Thanks for uploading File:Windows 8 Tutorial.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Stefan2, thank you for notifying me about the image. I plan to add it to the Features new to Windows 8 article. The reason that I have not yet done so is because I am working on a draft. I will have this uploaded soon. (IanWilliam20 (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Microsoft uses Windows Me

Microsoft uses the Windows Me spelling. This is the most common spelling and PC World also uses it. Google "windows me" on any search engine and you will see for yourself that Windows Me is more common than Windows ME. Maria Kappatou (talk) 05:13, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
