Clarification of NT history[edit]

See [http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Windows_NT Windows NT - Definition' for an overview. What became windows NT began as a portable release of OS/2 with multiple personalities, one of which was to be the basic OS/2 API and one of which was to include the OS/2 Presentation Manager API. Microsoft diverted resources to developing a windows personality, and IBM eventually sued. Some messages in the shipped windows NT actually included the name OS/2 in the text. Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.cbronline.com/news/unisys_opimises_the_potential_of_ctos_for_developers_via_its_ctosopen_initiative
    Triggered by \bcbronline\.com\b on the local blacklist

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 15:45, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 00:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
