[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was No move. Duja► 07:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

MSN Messenger → History of Windows Live Messenger — MSN Messenger is the former name of Windows Live Messenger. Therefore, this is an article about the history of Windows Live Messenger and its name should reflect this. —Themodernizer 23:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Oppose - The Roman Empire is not merged with the History of Italy. MSN Messenger is also still useable. Reginmund 19:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Oppose - And not thrilled with the archiving of the talk page as a prelude to this request. User:Themodernizer boldly moved the pages in January of 2007, and was strongly opposed then, as well. - jc37 22:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This article is in desperate need of clean-up. The last couple of sections here seem like a haven to anyone who has an axe to grind as there is an utter lack of citations which meet WP:V. Blogs, forums, personal websites, etc don't remotely conform.--137.186.84.54 (talk) 21:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Next time you're on MSN tell your friend to link you to his favourite Youtube video. Just because it isn't cited doesn't mean it's not true. Bactoid (talk) 04:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The threshold for inclusion on wikipedia is verifiability and not truth. An editor testing this out and adding it to the article is the very definition of original research.--137.186.84.54 (talk) 17:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Well it certainly did happen and I could definitely see why Microsoft would want to keep this blunder of theirs as quiet as possible. Bactoid (talk) 06:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Filtering "controversy"

I notice there still have not been any reliable sources provided for this. The simple fact of calling it a controversy causes NPOV issues. Unless someone can provide some reliable sources to back this text, I'll cull it.--137.186.84.54 (talk) 15:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

No original research blah blah yeh, but anyway, any message with "http://www.CheckMessenger.net" in it seems to never reach the target either. 83.67.39.175 (talk) 22:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Enough citations are now present for the filtering section. It's no longer WP:OR - xpclient Talk 08:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
