Android version history

Hello there!

Regarding the recent back-and-forth with the 4.4 screenshot in Android version history, what's the big deal there? The picture's caption clearly states it's the KitKat runing on a Nexus 5, and that's what it looks on that phone, which is a kind of Google's reference Android platform.

Please, any insights on what are you actually suggesting that we should place there instead? A screenshot of the KitKat running on a Nexus 4, or a CyanogenMod / AOSP version, or what? :) Please advise. -- Dsimic (talk) 16:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Windows 8.1 in Windows 8 article

Hi, what do you have in mind for the Windows 8 article? Is that article still for Windows 8.x as a whole or just Windows 8.0? If it's still for 8.x as a whole, then the screenshot should still be 8.1, the latest version. - Josh (talk | contribs) 16:34, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

If Windows 8.1 is considered a subarticle of Windows 8, then that means Windows 8 should still partially cover Windows 8.1, right (e.g. the Windows 8.1 summary section stays there, the "latest stable release" should still say 8.1, etc.)? Or if the article "should reflect just Windows 8", does that mean the Windows 8.1 section should be removed, and the infobox should say 6.2.9200 is the current version, and Windows 8.1 should be listed under "succeeded by"? - Josh (talk | contribs) 17:27, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Reliable sources

You say:

Threshold is rumor and speculation, even if posted by reliable sources.

Does this mean that some reliable sources are partially un-reliable?? Georgia guy (talk) 18:44, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Georgia guy. I asked this question in my own talk page too, but you did not answer. Why do you constantly attack the WP:RS aspect whereas neither me nor Viper have assumed that stance?
The source is Mary Jo Foley, who claims to have received this info from her little birdie. What both of us said in Windows 8 edit summary is: Our mission in Wikipedia is to represent fairly, proportionately and as much as possible without bias the points of views on a certain subjects that have due weight. And per WP:CRYSTAL, the point of view of the little birdie of Mary Jo Foley does not merit inclusion.
Basically, some Wikipedians have this illusion called a "reliable source illusion" in which they memorize the name of a number of mainstream works of journalism (e.g. Verge) or publishers (e.g. Wiley) and think whatever comes from these sources automatically merits inclusion in Wikipedia, whereas in reality, publications of these entities may fail WP:RS because of lack of the three elements that constitute a reliable source: Reliable author, reliable publisher, reliable contents.

Android KitKat Screenshot

Hi! Firstly, I've read the reply you did in Lisa's talk page, but I forgot to reply. Hence, every news reports indirectly redirects to the information published by Mary Joe Foley of ZDNet. So, I'm waiting for some encyclopaedic references.

Anyways, you are correct, the official update of Android 4.4 KitKat for any other devices other than Nexus 5 are very different, one of my friend just installed it through factory images of it that were released 2-3 days ago in his Nexus 4 (you must be knowing), I was surprised to see that it was just different from my Nexus 5 and completely matches to the image you uploaded, i.e, File:Android 4.4 with stock launcher.png.

One thing to note that the screenshot you uploaded contains an icon representing a file which is downloading and a play store logo with a tick sign in-between, in the left-corner of the screenshot.

So, I've taken a simple screenshot of the OS just after installation in Nexus 4 and posted it replacing your file. Thanks. Himanis Das (Talk, Facebook me, Tweet me) 17:10, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Re: File:Android KitKat original home screen image.png

Wohoo! Nice observation though! I'll definitely support you because two duplicates has also been deleted.

Himanis Das (Talk, Facebook me, Tweet me) 15:35, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for late, read your message, I also think that there is a requirement of that Nexus 5 image and there are not much discussions regarding the matter you mentioned. I can upload the image again with the purple mountains, but I'm sure one day an user will surely tag it for deletion requests and my work will go in vain, so I've left it to others. I'll also feel glad if you'll do that work. And I've also seen that most of the ads show that purple mountains wallpaper. Himanis Das (Talk, Facebook me, Tweet me) 16:53, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Template:Infobox OS component

Hello, Viper

I thought you'd rather hear this from me than see it in your watchlist: I have moved Template:Infobox Windows component to Template:Infobox OS component. Your recent constructive edits showed me the importance of bold editing.

Now, I am not going to dive into the most controversial Mac article and put this template there, but I already have my eyes on a lot of non-controversial opportunities in which this template would reduce size, complexity and rendering time, without caveats. (See Template:OS X) As for the controversial cases, I'd put the emphasis on usefulness of the change. After all, I'd use ((Infobox goose)) in an article myself if I think it is more useful than ((infobox software)) – or vice versa.

Happy New Year

So 2013 ended with many ups and downs, starting from the release of blockbuster movies, new OSs, gadgets, cars and bikes, improve in social networking etc to meeting new friends, improving our editing skills, forming new groups.

But it also brought sad movements like the death of Paul Walker, Nelson Mandela to Cyclones like Phailin, Haiyan etc.

Finally, I'd like to conclude that several ups and downs are must in every year but we must be fearless and have faith in divine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014.

Windows XP article's size

Hi.

Windows XP article is now at 92.58 KB. Per WP:SIZERULE, at this stage, article must be split. Development of Windows XP article is now at 18.75 KB. You can export the bulk of development-related contents there and leave only a summary, a la Wikipedia:Summary style.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 12:24, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi again. Splitting the article and "drastically cutting down trivial or poorly sourced information" are not mutually exclusive. You can do both. One outcome is that everything in Development of Windows XP article is replaced. (The other outcome is adding source to them.) Deleting unreferenced contents is what I support. You can delete everything said about a leaked version as either an original research or coming from an unreliable source.
As for "making it more like the other recent Windows pages", I am at a loss as to what you mean by "doing the opposite". Let me give you two examples: Windows 8 got split. (You did it.) Windows 7 article has a Development of Windows 7 article. So, whichever you take, if you split, you'd be doing "making it more like the other recent Windows pages".
Best regards,

Features new to Windows 8

Hello, Viper

May I inquire as to what made you revert 79.26.58.247's contribution?

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

You pretty much summed up my thoughts. That's what I wanted to do as soon as I saw it, only I thought a revert on your part could not have been on this ground.
The source is the least problem. It is WP:ABOUTSELF, which is good enough if we keep it short. But for futher elucidation, I think I saw something in Ars Technica a while back.

Anti-gay

I agree anti-gay is a loaded term, but that is exactly what media sources around the world are terming the Russian laws. Sportfan5000 (talk) 01:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

3O

I'm removing your 3O request on that page, 3rd opinion is really only to help end stalemated disputes between 2 editors. I see there is a RFC in progress on this subject and 4+ editors are involved, and the RFC tag will likely bring more to the discussion. Cannolis (talk) 01:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Minors

No one has questioned that the law stated it was about protecting minors/children, or even that it was reported by Russia press as to stop pedophiles. The majority of critics have seen through the think of the children argument and dismissed it as largely homophobic, especially the false implication that LGBT people are interested in sex with children. Research has born repeatedly that the most likely molesters of children are straight people, and people who are friends and family members.

The international condemnation has nearly nothing to do with the aim of protecting children, it's simply false to pretend that is what is being discussed. Instead it's about inciting violence against LGBT Russians - which has already been well documented since the laws have taken effect - and shutting down all LGBT culture.

By insisting "the laws are to protect minors" Wikipedia is parroting Putin's anti-gay rhetoric, when we well know it's false. So that violates NPOV. I think the explanation in the following sentence that the laws stated concern was the protecting of minors, but that has been widely criticized, is NPOV. It presents not what Putin wants us to believe but what reliable sources has unequivocally has stated is defacto ban on "gay propaganda." Blood of innocent LGBT Russians is flowing, and people are being tortured and under threat of murder because of the law, not because they have done anything to any child anywhere. This is a serious situation and preventing these facts from being presented NPOV is only causing more real-world harm to innocent people. Sportfan5000 (talk) 06:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Re: IPs

I don't think it's written anywhere what IPs can or can't do with the GA process, but IPs can't nom for the same reason they can't review. They make one edit, disappear, and the reviewer ends up wasting their time reviewing an article no one's going to touch. Wizardman 00:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
