 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Deprodding of Norton CleanSweep edit

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Norton CleanSweep, which you proposed for deletion. I added references to establish notability of the article subject, I also solved other article issues. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Short stubs edit

Hi. At the time in the early 2000s to around 2011 it seemed like the project had massive systematic bias problems. I simply did what I could at the time in identifying notable topics and blue linking them. It was more a planting seeds thing at the time, but unfortunately non-anglo countries don't get much attention on here so many haven't been expanded yet. Thanks for expanding the stub. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Redirecting Oracle Life Sciences edit

Hi there! Just letting you know that I have reverted your redirect of Oracle Life Sciences to Oracle Corporation. As the proposed deletion failed/was contested, doing a bold redirect of the article is not appropriate. You will need to build a consensus on the article talk page, or submit the article for deletion. Tim (Talk) 03:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Removing release history sections edit

<< See WP:NOTCHANGELOG - Wikipedia is not a collection of every single update and version history. >>

Yes, it mostly is. Source: articles on a bazillion other software apps, services, programming languages, and more. Stop paying attention to WP: features that kill the usefulness of wikipedia. Look up various other browsers, libreoffice, Windows, MacOS, VirtualBox, MySQL, various flavors of Linux, etc. The "release history" section is all over the place. It just doesn't need to be super-granular. pepp5 (talk) 06:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you include update history you're supposed to summarize the major releases not just include every single release - "A list of every version/beta/patch is inappropriate. Consider a summary of development instead." If you want that, there's other places to look, such as GitHub or the software website and documentation. We're an encyclopedia, not a database. For example, macOS version history only includes the major releases and not like macOS 14.4.1. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 16:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
