PlayStation 4
I noticed that on December 9, you removed all instances of the article "the" that preceded PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS4. We had a similar issue at the Wii U article, discussed here, where an editor felt that the article wasn't needed. As you can see, the sources cited for Wii U overwhelmingly use the definite article "the". The same is true about sources for all of the PlayStation consoles, so we should allow its use there as well. If you disagree, please start a discussion on the article's talk page to get other opinions. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:17, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I'm not sure what kind of consensus the discussion at Wii U's talk page really gave us, but if there are some instances in the PS4 article where you think "the" can be omitted, I'd be willing to compromise on a case-by-case basis. Another option would be to start an RfC on one of the articles' talk page if you still think all instances need to be removed. Kind of silly, I realize, but official nonetheless. --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:05, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
I feel you are somewhat consciously loading the Olympic related articles with Red herrings, and distracting the narratives away from the most pressing issues, again, as noted by reliable sources. You are placing undue emphasis on trivial subjects that while noteworthy, should not drown out the homophobic violence, and wide criticism from human rights activists. The most recent addition has been to wedge in the second law about arresting aliens, which has been been widely disregarded altogether. Yet you've given it equal prominence. This is just the latest in a string of edits where the choices have upheld to propaganda of Putin rather than report what reliable sources state. i hope you will reconsider your approach.

Mobile Nations
I would like to note that I never included a plug for Mobile Nations in my edits. I only mentioned that Android Central was a part of Mobile Nations to help give it credibility and because Android Central does not have its own page yet. I have been trying to get others to create a page for all of the Mobile Nations brands as they are extremely popular blogs for their particular mobile experience, particularly Crackberry and Android Central. I have not created the pages myself because I am too new at editing to be comfortable with it. Can we discuss creating these pages? Cody.berdinis (talk) 04:39, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
DYK for Pinkie Pride
On 14 February 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pinkie Pride, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that "Weird Al" Yankovic offered to guest star in an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic after a co-executive producer found him showcasing fan works with his music on Twitter? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pinkie Pride. 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. |

Moto X Reception Section
Why are the very positive reviews from sites like Android Central and The Verge not allowed on the Moto X page? Here's the history: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Moto_X&diff=prev&oldid=595341950 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cody.berdinis (talk • contribs) 22:52, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, where is the best place to respond to your comment on my talk page. Here, or there? Cody.berdinis (talk) 23:07, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
At what point is a "blog" considered a valid source. I consider Android Central one of the foremost authorities on Android devices as it has emerged as one of--if not the--most popular Android news/reviews sites on the web, with easily more than 900,000 unique visitors (that number comes only from the number of people who follow the site on Google Currents, not the number of people that use the site). Check here: http://www.androidcentral.com/about Cody.berdinis (talk) 04:29, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
It has to be assumed that some people will skim the article and read only the reception section because that is what they care about. The quote from the Verge about the uselessness of the touchless control needs to be followed up with something like "The problem he is referring to has since been fixed/changed by allowing...." It would be something like a disclaimer. Thoughts? ---Cody.berdinis (talk) 22:42, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello
You have created a strange article. All sources that I see (e.g. [1]) say Office Web Apps are rebranded as Office Online. (In fact, I was poised to move the article to the new name.) And now you are saying "Office Web Apps" are part of "Office Online"?
Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 02:58, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Office Blog says "Today we are making two changes. First, we’re renaming Office Web Apps to Office Online". That means there is no "Office Web Apps" at all, whatsoever. They even supply a rationale: "We heard from customers that the inclusion of Apps in our name was confusing."
- As for "why would they introduce Office Web Apps Server for Office 2013 if they knew they would be re-branded" part: Why would you assume they knew? Maybe they didn't. Maybe they re-brand that one too. But as part of my conditioning when I came to Wikipedia, I learned not to care: We are only allowed to write verifiable facts without involving our own assumptions about them.
- So far, from what I see in sources, there are Office Online and Office Web Apps Server. Can you introduce a source to the contrary? Or do you have any further objections about merging Office Online into Office Web Apps?
- Best regards,
- Codename Lisa (talk) 05:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

4Chan Hoaxes
I see that your DYK nom has been approved but not with the hook you preferred. Will you reconsider whether your article could share an April 1 hook with Thigh Gap. The advantages for you is that I suspect you would get more clicks.... the advantage for the project is that it would unlock the log-jam around thigh gap. No reply necessary if you aren't interested.

Windows 8.1 Update 1: Not RTM
Hello, cool guy.
How are doing? I thought you might have added information on update 1 to Windows 8.x articles, and you should probably know this: Microsoft’s Leaked Windows 8.1 Update 1 Version Was Just a Test Build, Not RTM.
Right now I have a crisis on my hand and have to leave; maybe hours, maybe weeks. So, I won't have time to investigate myself.

Winter Paralympics
I don't think your edit to the controversy section of the Winter Paralympics was helpful. You claim that it gave undue weight to the Olympics, in spite of the fact that one incident you deleted referred to a Norwegian politician visiting the Paralympics specifically, and the British broadcaster of the Paralympics, Channel 4.

Hi Can you please make the intro of Windows 1.0 more of a neutral sounding point of view? Some parts of the intro paragraph sound like it was written by someone from Microsoft. Thanks Polloloco51 (talk) 00:32, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
This sounds slightly as if it was written by someone from Microsoft. "However, the future impact of Windows was underestimated by critics at the time; contemporary critics considered 1.0 to, despite its deficiencies, be an important milestone for Microsoft and its future products."

Not exactly what I said
Hi, Viper
Look, what I said was:
Paul Thurrott's Supersite is especially an unreliable as a primary source, although it is a worthy secondary source
— Codename Lisa, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Windows Threshold
So:
- "especially an unreliable as a primary source": It means we cannot rely on what he says unless he introduces another valid source. Things that he has said so far that have been wrong: Office 2013 won't have a service pack (it has now); Windows 8.1 will be a service pack for 8 (God, we are paying a great price for neutrality of point of view); the menu that comes up as a result of pressing Windows+X is called "Power-User Menu". (It is called "Quick Links menu".)
- "although it is a worthy secondary source": So, when he says "Microsoft said such and such in so and so conference", he can be quoted. Well, ... unless we discover in the future that he is having a tendency of disseminating factual inaccuracy.
The reason I used This Source is because of This Image.

Disambiguation link notification for April 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sports broadcasting contracts in Canada, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hamilton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Due weight of SkyDrive → OneDrive
Hi.
I saw your revert in Windows 8.1 and I think you have underestimated one aspect of due weight: WP:DATED. The issue it twofold:
- A lot of sources about Update 1 anticipated that the change from SkyDrive to OneDrive will come in Update 1. Now, surely Update 1 has due weight. What are you going to do if someone added the change from SkyDrive to OneDrive to the list of Update 1 changes? The best way to counter this is to have a statement at hand on the article that says it occurred earlier.
- So far, both you ([2]) and I ([3]) have reverted people who have tried to change "SkyDrive" to "OneDrive" in Windows articles. The rationale: Failure of verifiability. If the person looked into the source, he or she could not find the word "OneDrive". (Besides, not stock installation of Windows OS released before 3 April 2014 would bear the name "OneDrive"; so WP:ABOUTSELF goes out of the window too.) But starting with that update on March, we certainly will not find the word "SkyDrive" in sources. So, this matter must somehow reflect in the article.
Overall, although the update itself might not have due weight, I expect its impact does.
Best regards,

Windows 8 is actually pretty good.
Greetings, — Preceding unsigned comment added by InAndOutLand (talk • contribs) 01:29, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Windows 8, in my opinion, is much better than Windows 7. It's faster, introduces new technologies, and is all-around much better than Windows 7. And if you love the Start menu(I hate it now), use Classic Shell. And don't say "You shouldn't have to install a third-party app to make the OS better!" because you already do that with apps like VLC and Firefox to replace apps like Windows Media Player and IE.
Thanks, and, don't forget to be awesome! InAndOutLand (talk) 01:21, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
