Revision of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

Warren with all do respect, the show is named 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with David Shuster which is shown not only when the show comes on but also on the shows website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luedhup2 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

No, it's not. Don't be confused by what the show's graphic says; graphic designers don't decide the names of shows. The graphic is telling you both the name of the show, and its host. If you read, say, the press release announcing Shuster's selection as the host of the show, they put the words "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" in quotes. Same thing with the transcript for the most recent show. You are also welcome to check your local TV listings, the source code to the 1600 Pa. Ave home page (which does not contain the words "with David"), and any number of other reliable sources (e.g. New York Times), which is the only true criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia.

Warren, one, im not dissrespecting you in anyway whats so ever, and two if you went to MSNBC website, and the shows website you'll see the title —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luedhup2 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Sigh... please read what I said above. Statements like "If you went to the MSNBC site", when I quite clearly and explicitly linked to that very site, right above where you typed this, don't help. Warren -talk- 20:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikiquette alert for User:S3884h

Thanks for the heads up. But let's leave Penelope Cruz out of it! ;) By the way, if I'm now Canadian, do I have to say "eh?" alot, drink Molson, and watch ice hockey? Gerardw (talk) 18:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Windows 7

Hey, I'm in the Win7 beta. :-) Happy New Year! — Alex Khristov 21:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

AutoRun - thanks

Well, thank you for rating my article. I'm rather pleased to get such a good rating. By the way, if you are an admin, would you be able to advise on how I can get the name changed from Autorun to AutoRun? I don't want to be accused of wasting time by simply resubmitting to Requested Moves, although that would be my first port of call. I cannot delete the redirect page...

Microsoft is a company, not software

It's a comment you left when you reverted a number of edits and moved Category:Microsoft history from History of software to History of computing. Your comment is, of course, true, but it's justification for your edits escapes me. Looking at Category:Software, the top of the software tree, it states "This category is about all aspects of computer software ...". Possibly when looking at category:Software you missed that. Or possibly it means something different to you than it does to me. Software has a number of subcategories. Besides the obvious: Category:Application software, Category:Software engineering, etc., there is Category:Software by company, Category:Software companies. Possibly you missed those as well. There is even Category:Software industry, missed also? A subcat of software is Category:Internet history where you'll find History of Google - another company, not software; did you miss that too?

It may be that you are improving the Software category by removing companies from it. That is, after all how Wikipedia improves, each editor making their contribution, day by day. So, if that what you are doing, then my text above gives you some guidance as to other areas requiring change.

If, on the other hand, that was not your intent then, even though "Microsoft is a company, not software", would you please put things back as you found them. Thanks 69.106.246.15 (talk) 19:00, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Creating Category:History of Microsoft software is probably the appropriate solution to bridge the two topics (software, and Microsoft) together. Go ahead and do this if you like; you will need a user account to do this, however. Warren -talk- 21:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

The "soft" in Microsoft is software. Yes, they have a few bits of hardware with their logo on them, but that is not what characterizes the company. Why is Category:Microsoft history not appropriate in the software category tree? 71.135.187.78 (talk) 08:48, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
