Don't delete your talk page, archive it if necessary.
The question on whether a build should be here is based on existence (that is, whether it is fake or not), not specifically on whether it is "notable".

X010 (talk) 10:17, 25 May 2020 (BST)

@X010 I deleted my talk page because it was corrupted, and then because it was MCpillager's spam. ToMi (talk) 10:50, 25 May 2020 (BST)

Mcpillager's spam is not a reason to delete it - it should be archived. This deletion makes it difficult to view past histories, which is important in a wiki. X010 (talk) 17:41, 25 May 2020 (BST)

The content was only ".", so I don't see any reason to archive it. ToMi (talk) 19:16, 25 May 2020 (BST)

Solved. ToMi (talk) 19:27, 30 May 2020 (BST)

Hey, Can you delete Windows Longhorn build 4000? Setup build aren’t mentioning here… Nitropurple5431

@Nitropurple5431 ToMi is not a moderator, and he has deleting privileges for maintaining the wiki only. That being said, if the only existence of the build is in the install setup, then I think it is fine. X010 (talk) 10:41, 30 May 2020 (BST)

Deleting pages

The following discussion has concluded. Please open a new discussion for any further comments.

ToMi1 (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2020 (BST)

I would be cautious about deleting pages unless you are absolutely sure that they are fakes. Otherwise you need to discuss this with the others. This is not a one-man mission. X010 (talk) 19:30, 29 June 2020 (BST)

Well, I deleted the XBox OS page because it was copypasted from Wikipedia. Sorry, I badly provided the reason as "Out of Project Scope". ToMi1 (talk | contribs) 10:44, 30 June 2020 (BST)

At least provide a link then if possible. X010 (talk) 11:00, 30 June 2020 (BST)

Sorry, I'll keep that in mind. ToMi1 (talk | contribs) 11:03, 30 June 2020 (BST)

Problem solved. ToMi1 (talk) 13:39, 5 July 2020 (BST)

how come you have 2 accounts, Tome and Tomi1??, Its called sockpuppeting you know!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Beta Editor (talk • contribs)

Sock account of "Kool guy", blocked. X010 (talk) 00:34, 5 July 2020 (BST)

This isn't sockpuppeting. I named my forum account "ToMi1", because an account named "tomi" already existed, so later, my wiki account was renamed to the same name. ToMi1 (talk | contribs) 13:09, 5 July 2020 (BST)

Don't backseat moderate

You are not a moderator. If there is a problem, let me know and I can handle it. X010 (talk) 18:57, 14 July 2020 (BST)

Your weird edit

Why did you reverse the numbers at [1]? Just doesn't make sense to me. X010 (talk) 19:42, 18 July 2020 (BST)

The Helper usergroup

I've renamed the mover usergroup to the Helper usergroup to better identify the purpose of that group as users who help with general wiki matters while not taking a moderator role. You should be able to do whatever you were doing before, let me know if there are any issues. X010 (talk) 11:52, 23 July 2020 (BST)

Infobox Windows on IE

ToMi1 (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2020 (BST)

Why are you removing these templates? I can see your rationale for the buildlists, but not this... X010 (talk) 13:31, 27 July 2020 (BST)

I removed them because they wasn't IE templates and the IE templates weren't fixed. Sorry for problems. ToMi1 (talk | contribs) 18:21, 27 July 2020 (BST)

Why didn't you first build the IE templates and then replace the original one, instead of a state where no templates are there? And isn't it possible to build a "one size fits all" template (this might involve #expr's and such, and I can install them if needed)? X010 (talk) 09:29, 28 July 2020 (BST)

A small hint

ToMi1 (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2020 (BST)

You can use Special:ReplaceText or AutoWikiBrowser to make mass edits easily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by X010 (talk • contribs)

Well, I can't use Special:ReplaceText, as it can be used only if you have admin rights. ToMi1 (talk | contribs) 15:29, 7 August 2020 (BST)

Enabled, try again. Be very careful when using the tool, as one small mistake can derail the entire wiki. Ask me if you're not sure. X010 (talk) 15:56, 7 August 2020 (BST)

Thank you. ToMi1 (talk) 16:40, 7 August 2020 (BST)

Your deletion spree

Please explain it. They aren't fakes, so why are you deleting them? You need to be providing rationale rather than deleting things just like that. 500 pages is a freaking lot to delete without rationale. X010 (talk) 18:37, 13 September 2020 (BST)

These screenshots had many unnecessary duplicates, and were copied from other website. There was one fake (Windows 3.13). They were also in lossily compressed format, and many of these screens has their own categories (Whistler builds etc.). I also think that we should have new screenhots which will replace the current ones, as they're incorrectly cropped or taken. I just think that the screenshots in that category were unused and there was no reason to have them here. ToMi1 (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2020 (BST)
