Talk:Microsoft Notification Protocol

message: The abbreviation MSNP, as referring to the network protocol used by Windows Live Messenger and its ancestors, does not stand for "Mobile Status Notification Protocol", as stated here.  It stands for "MS Notification Protocol", where the MS in turn stands for Microsoft.  I know this because I was working on the project when this term was coined.  
My plan is to rename this page and edit the MSNP redirect to point to the new title.  The rename operation should create a new redirect page for "Mobile Status Notification Protocol" that points to the updated title.  I'll also update the pages that refer to the old link to reduce the number of redirects.
I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so any suggestions or feedback would be most appreciated.  Thanks.

Why does this need a citation? It's been part of the official client for the last few versions... does it need to be referenced somewhere? Maybe from Live.com? Sleeping Evil (talk) 00:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: MSNP15

message: As of Saturday, 12 December 2009, it appears that the MSN servers accept MSNP10 at a minimum, with MSNP8 and MSNP9 no longer being accepted. This information should be added to the relevant sections of the article. --TerrorBite (talk) 01:47, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  MSN deprecates older versions 

message: The use of MSNP by spammers seems to be on the rise. I came to this article as I just received a message "...@hotmail.com says: here's my pagei mentioned.. http://.../  i'm the girl you spoke to on that site.. hope to speak withyou soon." What surprised me is that for years I've had MSN configured to block messages from people not in my address list. The implication of this spam is that the blocking is implemented in the MSN client meaning anyone could write an MSNP client that ignores this. The wiki article can't get updated yet as I'm not a "reliable source."
It may be this is not an "MSNP" issue but rather a weakness in the Microsoft servers in that they both allowed the spam through to me but also they are allowing entities to send one-off messages like this to many MSN connections. --Marc Kupper|talk 00:34, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use by spammers 

message: I've sent a request to use MSNP19 to the messenger servers and had it respond positively. I've also observed the 2011 beta signing in with MSNP19. I don't know what the new features are though. 2011 does add Facebook integration but I haven't yet checked if the client separately connects to Facebook chat or routes it through the MSN/WLM switchboard server. I'll update when I find out.
I also removed the text "MSNP-Sharp supports MSNP18" from the MSNP18 section as there is no wiki article for MSNP-Sharp and this article isn't about 3rd party clients/libraries.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.105.103 (talk) 03:13, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
