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.

"In addition to a new authentication mechanism, Microsoft is also planning on making more of the properties of the user roaming. That is, the user's display picture, and in the future personal status messages, will be the same wherever the user signs in.[citation needed]" 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)[reply]
