Webpage

http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one/console/system-update-operating-system is the official page for the system software, xbox.com is the link to the product. Please stop changing this out and please stop throwing insults around. CaptainPedge | Talk 15:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox wants a link to the official website not the information webpage. My link is right. Your is wrong.
Also, you started insulting first. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 07:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Editing wikipedia is not an insult CaptainPedge | Talk 17:19, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on content, not on the contributor.. Best to move on. -- ferret (talk) 17:25, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can a third party please sort this shit out CaptainPedge | Talk 17:07, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Read the documentation at Template:Infobox OS. It states Official Website. However, the link may be appropriate in the External Links section. -- ferret (talk) 17:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But the page I am linking to is the information page FOR THE OS. The xbox.com home page contains no actual reference to the system software. It would be like linking to the Ford website when you are talking about a Ford engine CaptainPedge | Talk 17:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Xbox.com provides:
  • Games
  • Accessories
  • Help
  • Technical support
  • Accounting
  • A place to provide feedback
...for this OS. That's what all official websites do. And it provides information too. The disputed link is the proof of that. Take a look other official websites too: The official website for Windows is windows.com not support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4000825/windows-10-update-history. The official website for iOS is also apple.com/ios even though Apple has no version history web page at all. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 04:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You know what? I'm out. You win. I just don't care anymore. But I STRONGLY suggest you step away and think about the way you have been acting here. CaptainPedge | Talk 16:34, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do see your point, logically it should be http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one/console/system-update-operating-system, however the guidelines are a bit in the grey area. I did put it into the External links section when we were cleaning the article up last year. Wagnerp16 (talk) 18:50, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Aha! The famous "logically"! When someone says "Logically, it should be so", he or she is saying "I think it should be so an don't care what others think".
I am a little anxious to see who is the next winning bully. CaptainPedge bullied me and got his way. FleetCommand bullied CaptainPedge and got his way. Who will be the next to bully FleetCommand and get his own way? And most importantly, what will be the next fallacious URL? Of course, part of me prefers this to remain like one those movie sequels that are announce but never made.
Best regards,

You do have a point, after reading the comments made by CaptainPedge on here... well lets just say I'm staying way out of it. Maybe they didn't read the note saying be respectable to others? I'm not even sure that the InfoBox needs a website URL? In response to your comment about who will be the next bully, I say grab some popcorn sit back and watch the next argument unfold. Wagnerp16 (talk) 08:46, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
LOL. Honestly, when I grab some popcorn and sit back, I expect nothing less than Pixar. But thanks for cheering me up. :) —Codename Lisa (talk) 11:09, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Same old problem

Anyone up for removing that table in Version History? Wagnerp16 (talk) 09:33, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a COPYVIO issue, or just that it's unsourced? If the former, please let me know where the information was copied from. If the latter, feel free to WP:BOLDly remove it. -- ferret (talk) 13:20, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's kind of both, as you may know we had a large debate last year about it. Not everyone has read it I assume. Wagnerp16 (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just remove it, you've got consensus on your side it looks like. WP:BRD. It was boldly added, now you revert, then we can discuss if needed. -- ferret (talk) 17:46, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gone, thanks for the Beam edit, it was my mistake. Wagnerp16 (talk) 17:53, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Same arrogant users, I added the version history back with my old account and spent several days looking for and adding third party sources and made sure that nothing was written down like it was in any of the sources but a bot still claimed that it was "a copyright © violation" and it was removed, people here just seem obsessed with removing the version history table, I say add it back in and make sure that nothing copyrighted is in, but for some reason people just want to delete all content rather than just the one or two bug fixes relates sentences that are copyrighted, welcome to the Microsoft-sphere of Wikipedia where editors spend more time deleting content than adding, and only rarely is progress ever made.
