Respect given where due:

The Original Barnstar
For dealing so calmly, responsibly, and respectfully in the face of opposition to a pet project. Your behavior through this seems to have modeled the best Wikipedians can hope for, and WP:COMICS will be lucky to have you. ThuranX (talk) 05:08, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Image question

Image:WP logo (2).jpg looks somewhat familiar to me. Would you please help my memory and let me know where it came from? - jc37 21:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I did some searching and they all started by themselves, so I don't see a reason not to start it. So if you want start the page and I will start when the page is up. --DJS24 05:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you'd respond to the message at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Games/related_projects. After the latest reverts I'd really like to know what you're expecting. --Rindis (talk) 06:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Old page

I was wondering if this page is still used for anything? If not, could you blank it and tag it as G7. Thanks. MrKIA11 (talk) 00:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Now that you're back... MrKIA11 (talk) 19:26, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Could you tag it as G7 ({{db-author}})? It would make it much easier for you to do it since you were the only contributer. MrKIA11 (talk) 19:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Xblalogo.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Xblalogo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:02, 23 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaKReply? on my talk page, please 20:02, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Xbox Live logo image

I'm just curios why you changed the Image:Xbox-live-logo.png to Image:Xboxlive_logo.jpg as it seems to me that the new image is inferior to the old one. Actually, the new image is almost identical to another previous image that I touched up to produce the png version. Just wondering. Thingg 05:38, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Spartan logo blue.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Spartan logo blue.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:21, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Nice Page, can you go anymore pink? LOL --DJS24 17:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:WPBannerMeta

Just letting you know that WPBannerMeta is standardising project templates. What was wrong with my edits to {{Xboxp}}? If you didn't want the full quality scale it get be turned off by not enabling a switch. With the WikiProject banners using the META template, it means we can easily update every banner by one edit to the main template, instead of going through every banner and manually doing it. Around 500 banners already use the META template. —Borgardetalk 01:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry for not contacting you, I didn't think it was that controversial, hundreds of banners have been changed to the META one with no complaints. I left a note at the project talk page to see if anyone else wants to see the banner standardised. —Borgardetalk 13:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Blackwatch21 !
I changed the licence of [[:Image:Xboxelitepackage.jpg] to Non-free use rationale, because the bigger part most of the image shows a box with copyrighted covers. I also changed the licence to avid that this image gets uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (which would be done if it only tagged with PD-self), because it would get deleted immediately for being a derevativ work.

Your image request

Remember 6 months ago you requested me to create a barnstar for the Xbox project? Well, I remembered (surprisingly) and just finished making it. Let me know how you like it and if you would like something else done to it. I'm really sorry for taking such a long time. I was looking through my talkpage and saw your post and remembered. The barnstar looks better on a black background, but I'll let you deside how you're going to award it. Check it out -- penubag  (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

You mean a logo similar to Image:Wikihalo.png? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:44, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I'll upload a couple possibilities later this week and ping you so you can use whichever you want. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 00:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Here's the first one (the colors are muted due to an issue with my color profiles, I'll have to recalibrate them so it's more vivid.) Image:Green-gel-x.png --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 04:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, I like David's version above. I did try my hand at it though. See: Image:Xboxlogo custom.png , and Image:Xboxlogo-barnstarbased.png (based off barnstar) -- penubag  (talk) 08:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
I like the "X" with the flames that Penubag created. --DJS24 20:45, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Script in what way? Like a cursive 'X'? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 00:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
How about Image:Xbox-logotype.png this then? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 01:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I'll upload a larger version later tonight or tomorrow. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 02:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

The 2nd logo (barnstar based) won't run into any copyright issues because the power symbol is in the public domain and simply changing the color or adding effects to PD'ed symbols or text does not make it liable for copyright issues. This is a different story for trademarks, but a trademarked symbol is allowed to be used on any page without fair-use rational. -- penubag  (talk) 03:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Okay, I added text to the logos, let me know if there is anything else. -- penubag  (talk) 03:59, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Did you want a copy of the other logo too? The one with the power symbol shouldn't be deleted because of copyright issues; I disagree with this ruling and it should be brought to WP:Deletion Review. PD symbols/text that are merely modified cannot be copyrighted and thus can be used on any Wikipedia/Commons page. -- penubag  (talk) 04:08, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

What are you doing?

Are you going to fix the xbox page or do I have to keep looking at it? --DJS24 15:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Xbox360probox.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 20:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Windows vs "PC"

Please do not replace Microsoft Windows with PC in games - "PC" is an ambiguous term which could refer to many different platforms. Other than that, nice work with the XBLA images! –xeno (talk) 21:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
