Grammar
Hello, Viper

There is no worse time for a bug in WP:Twinkle than when someone goes for a partial fix. I ended up accidentally reverting two of your edits in Desktop Window Manager, while what I intended was to fix one of them. (I fixed things in the end.)

Anyway, here is the deal: Definite article ("the") does not appear behind proper nouns.

Moved "Windows Blue" section to the bottom
Hello.

I thought I should give you a heads up: I moved Windows Blue section to the bottom of Windows 8 article because there was a problem: The section had taken for granted that reader already knows a lot of things about Windows 8, which the article explains after the Development section. (Actually, you added a lot of those details yourself. Thanks, by the way.)

Feel free to change or revert if you think you have a better idea. (After all, who doesn't love better ideas?)

Android version history
Hey ViperSnake151, i have reverted your tag addition since a comparable article consensus was to leave the article how it is. There is a talk page discussion regarding this at Talk:Android version history where it was also decided that offering a portion of bulleted changes does not make the article a changelog. Please take a look. Thanks ツ Je no va  20  (email) 14:58, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Windows 8 on ARM
Windows 8 is a broad name that Microsoft uses to include both Windows RT and the editions that have Windows 8 in their edition names. Microsoft also sometimes uses the name to refer just to those x86 editions. Both are valid options for defining the scope of the Windows 8 article. I'm not aware of any explicit consensus to use either one, but the article has always allowed Windows RT information to be included. Changing the scope would require removing all Windows RT information from the article, not just the ARM mention on the infobox. It would also probably be an uphill battle getting a consensus for the change. - Josh (talk | contribs) 18:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

It was not a matter of "new"
Hi.

I'm calling in reference to this edit. Look, I have nothing against using "new". What I have problem is deviation from WP:NPOV as a result of it. The start screen, from a neutral point of view, is the a full-screen start menu with dynamic icons and some functions moved around. This has always happened: The Start menu has always changed its surface more dramatically than its core.

As for "a new interface influenced by the home screen of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system for smartphones", well this wrong. Or at least, if not wrong, contradictory. The paragraph earlier says that the changes are a result of adherence to Metro design language. So, make your decision: Is it Windows Phone or is it Metro? Actually, Metro started a long time ago: It affected my things, including Windows Phone and Windows 8. (Edit: As a compromise, I don't mind if it says "which resembles Windows Phone home screen release earlier". You had previously contributed such a statement but I removed it because it made the sentence unduly lengthy. But now, it is shorter.)

Fluff
Hi. Look, I really think the word "shortcut" in a Windows article can be mistaken with file shortcut. But you don't need to worry about adding descriptive fluff because definite article ("the") does the job quite nicely. "The charms" refers to the bar itself; "charms" refers to buttons. When a definite article precedes a plural noun, the article converts that noun to a singular reference to a whole unit when taken together. For example: "Apples" means just more than one apple. "The apples" means a group of apples that have a relation. Similarly, "the charms" means a group of charms taken as a whole unit.

Windows Phone version history deletion
Hello,

I would like to ask why you put the Windows Phone version history page up for deletion. The iOS, Blackberry, and Android version history pages are the exact same (they are just tables), and you have not chosen to ask for those pages to be deleted as well. If iOS, Android, and Blackberry are allowed to keep their version history pages, Windows Phone should be allowed to keep its v. history page as well.

If there is any issue with the article that you raised, I will gladly rewrite it within the next week. This page is needed to keep record of WP's version history-- it is valuable to Wikipedia and the public. Gamer9832 (talk) 00:12, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't think you are quite understand, we are listing broadcasters, not channel, Wikipedia is not a channel guide. Next, one final match is not notable to be list it, i had mentioned to you that we have similar case in France.

I would submit that the inclusion of the logos don't violate NFCC 8 as the logos are an essential bit of identification for the console, as they are often used to denote what system a game is for. VinLAURiA (talk) 17:01, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi.

 * Can't you see the middle bar thingy you get when you snap apps? Or the little "Next Image" arrow on the photo? Might be a bit more sensible if the Wikipedia App were used, but there's no consensus on whether that's a self-reference to avoid (cause every other web browser uses the Main Page as a demonstration. Even though they really shouldn't in my opinion). We either wait for the Metro version of Firefox or find a pair of open source apps. ViperSnake151   Talk  21:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Wrapping up: Mobile apps and Start screen
Hello, Viper

I hope I am not catching you in a bad time because I wanted to wrap up one of our past discussions.

Remember you and I having a discussion about whether to link "app" to application software or mobile app? Well, I investigated a little bit. Mobile apps have a couple of things in common: They are lightweight, both in terms of CPU use and footprint, they are designed with power usage and small screen sizes in mind, they are not always "application software" (sometimes they are utility software) and only run on a mobile OS or a mobile OS simulator. Touch support is not seen in all of them, but it is common.

Now, what about Metro-style apps? Sometimes you cannot run them even if you connect a high definition TV with 1280×720 resolution because a Metro-style app requires a minimum of 768 pixels at height. A lot of old netbooks that have minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 8 but have 1024×576 screen and cannot run Metro-style apps. So, they are definitely not for small screens. As for being lightweight, Videos app can be very CPU intensive because it decodes complex videos like Blu-ray Discs; more technically, videos coded with H.264 High profile or VC-1 Advanced profile. (Mobile devices do not decode such videos.) Other video editing apps are like that too. Even Photos apps can occupy a lot of memory. Now, Windows 8 (including Windows RT) and Windows Store are power-conscious. Windows 8 suspends unused Metro apps and kills them after some time. Metro-style apps also always application software; they can't run with admin privileges and are always sandboxed.

As you see, we have two desktop trends, one mobile trend and a neutral trend. This matches what Microsoft says: If you read Building Windows 8 blog and SuperSite for Windows articles, you'll see that Microsoft introduces these apps as "No-compromise" hybrids, that give both the power of desktop PCs and elegance of mobile devices. So, overall, I think we should use application software as the link because they do not show enough orientation towards either side.

There is a "the Windows Store" coming
Hi.

I need a second opinion on this and there is no one better than you to consult. Microsoft is opening "the Windows Store" – or actually Windows Stores to be accurate – at Best Buy locations. What I need to decide is: Should we include this in the Windows articles?

Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 19:26, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. Good idea. Only I made a mistake in my original post here. (Well, I was in a hurry.) "The" isn't part of the name. You know, unlike Windows Store, which is a proper noun, this one isn't. It is just a store that sells Windows and things related to it. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 22:46, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
