Image:Arena (web browser) 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.

It says at http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/drafts/html-design.html that "Arena" was a testbed for HTML 3.0, from Dave Raggett et. al and links to http://info.cern.ch/Arena/ .It says at http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_browse.htm "In 1993, Dave Raggett at Hewlett-Packard in Bristol, England, developed a browser called Arena, with powerful features for positioning tables and graphics." Is this Arena's origin? (A .94 readme also has some info). Smallman12q ( talk) 02:21, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
ok, I found many links that I will integrate in the arena article in at least 1 week. I'm on vacation and I don't know how long! all prerelease links are aviable on http://www.w3.org/Arena/0.90 mabdul 06:38, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I built the browser on top of XLib as the programming manuals for Motif and other XWindows libraries were rather daunting. I demoed it at the first WWW conference in CERN in Summer 1994 and at the 1994 ISOC conference in Prague a couple of weeks later. Regards, -- Dave Raggett

Hi, I'm going to chip in and review this article for Good Article status. This is my first time reviewing an article, but I've undergone the process with several articles that I've written, so I know what it takes to write a Good Article. My gut feeling is that this will go smoothly: the material appears to be thorough, and it's well-supported with reliable references. A couple of the sections have some grammar issues, but it's mostly well-written. The small grammar issues, I may fix myself; but there's at least one instance where the issues are such as to make the meaning unclear. I'll give more specifics later, and then I'll put the article on hold to give you time to clear those up. Normally, the article is put on hold for a week, but I can't do that because I'm in the middle of moving. We'll work around that, but there don't at first glance appear to be many glaring issues.

Beta-2 has two builds (beta-2a: 28 February 1996 and beta-2b: 21 March 1996) and introduced a new Application programming interface (API)).
I fixed this for you. It now reads like this:
Beta-2 had two builds (beta-2a: 28 February 1996 and beta-2b: 21 March 1996) and introduced a new Application programming interface (API)).
See the difference? It had and introduced, both past tense. Or make them both present tense, just don't randomly mix and match.
This API can be used for communication with other applications, in the same way that the application browser-history can,
or is it:
This API can be used for communication with other applications, such as browser-history
please clarify that.
I've made numerous minor grammatical fixes, but I'm leaving the rest up to you. I'm going to put this article on hold while you make the necessary changes. Since the issues involved are not large, and I'll be unavailable for most of next week, it'd be great if these could be cleaned up over the next three days. And, just so you don't think I'm picking on you, nice job with the article. Clearly, a lot of work went into it. The fixes I specified are small compared to the amount of effort you've put into it already. Dementia13 ( talk) 03:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

OK, this is getting there. Here's what's left:
When I said that you should list the OSes for which support was added, I didn't mean that you shouldn't mention that if you couldn't name the OSes, I just meant that it was a detail that belonged in the article. Anyway, it looks good with your revisions; and after I've done some grammar corrections, I think it's ready to pass. BTW, as you mentioned, your English is OK, but when you're writing in a language other than your native language, you have to work a little harder to make sure that your spelling is correct and that you're using correct idiomatic phrases. Good work. Dementia13 ( talk) 03:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
There's a nice excerpt that we may be able to useat Fischetti, Mark; Berners-Lee, Tim (1999). Weaving the Web: the original design and ultimate destiny of the World Wide Web by its inventor. [San Francisco]: HarperSanFrancisco. p. 68-69. ISBN 0-06-251587-X.
One of the few commercial developers to join the contest was Dave Raggett at Hewlett-Packard in Bristol, England. He created a browser called Arena. HP had a convention that an employee could engage in related, useful, but not official work for 10 percent of his or her job time. Dave spent his 10 percent time,N plus a lot of evenings and weekends, on Arena. He was convinced that hypertext Web pages could be much more exciting, like magazine pages rather than textbook pages, and that HTML could be used to position not just text on a page but pictures, tables, and other features. He used Arena to demonstrate all these things, and to experiment with different ways of reading and interpreting both valid and incorrectly written HTML pages.
