Thanks

Thank you for your fixes to NTFS. Your corrections were entirely accurate (not always the case in that article) and it was nice to see. --Yamla 15:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

ROTJ

edit

Um, I'm not trying to scare you off, but there is a reason why the article has not been brought into FAC yet. It's not ready. It still needs to have it's references doubled up on and requires information on the box office performance. I'd withdraw the FAC, before we receive any oppositions as it's not going to go well. I can almost assure you of that being that I oversaw all of the other previous FACs on the Star Wars films. The Filmaker 03:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • You know what, the article does contain some box office information. Let's see if there are any complaints. The Filmaker 03:37, 18 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
    • I don't appreciate the fact that you are referring to the nomination as a "Self-nomination" and including the phrase "I personally edited this page to add more content to expand this article to make it better than it was originally." Considering that you don't appear to have edited the page beyond the removal of a vandal's deletion template. It is particularly rude and not very bright to take credit for another person's (or group of persons) work especially without contributing in the slightest yourself. Wikipedia is very much a tight-knit community, and your actions will not be well-regarded. I'll give you the opportunity to change the page to avoid incident.

Big girls don't cry editing

edit

Hi, i'm an unregistered user of wikipedia and was wondering if you could help me with a question i want you to answer. In the article, "Big girls don't cry" (a song by Fergie) the section "Chart Performance" keeps getting deleted (the text) all about the song's performance on worldwide charts. I strongly believe that that article would be a really good one with that information, but people always delete it and it is really irritating me, so if you know why please let me know. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.101.48.239 (talk) 10:21, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

It needs to be shorten or rewritten. It is good, and the article should have it but; no one will read it because of its length. Try not not to go into as much detail with chart performances. A Raider Like Indiana 01:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your AIV report

edit

Hey, just letting you know I've removed your report regarding 70.189.118.126 (talk · contribs) for the time being; you mentioned a dynamic IP address, but I didn't see mention of other user(s) or page(s) involved, and the particular page mentioned in the report (Glacéau) didn't seem to have tooooo much recent activity. If I'm missing something, or if you can provide some diffs that might enlighten, feel free to let me know or submit another report. This isn't a lecture by any means, just the list was getting a bit crowded and tends to move fast. ;) Thanks for your time! – Luna Santin (talk) 23:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rose DeWitt Bukater's date of death

edit

Hello, A Raider Like Indiana. I'm certain that the reason that Rose's date of death was left as Unknown in that article, as well as not being specified in the Titanic article is because while a lot of (I would say most) people feel that she died at the end of that film, James Cameron stated, "It is to remain up to the viewer to decide weather Rose has passed away or is just dreaming." Therefore, we have no valid proof of when Rose died. I myself definitely feel that she died at the end of that film, just as Jack said that she would, and felt that it was/is a great foreshadowing instance in the film (as well as within all of cinema) and don't know why James Cameron wouldn't/won't just say, "Yeah, she died. It's true"...as I feel was his intention with that scene, but we cannot state that she died in 1997, when even James Cameron won't confirm it. I'm thinking you should change that back to Unknown. Flyer22 23:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I went ahead and changed it back, and, of course, replied to the message you left for me on my talk page (before I changed it back), but it's pretty much the same thing that I stated here. Anyway, I'll see you around. Flyer22 03:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Windows template

edit

Hey, let's have a conversation on Template talk:Microsoft Windows family and figure out what to do. It's a tricky because both you and Soum are right in what you're trying to do, but I think the real culprit here might actually be the articles themselves, which is making it harder to have a clear sense of what the template should contain. Going back and forth with duelling edits isn't going to solve it... I know we can work it out. :-) -/- Warren 19:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

NTFS "superseded" FAT

edit

I'm curious where you find a source which states that NTFS "follows" FAT rather than superseding it. Microsoft is rather insistent that FAT is deprecated. Tedickey (talk) 11:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

NTFS did not supersede FAT. FAT was targeted for the original Windows brand and NTFS was for the Windows NT line. When Microsoft released Windows XP, they were unofficially merged together. You can still use FAT, it's commonly used today, Microsoft is still giving updates to it making it still current like NTFS. They are two separate file systems. One does not supersede the other. They are not Operating Systems that go obsolete.// A Raider Like Indiana 23:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Correction to Windows 2000

edit

May I correct you regarding the edits you made to the Windows 2000 article. According to this page, users who own a Windows 2000 license are eligible to buy the upgrade version of Windows Vista. That is, the license permits upgrading from Windows 2000. However, the setup routine for Vista does not support upgrading a Windows 2000 installation, it requires users to do a clean install. Are you getting the difference? That is what that article clearly mentioned. In fact the same thing applies to 'Windows XP Professional x64' too. Read what is written on that page:

"If you are currently using Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional x64, you are eligible for an upgrade copy to a corresponding or better edition of Windows Vista, but a clean install is required.

Upgrade copies are not available for versions of Windows earlier than Windows 2000. These earlier versions of Windows require you to install a full copy of Windows Vista."

And this is what I'd written in the Windows 2000 article: "While users of Windows 2000 are eligible to receive the upgrade license for Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, neither of these operating systems can directly perform an upgrade installation from Windows 2000."

I hope it is clear now. :) Please verify the edits you make. Xpclient (talk) 18:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

But then the bottomline remains that there IS at least 1 way to upgrade to Windows 2000 and merely stating that it cannot be upgraded may create a wrong impression in the reader's mind. Rather, it would be better if whatever is the case is clearly written.
No probs. Thanks. :)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Windows 2000 Professional Box Art.png)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Windows 2000 Professional Box Art.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
