Any registered user can nominate pages for deletion (at least, that's what it says here). I don't work on the software articles much, so I don't know whether this is an important image, but in general, orphaned fair use images seem to get deleted sooner or later.

It's versus its
Based on your edits here and here, I'd like to give you just a little grammar pointer, if you don't mind: "it's" is actually the equivalent of "it is", whereas "its" is for "it" what "his" is for "he". Here's a reference and some further reading on this if you are interested. -- Janizdreg 08:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * This would be a hard habit to break as 's is usually used for ownership whereas s is for multiples. Kind of like those other English oddities. I still believe I wasted 14 years of my life doing English in school, however. Thanks, however.GhostlyDeath 08:33, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I use "it is" on the Wiki as I don't use contractions on any of the articles. GhostlyDeath 08:38, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's good, since using contractions in articles is actually against our policy. -- Janizdreg 09:00, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

How to download and run Doom
The new users don't know how to run Doom.exe from a command line in Windows, but you're asking them to compile their own copy of a source port? Please tell me this is a joke. Ryan W 18:42, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * This isn't a joke. I'll add some other stuff which is distribution specific, but those are generic Linux instructions. Usually on Linux, the only way to play is to build it yourself. Using precompiled binaries may not always work. GhostlyDeath 23:28, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
