Regarding the spammer
AlphaBeta, The IP that has attacked a few users about here should be blocked. The IP's attack behaviour was unacceptable. I know you say it's not spamming. But it's personal attack, which some may consider worse than spamming. Tau Ceti (talk) 10:26, 12 May 2015 (BST)

Main Page
I have restored some of the elements of the Main Page, such as the News section. VIPs are now again able to edit the Main Page, but please restrict that to editing the News section. --AlphaBeta (talk) 13:19, 30 May 2015 (BST)

Windows 10 Update Builds
Should we add all update builds to the Windows 10 page as soon as it RTMs or should we keep it in the current state, perhaps with BLItems instead of ESD filenames? --AlphaBeta (talk) 13:19, 30 May 2015 (BST)
 * Keep it in current state. Otherwise, Windows 10 main page will be cluttery. Tau Ceti (talk) 08:36, 3 June 2015 (BST)

Yet another question
Should we name pages like Windows:Explorer, Windows:DCE according the Guidelines and leave the current state or apply the Guidelines naming system to builds only and rename these pages to Windows Explorer, Desktop Composition Engine and so on? --AlphaBeta (talk) 18:44, 2 June 2015 (BST)

I think we shall apply the Guidelines naming sistem to builds only, because names like Windows:DCE can be quite confusing, since "Windows DCE" never existed.--46.102.69.61 19:24, 2 June 2015 (BST) (ovctvct)

Improvement
I am going to improve the articles on BetaWiki. People, it is not good that some of our pages are merely a few words. They should have more information, so I will add more. We have some very good articles (such as Windows 1 DR5 and Windows 8.1 Preview) but some are underdeveloped. So I will enhance them with content, images, etc. Thanks for your attention.

 * I have to move several pages because of people not following the guidelines. It says that we are not BA, don't include the timestamp in the article name. Tau Ceti (talk) 11:37, 2 August 2015 (BST)
 * I want to improve the articles about Windows 8 builds. I would like to start with build 7850; does anyone have an ISO in their collection they could provide a link to (on MEGA, preferably, it's more secure)? Callum90ish (talk) 19:58, 15 August 2015 (NZDT)
 * There's something wrong with your signature Callum. Also, I don't have an ISO, but try ftp://oscollect.old-dos.ru. Tau Ceti (talk) 09:15, 15 August 2015 (BST)
 * Unfortunately, there is nothing there on Windows 8. It's going to be difficult fixing up the wiki, when half the builds are only available in Fort Knox (BA FTP). Callum90ish (talk) 20:37, 15th August 2015 (NZDT)
