Mac Mini over-simplifying edits.

[edit]

Can you STOP editing this please. And stop using different IP addresses/login usernames: it's not acceptable to make repeat edits under different pseudonyms/sock-puppet accounts and is strictly forbidden under WP rules (I'm guessing as you have hardly done edits here, you don't know the rules properly). Hence, again, you are needlessly removing info that is specific about detail!

(For other editors: this user is ID'ed under these IP addresses as well: "175.156.209.238", "175.156.200.192", and "175.156.209.155".)

These statements do NOT need editing in any way. Here I will give you clear explanations so you can understand, and then cease braking WP guidelines repeatedly again:

1) "They also only require a simple power cable, rather then the normal "brick" adapter, as they feature an internal power supply." — that DOES NOT say anything about what you are claiming (that 'this still needs an adaptor'). Read the first half of the sentence properly again: "They also only require a simple power cable," — that clearly means a power cable is needed, but a larger power adaptor is not! So please stop pretending I have not made it clear that a cable is needed.

2) The weight is clearly displayed as "3.0 pounds / 1.37 kg" on Apple's website — so why have you mis-reverted an edit giving clear facts. Again, wrong site usage, against rules entirely.

3) "The Mac Mini was the first recent Macintosh desktop to ship without a keyboard or mouse, nor is there any included display. The primary intended market for the Mac Mini was for "switchers" (users moving from a traditional Windows PC to Mac) who would already own a compatible display, keyboard, and mouse. Other customers could easily purchase these if needed." Each part of this text explains a different concept. Let's break this down:

-- "The Mac Mini was the first recent Macintosh desktop to ship without a keyboard or mouse, nor is there any included display" — this is a factual statement, regardless of the citation. If you feel the cite does NOT directly say that, then you should add a query citation box instead of removing the statement, so one can then be added in future. Again, completely against WP standards.
-- "market for the Mac Mini was for "switchers" (users moving from a traditional Windows PC to Mac)" — from the BBC cite "People who are thinking of switching will have no more excuses" AND "Ian Harris, deputy editor of UK magazine Mac Format, said the machine would appeal to PC-owning consumers..." — these quotes clearly state then clearly imply switchers. So please do not lie in you assertions to me on my talk page (and thus to other WP users reading your comment) that the quote doesn't say what it clearly does!
-- "Other customers could easily purchase these if needed." — again, this is not factually incorrect. It aids understanding that these items could be bought to use with the machine, thus removal was unhelpful and pointless. Other non-techy casual readers may not simply understand this from the implications of the other previous sentences.

4) "a new glue process" => "non-socketed" — on some further investigation I can accept that term. Though it really is synonymous with the thing being glued-on. So hardly a massive change in meaning.

Hence, apart from my point 4 above, the rest should be adhered to accordingly please. --Jimthing (talk) 17:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
