Talk:Title screen

{{specialize}}

I added this tag because the article seems to only be about video games title screen, but television shows (especially cartoon shows) that are made up of shorts have title screens to introduce the episodes. Anthony Rupert 15:38, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, there should be info about non-game title screens as well. At the moment Title screen redirects here (to Title screen (gaming)) which is a redundant disambiguation. I'm proposing moving it back to just Title screen and expanding it with non-game information. Alternatively, multiple articles could be created, but that seems overkill for this topic. --Mepolypse (talk) 21:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bayou Billy.png

Image:Bayou Billy.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 Wikipedia articles 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 02:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Gyruss.png

The image Image:Gyruss.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Title screen (gaming) → Title screen — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC) Move target is redirect to source, which makes it a redundant disambiguation. As noted on the talk page, the article should be expanded with information about non-game title screens as well (TV shows, especially cartoons). --Mepolypse (talk) 21:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose build a new article at title screen about all types of title screens, with a {{main}} referencing the more specific videogame article. 76.66.194.212 (talk) 05:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
• Comment: I think that the proper term for the introduction and ending sequences of movies (including short films, like cartoons) and television shows is 'title card, not 'title screen. Although Wikipedia does have a page named "title card", that is actually a redirect to intertitle. I have never seen "title card" used to refer to the cards in old silent movies (and some newer movies and television shows) that narrate domething in the picture or show details about something. IU have heard "title card" being used to refer to the opening and closing pictures and credits at the beginning and end of a motion picture. So what I suggest, is that we remove the redirect at Title card, replacing it with a proper article on what "title screen actually deals with (the opening and closing pictures of a motion picture), and only move the Title screen (gaming) article if there are no other notable uses for the term (outside of motion pictures and television shows). Regards. --[|Retro00064|☎talk|✍contribs|] 08:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
• Support. As far as video gaming is concerned, it is called title screen. Current title is unnecessary dab, as video game usage is indeed primary topic. Currently, whether the topic will or will not be expanded beyond video gaming does not matter. If it is, then we can discuss a name more suitable for all media variants. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:50, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
