 * ✅ Well, partly. I did the PD stuff but I don't see why Microsoft should be singled out from every other commercial software publisher.  It just seems redundant.  Feel free to repost and explain. I can't promise I'll be the one who gets to it. --Selket Talk 22:35, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if I were you I wouldn't have rejected a request that is granted in the parent page without investigation. As for the reason: It's simple; Because Microsoft license is different: Microsoft actually authorizes the use of its screenshots. Template Microsoft screenshot is made with the approval of three other administrators to properly inform users of this difference. Note that tagging Microsoft screenshots with a fair-use tag is a legal misconduct called "Misrepresentation". (Reason is simple: They are authorized use. Saying that they are fair-use is inconsistent with the truth.)  There now, dear Selket. Now you know it. Would please kindly grant my request?  Fleet Command (talk) 11:55, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, done as requested. BTW, I didn't reject the request, I passed on it.  I didn't feel I adequately understood the Microsoft screenshot issue.  I'm a little scared of MediaWiki namespace to be honest.  I acted on the ones I understood.  Sorry if you felt like I was rejecting the other.  --Selket Talk 18:38, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, both for the change and for mentioning my wording problem. Perhaps "reject" was not a good choice of word. I'll take it into consideration in my future communications. Fleet Command (talk) 21:49, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
