HTC One image

Should we use the black HTC One image for the infobox? The quality is a bit poor and unclear, but at least it's not taken from a weird angle. - M0rphzone (talk) 02:29, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

The current image is ok, but an image of a close-up, straight shot of the One could be better. Also, thanks for cropping and cleaning up the image. It looks a lot better now. - M0rphzone (talk) 02:50, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Update regarding your comments about the image change: personal preference isn't a good argument for using the diagonal view shot. For products such as smartphones, a straight-up image of the HTC One showing more detail is more effective than a farther away, lower resolution diagonal view with light reflections and and an extraneous background. If readers want to see the thickness, they will be able to see it on the back view shot. I don't think there's a valid reason not to use the updated image. Infobox images are supposed to be clear and specific, and accurately portray the article topic. That's what the new image does (or is supposed to do). - M0rphzone (talk) 04:51, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Final call: Template:Did you know nominations/Chasing New Jersey

As I pointed out above on August 18, there is still work that needs to be done for this to be approved for DYK. Please stop by the nomination page right away. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:44, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

• One final courtesy ping. I won't close it before 24 hours have passed or before your next edit, whichever is later. I'm really hoping you'll post at the nomination template before then. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:02, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

The RTM case of Windows 8.1

Hi, Viper

How do you do? I thought maybe I should talk to you about the coverage of RTM in Windows 8 article.

What you wrote is the perspective of certain magazine editors who are not being entirely neutral. They are trying to make it a case that this "secrecy" thing is dedicated and new to Windows 8.1. However, there are things that they didn't say but you can still find them in sources. First, Microsoft dropped TechNet Plus two month ago and changed its policy about what's available to who. Second, remembering that 8.1 is effectively a free service pack, you see that Microsoft is not doing anything out of ordinary. Back then, Microsoft issued a "release candidate" to manufacturers and there was not RTM or GA; only RTW. Names are certainly changed, yes: Service pack → 8.1; RC → RTM; RTW → GA/launch. But the essence is the same.

In general, I think the current coverage is WP:UNDUE. What do you think?

Best regards,

Hi. Well, it still looks like a huge version of "daddy, let us open the presents before Chrismas!" to me, especially since Caroline Donnelly's primary source seems to have been two blog commenters! That makes her "MSDN and TechNet Subscribers" a WP:WEASEL. It still looks like sensationlism to me. But... whatever!

Re: Wait actually...

The disc images? Oh, yeah... I remember now. That's true. I was too focused on the package the we used to deploy through Active Directory / Group Policy. Still, we knew this bit about disc images not being part of the deal when Tami Reller announced Windows Blue and said it is going to be available through Windows Store. They are angry now? Maybe the blow was so heavy that IT Pros were in the state of BSOD until right now, when they rebooted and shouted from anger and frustration... Best regards,

Firefox, WP:LEADIMAGE and Windows

There is nothing in the guideline for LEADIMAGE that states that the image must be in Windows so please stop replacing a perfectly good image with one that's in Windows. It was discussed on that article's talk page and the consensus was that the first image should be kept regardless of OS because the minor differences between the images would not sufficiently detract and the OS does not the spirit of the guideline. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:49, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Firefox. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sorry about the last one. Lost count. Just a reminder. WP:BRD Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:28, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Huh? What happened to WP:DTTR? Any way, I agree with ViperSnake151's assessment. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 12:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Windows RT

The article Windows RT you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Windows RT for things which need to be addressed.

Peer review for HTC One article

Hey ViperSnake, the peer review page for the HTC One article says it's been reviewed/closed, but I don't think any editor ever reviewed the article. Do you want to open it/request again for a new review of the current article? It should help improve the article for another FA nomination. - M0rphzone (talk) 05:35, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

iOS duplication

I definitely support your attempt to remove duplicated iOS information from the iPhone 5s article. I think this duplication needs to be eliminated from each iPhone model article. Each article is setting a ridiculous precedent for the next. I'm thinking the best place to go to get consensus for this is probably WikiProject Apple.

HTC One

I feel that one of the two diagonal view photos should be included in the article. I already blacked out the screen on the keyboard one, but I could also black out the screen on the other, depending on which one is more relevant/beneficial to the article. And I think you may have nominated for FAC a bit too early :/ ...the article is still mostly incomplete, since we can add a section covering network availability, expand the commercial reception section, add a design phase section, and add a lot more about the software and hardware features. - M0rphzone (talk) 15:16, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

I agree. I suggest you withdraw the FAC, get the article in order, and let it settle before giving it another go. I appreciate your work, but unfortunately the article is still incomplete. At the moment there's really no reasonable chance of a promotion. Regards, --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 11:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Moving Metro (design language) to Microsoft design language

Hello Viper

I hope I didn't catch you in a bad time but I am afraid I do not really think moving Metro (design language) to Microsoft design language is a good idea. I do not believe "Microsoft design language" has become WP:COMMONNAME. This is exactly the reason for which previous rename requests met with not much support.

That said, I have no prejudice against a discussion. I have said before and I say it again: You often make good editing decision and if the result of a discussion is a consensus to move, I'll put it on the account of your good judgment.
