<br />
==Regarding the spammer==<br />
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. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 10:26, 12 May 2015 (BST)<br />
<br />
==Main Page==<br />
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. --[[User:AlphaBeta|AlphaBeta]] ([[User talk:AlphaBeta|talk]]) 13:19, 30 May 2015 (BST)<br />
<br />
==Windows 10 Update Builds==<br />
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? --[[User:AlphaBeta|AlphaBeta]] ([[User talk:AlphaBeta|talk]]) 13:19, 30 May 2015 (BST)<br />
:Keep it in current state. Otherwise, Windows 10 main page will be cluttery. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 08:36, 3 June 2015 (BST)<br />
<br />
==Yet another question==<br />
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? --[[User:AlphaBeta|AlphaBeta]] ([[User talk:AlphaBeta|talk]]) 18:44, 2 June 2015 (BST)<br />
<br />
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.--[[Special:Contributions/46.102.69.61|46.102.69.61]] 19:24, 2 June 2015 (BST) (ovctvct)<br />

==Improvement==<br />
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. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 10:48, 5 July 2015 (BST)<br />
: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. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 11:37, 2 August 2015 (BST)<br />
: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)? [[User:Callum90ish|Callum90ish]] ([[User talk:Callum90ish|talk]]) 19:58, 15 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
::There's something wrong with your signature Callum. Also, I don't have an ISO, but try ftp://oscollect.old-dos.ru. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 09:15, 15 August 2015 (BST)<br />
:::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). [[User:Callum90ish|Callum90ish]] ([[User talk:Callum90ish|talk]]) 20:37, 15th August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
::::Hey, I can help you with several builds. However, I can't provide any builds due to my (lack of) upload speeds. --[[User:Recycle.bin|Recycle.bin]] ([[User talk:Recycle.bin|talk]]) 10:50, 15 August 2015 (BST)<br />
:::::What builds can you help me write better articles for? I've got Windows 7 Beta & Pre-beta build 6801, Windows 8 DP and a wide range of Vista builds. Do you have some other builds you can provide information and screenshots for? [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] (User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 11:14, 16 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
::::::I did screenshots of build 5048, you can see them on the build's page. I also have some screenshots of: Windows 98, NT 4, Windows 10 Technical Preview. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 00:32, 16 August 2015 (BST)<br />
:::::::What 98 builds do you have screenshots of? Might as well start from the earlier builds, since that's what people look at (in my experience, usually either because I told them too, or because they're more interesting). [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 11:50, 16 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
::::::::Hey, I have the following 9x builds, and I can sort them by the difficulty in installing them in VMware or Virtualbox: Easy: 431, 445, 450, 456, 468, 474, 490, 501, all of the leaked 950-r? builds, 1094, 2106-2222A, 2332-2470, 2481-2535. Difficult: 58s-73g, 189-405 (except 346), all leaked 11xx builds, 1411, 1434, 1593, 1619, 1650-1900 (English builds only). Painful: 81-122, 1511, 1518, 1525, 1559. I don't have access to my main right now (and it's going to undergo an upgrade soon, anyway) but I'll try to start on more of these articles ASAP. I already did 1 or 2 of the more boring builds, like 445, as they may literally only have a couple of changes noticeable to normal people.--[[User:Recycle.bin|Recycle.bin]] ([[User talk:Recycle.bin|talk]]) 03:38, 16 August 2015 (BST)<br />
:::::::::Okay, then. If you work on those 9x builds, I'll start work on NT5/6/10 builds. I have quite a few of them. The problem will be getting hold of builds in order to gather information and screenshots. Curse Steve Sinofsky and his obsession with plugging every last leak!!! [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 15:53, 16 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
::::::::::[takes jacket off :P] I'll do Windows XP screenshots, earlier ones are a little intimidating at this point but I'll figure it out. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 06:46, 16 August 2015 (BST)<br />
::::::::::: I might start with Windows 7. If anybody wants to help me, download links for ISO's (excl. 6801/7000), screenshots and information are all welcome. [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 18:05, 16 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
:::::::::::: Does anyone know a good website for Windows 7 builds? [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 10:19, 17 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
:::::::::::: Sadly none exists afaik. BA is the only one who provides ISO's of 7 betas. Olddos.ru only gives a 6780 ISO, plus that ISO is broken(throws error during setup). Would you like a 6936 ISO? But I can only upload it to my google drive. Note: To install 6936 in workstation,select windows 7 x64 as guest, select LSI Logic adapter ONLY, other adapters causes setup to freeze. And download this to enable the superbar and other locked stuff: http://static.squarespace.com/static/514e2905e4b023ca28fd2047/514e2ad8e4b0d528d07c0c96/514e2ae0e4b0d528d07c13b4/1323212437000/BlueBadge_rev3_x64.zip?format=original Wil provid ISO ASAP.--[[Special:Contributions/85.122.4.49|85.122.4.49]] 06:16, 17 August 2015 (BST) (ovctvct)<br />
::::::::::::: OK. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 06:52, 17 August 2015 (BST)<br />
::::::::::::: Great. If you have any other NT6.x builds, I'd appreciate it if you could upload them. Finding leaked builds, especially in the 6.1-6.3 range, is tricky, and I'm pretty sure we can all agree that torrent sites stink for older leaks, because hardly any of those older builds have any seeders. This is a BIG job. [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 18:01, 17 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
:::::::::::::: Currently I'm using VBox, which makes any pre-2296 Whistler builds hang at setup :'{ [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 07:07, 17 August 2015 (BST)<br />
:::::::::::::: How about I do those ones? [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 18:50, 17 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
::::::::::::: Here's that 6936 ISO : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2CQR48oiPa5eUU1aTgzZ01RZ0U/view?usp=sharing Please tell here when you finished download as it must be removed or some [censored] will DMCA me. --[[Special:Contributions/94.176.152.6|94.176.152.6]] 11:55, 17 August 2015 (BST)<br />
:::::::::::::: Finished now [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:callum90ish|talk]]) 17:09, 18 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
:::::::::::::: OK, link is now down. --[[Special:Contributions/94.176.159.71|94.176.159.71]] 16:37, 18 August 2015 (BST) <br />

==Improvement II==<br />
Because it was becoming painful to post from there, I'll make this one. Also Callum you can do anything pre-2296 thanks for your help. I'm actually installing them right now, so yes. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 08:03, 17 August 2015 (BST)<br />
: Okay, then. Downloading 2250 at the moment. Do you know anyone who might have some Windows 7/8 ISO's? I don't have many of those, thanks to S. Sinofsky and his obsession with plugging leaks. Thank heavens they fired him! [[User:callum90ish|callum90ish]] ([[User talk:Callum90ish|talk]]) 19:40, 17 August 2015 (NZDT)<br />
:: Ha. I don't know, but I'll upload the images tomorrow. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 09:56, 17 August 2015 (BST)<br />
