Image:OberonScreen.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used underfair use but there is noexplanation or rationale as to why its use inthis Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to theboilerplate 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 withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 oncriteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at theMedia copyright questions page. Thank you.

The article on Native Oberon should be merged into this one. This article can have a section addressing each implementation environment. Any objections?PeterEasthope (talk)16:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The history shows that at 2018-05-11 user Accoun1 added the "excessive number of citations" template. A click on "Accoun1" in the history page gets a reply that there is no such user. Accoun1 is a robot? According to my recollection, there was a complaint some years back of inadequate citing of impartial sources. Now too many citations? I'm not convinced.

I fully agree withPeter Easthope's remark. I remember also that some years ago there were complaints/tags that the article was lacking references, either{{unreferenced}} or{{Primary sources}}. Admitted, in the history section are two places with lots of citations (five citations at "to other hardware" and six citations in a row at "in popular magazines"). At least two of the references at "popular magazines" are referencing german computer magazines and may be omitted (or moved to a German Wikipedia article, but there is currently none about the Oberon OS, only about Oberon the Programming Language). I am in doubt if userAccoun1 is senior enough to add this tag, see hisspecial account info, I am tempted to say that this is a kind oftag bombing. On the other hand I have no idea, how and where to discuss this, maybe an RFC should be added, but I don't know yet how to do arequest for comment. I tend to remove the tag.Treutwein (talk)12:13, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Update link to Niklaus Wirth's Operating system.35.145.148.132 (talk)01:46, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are some aspects that I don't think are appropriate on a Wikipedia article. There are many in-body external links and links to sister projects, which I thought are discouraged.§ User interface sounds out-of-place for an encyclopedia, in my opinion.Naruyoko (talk)04:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oberon (operating system) →Oberon SystemOberon System – The official name of this operating system is "Oberon System" (as per many of the cited references, and even the start of the article). I suggest renaming to "Oberon System" to avoid having to disambiguate from the language, and other uses of the name "Oberon"Vt320 (talk)09:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
