizes set to default (that is, with no specified size). For consistency. Since nearly all articles about software are already set like that. Thanks. Cheers. User7681 (talk) 13:46, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Windows Server 2012 Desktop.png

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Windows Server 2012 Desktop.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

you may not use screenshots of Microsoft product boot-up screens, opening screens, "splash screens", or screens from beta release products or other products that have not been commercially released.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 07:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Windows Server 2012 R2 logo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Windows Server 2012 R2 logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (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. 185.172.241.184 (talk) 16:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:WinRAR icon.png

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:WinRAR icon.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 18:37, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:Windows 95 Boot screen.png

edit
 

The file File:Windows 95 Boot screen.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Boot screen capture in violation of Microsoft's terms

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Windows Server 2025 moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Windows Server 2025, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

IP block exemption

edit
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

茅野ふたば (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Hello, I have Global IP block exemption, but i cannot edit enwiki, this ip: ‪2A09:BAC1:0:0:0:0:0:0/32‬, has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s): This block will expire on 16:52, 29 October 2027, please IP block exemption for メイド理世, thank you.

Accept reason:

Granted. This was a challenging WP:CHECKUSER investigation as you've been editing a number of articles targeted by a blocked sockpuppeteer. However, my investigation convinced me you are   Unrelated and so WP:IPBE was clearly appropriate. Yamla (talk) 12:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't see where you were granted an IP block exemption globally. Please point to this. Even if you don't have one, you are plausibly a candidate for WP:IPBE here, we just need to clear this up first. --Yamla (talk) 11:51, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I sent an email no response. メイド理世 (talk) 12:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

IP block exempt

edit

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit the English Wikipedia through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Inappropriate usage of this user right may result in revocation. I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Yamla (talk) 12:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm TheTechie. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Draft:Windows Server 2025, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
