replies: text: Neither.  Its official title, from the program's help menu and title bar, is Paint.NET - a blending of Microsoft Paint and the .NET Framework.  Capital P, lowercase aint., capital NET.  The article is correctly titled.  =David(talk)(contribs) 01:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Paint-Mono Screenshot.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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Is the timeline really necessary. Maybe if it only contained major milestone releases, otherwise it should be remove.

message: Last source release was 3.2, and now at 3.36. The source, even old source, is not available on the web site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.17.43.205 (talk • contribs)  12:11, 7 October 2008
The web site no longer lists it as open source, and the main author, Rick Brewster, confirmed via email that the source was not available:
Sorry, the source code is not available.
Paint.NET was never a conventional "open source" application anyway, as it was not "community developed". We have never accepted unsolicited, outside contributions.
Our current plan is to release only the source code for the Data and Effects DLL's, to serve as a plugin SDK.

message: A while ago, I added some links to sites that mirror the source code, including one to what appears to be an old official website that is no longer maintained. However,  removed them, saying that Wikipedia is not a "place for collecting download links." I agree that we are not a link farm, but I don't see any problem with including a link to the source code. The source code is no longer available on the developer's website, but just because a developer is no longer offering an official download does not mean we shouldn't link to third-party sites that mirror it.
For the record, I think at least one of the following links (especially the first one) should be included:
* Paint.NET 3.36 download - contains source code for version 3.01
** This site seems to be official, although it appears to have been abandoned in favor of the current one.
*** It isn't official nor is it allowed to be redistributing proprietary plugins. --Simon Brown - Talk Contribs 22:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
