Notability

The notability of this Wikipedia article has been questioned. This article says that Microsoft has a 40 to 45 percent share of the $1 billion embedded OS market. Since Windows Embedded 8 is a major offering within Microsoft's product line for that market, it makes this a notable article. Ed Brey (talk) 00:15, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ed

One mention is not enough to establish notability. Also not adhering to proper formatting and style guideline and cutting more cleanup job for other editors doesn't give a good image of you yourself either. (Believe it or not, the perception of an editor is very important too.) And please don't try mundane tactics like contextless stats such as "40 to 45 percent" and "$1 billion".

Best regards,

Huh? Now, now. What do we have here? First, this blanket revert that removes the cleanup in addition to being a WP:BRD violation; then sending a thank for my undoing it? Not the best editor impression. Codename Lisa (talk) 04:14, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I sent a thanks for your latest revert because I agreed with it. I was in the process of making it myself when you beat me to it. However, I disagree with your comment on the rv that my preceding rv was disruptive. At the time I made the rv, there was nothing from you on this Talk page. IHMO, it would have been better if you had posted there first. It would have also been better if I had waited a bit to see if you would. No hard feelings - just a confusing situation.

About the blanket revert: sorry, I missed that there was cleanup in there. Agreed: not the best editor impression. Ed Brey (talk) 04:28, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are lots of articles mentioning the OS; I just picked one good one. What would you suggest as a way to know if there are enough to establish notability? Regarding the size of the embedded OS market and Microsoft's share of it, could you elaborate on what you mean by "contextless"? Ed Brey (talk) 04:23, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ed Brey:: Look, there is no mandate for any comment in the talk page: Every editor is fully responsible for what he or she reverts; and reverting a citation style is something that good-faith editors try their utmost to avoid! (You should pay close attention to what it represents: The citation cleanup means that the cleaning editor has paid some attention to your source and isn't just a stubborn warrior.) In addition, there is no second R in WP:BRD.

But I am going to forget all this and try not let this episode cloud my judgment of you; at least, not today. Tell me: Have you studied WP:GNG and WP:NOTSTATS?
