Talk:TextEdit

message: The sentence "Mac OS X, as a Unix-based operating system, also includes emacs, vi and pico as well as other terminal-based text editors." doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the intro. I'm not sure the best way to fix this, so I'm leaving it as it is for now. -- Matthew0028 21:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other text editors

message: TextEdit is the strongest text editor I know of that is also lightweight, especially since it reads and writes rtf documents. If the source code is really freely published under the GNU, is there a Linux equivalent, and can a link be posted here?--72.75.82.125 02:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Try textedit.app for GNUstep. Don't expect the same Mac OS X experience, however, since much of the present Mac version depends on proprietary API not found elsewhere. +mt 21:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Apple TextEdit.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 19:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says it's open source ... what license is it under? (I just opened it on this Mac and "About TextEdit" doesn't say anything about a license.) - David Gerard 18:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Open source - what license? 

message: I really like the program, but I think it's way too much of a stretch to call TextEdit a word processor, it's even called TextEdit for gosh sake. I'll remove it from the categories and clean up the article in a while if no one objects. 67.180.206.34 (talk) 03:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a word processor 

message: Apart from the fact that an icon can hardly be called an Easter egg, it seems a bit silly to have an entire section containing one line of text.—[semicolons]— 10:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Easter egg 

message: The information box at the top of the discussion page is incredibly vague.  Perhaps somebody could edit the box to indicate: 1) Is it still possible for the public to edit the article? 2) Are only WikiProject members allowed to edit the article?  3) So what if the WikiProject is not currently working to improve it?  I'm sorry but the information box should provide some clear guidance for people.  WWriter (talk) 05:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This section describes the text in the TextEdit 1.5 icon… why is this relevant? —Frungi (talk) 01:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
