Cerberius

• Previously concluded discussion

...having the article say that Erwin is Cerberius, but we don't have verifiable evidence to support that. A complaint has been made to the Wikimedia Foundation about this being defamatory --Michael Snow 16:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Is the information about the alleged complaint to the Wikimedia Foundation available for users to review, to make sure "legal claims" aren't made up willy-nilly to affect Wikipedia articles in a detrimental fashion?

It's available to users trusted to help with matters on the Wikimedia OTRS system. --Michael Snow 23:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

An original copy of the story about the Methlabs.org hijacking from Slyck, naming William Erwin as the Cerberius who was behind the trouble at Methlabs is available here. Also a version of the Peer Guardian licence naming William Erwin as Cerberius is available here. --Fxer 01:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I do apologise, I only just spotted this discussion. If anyone wants anything clarified, please feel free to contact me. I think the current explanation, however, is very good. --JFM (talk) 01:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC) (Joseph Farthing, Phoenix Labs)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pheonix7tq.gif

Image:Pheonix7tq.gif 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

"The fair use of the image, would be that it is a logo of a company, which, not being a product itself that is sold, and instead being a image for the public to identify the company in question. Furthermore, being that the image is on wikipedia, and is not being used for corporate/personal gain, this item should fall under fair use." Use your brains people, and try and figure out explanations, instead of just deleting images, also, good job and keep teaching people, because otherwise they'll stop learning. 70.152.56.75 (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)Chris Hunt70.152.56.75 (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Move/Delete Page

This article and the Phoenix Labs website (http://www.phoenixlabs.org/) haven't been updated in over 10 years.

I'm requesting a deletion or a move to a different URL, due to that inactivity and the fact that Phoenix Labs (formerly MethLabs)

The Wikipedia article for Phoenix Labs should contain information on Phoenix Labs (https://phxlabs.ca/) and active company - a video game developer in Canada.

Or, at least, the url for Phoenix Labs should lead to the video game developer and offer a disambiguation link for the software company, formerly MethLabs. Or, is it possible to create a disambiguation page for Phoenix Labs that lists both companies? Jpowpow (talk) 05:14, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

References

• I suggest to merge this article, Phoenix Labs, into PeerGuardian. Then this article could be – with the appropriate hatnote – repurposed, or usurped, for the game developer. However, before doing that, I recommend to raise this matter at the relevant projects mentioned at the top of this page. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:53, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Makes sense to me. I will raise this there. Thank you. Jpowpow (talk) 21:22, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect information pulled into google search

Searching for Phoenix Labs brings up a Wikipedia console box that has information from this article paired with logos, similar companies, etc that belong to Phoenix Labs the video game developer (a current, actively operating company).

Wikipedia is presenting factually incorrect information here: https://www.google.com/search?ei=kdPHXMe9H9XH-gTOxLWAAQ&q=Phoeix+labs+&oq=Phoeix+labs+&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i13l10.5163921.5164052..5164253...0.0..0.85.146.2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i22i30j0i22i10i30j0i8i13i30.3xikKDcnS_Y — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpowpow (talk • contribs) 06:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia has no control over this process. The information from the article is collated into the box by Google, not Wikipedia. There is a link at the bottom right of the box to report errors to Google. – Teratix ₵ 09:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I see, makes sense. I'm suggesting then, as another user did above, that this page is merged with PeerGuardian due to the lack of a notable subject or citations. This article can either be used as a disambiguation page or used by Phoenix Labs the video game studio.
