message: "Why are we merging when we are splitting"
Well, we may be splitting the article into internet suite, browser, mail and layout articles... but that doesn't affect Opera browser features -- that article remains completely redundant, and in large part, a poor quality copy of the information here. The idea behind the split was to remove the need for that article... we don't need any more spin-off articles just for the sake of it. - Motor (talk) 20:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If that's the case, can we give it another template, other than merge. I would like to VFD it out of existence once we get these other articles together. Because each feature will be described in its own article. --LBMixPro(Speak on it!) 21:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, merge describes the process I'd planned to follow after waiting a couple of days to collect any more objections. Over a number of small edits, move (or remove the redundant) stuff into this article (allowing everyone to see what was happening) and when finished redirect the article here. Hence... the mergeto and mergefrom templates. A VFD would just be a waste of effort, and I doubt that clogging up the VFD process with it would be appreciated. - Motor (talk) 21:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

That has annoyed me for quite a while, "Around 1992" is really vile... was it 1992, or 1991, or 1993... if we can't pin it down, we should replace it with "in the early nineties". Does anyone know for sure? - Motor (talk) 11:01, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, I'm not going to worry about it now. I posted a note asking for someone to provide a reliable source for the early history information, but no luck. So I'll be removing it tomorrow anyway, unless someone adds a ref overnight. - Motor (talk) 22:15, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: History and development

message: I'm reading the gemius page, and I can't find a reference to Opera (admittedly this is possibly because I can't read Polish). The front page contains a table headed: "Przegl\u0105darki" which contains IE 6.x, Firefox and IE 5.x... someone needs to explain where the figure of 6.5% of the market (600,000 users) in Poland comes from (preferably in English, the language of the article), or I'm going to remove it. - Motor (talk) 13:22, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It still reported itself as IE in 8.5 by default. Not sure about 8.51. It's not supposed in 9.0 from what I've heard. It is possible to differentiate between IE and Opera; their signature is not identical. But you have to know to do so in advance.

message: ... is a stub article and a quote. I've merged in the useful information. In five days I will redirect it here unless someone either expands the MultiTorg Opera article considerably, or gives a give good reason why it should be a separate article (given that it states it was never publicly available). - Motor (talk) 11:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

message: We need reliable sources for the facts in the history section, or they'll have to go. Anyone want to step up and provide them? And ideally, something to fill in the gaping 8 year gap... - Motor (talk) 19:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

: Which version of Opera are you using? Opera 8 works fine with me, but Opera 9 beta has a bug with it's rendering engine which has an effect on the way it shows links based on URL. Check the link here. . Also, this is a place to talk about the articles of Opera. You might get better support answers at Opera's community forums. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 05:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
