Screenshot software
Why have you removed screenshot software and put in list the software that is NOT screenshot software? F.ex. Why Brosix in screenshot software list? It is instant messenge, but not the software oriented on screenshot work. IrfanView is a freeware image viewer, NOT screenshot software. Jet Screenshot is screenshot software so I has to be there. According to Alexa it is known ehought now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R r245 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Your article What wp is not
Hi. I have flagged this for deletion as a cross-name-space redirect; also, we don't usually have references within the main article space to the mechanics of how Wikipedia works - see Self-references to avoid. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I am proposing an exception using a soft redirect to retain site integrity. Searching for returns the What wp is not article, thus it should be made obvious how to locate the correct article. --Hm2k (talk) 11:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Searching Google for "What Wikipedia is not" seems a devious way to go about finding it; also, I suspect that if this article wasn't present, Google might find the correct place - it evidently can find Wikipedia's behind-the-scenes articles, because the second hit goes to WP:NOTO. Your "hangon" tag will send an admin to read this - we'll see what s/he thinks. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:28, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Google is the defacto way of finding things, Google also likes to hold on to cache for as long as possible. I see no harm in a soft redirect to improve user experience. --Hm2k (talk) 11:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, the first hit already shows the RfD, and the second is to the correct page. Google is quicker updating WP than other sites, it wil be "right" in short order. Rich Farmbrough, 16:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC).
