Question
[edit]I just want to ask what is happening with this template? It has gradually gone from a nice green and gold to what now looks like black and orange with no explanation? I am reverting it back to the green and gold. Cmadler 15:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Logo Use
[edit]@JaMikePA: File:Green Bay Packers logo.svg is a public domain image and is not covered by copyright. Could you please provide a relevant Wikipedia policy that says a public domain image cannot be used in a userbox? Since the use of this logo is not for a commercial purpose, the trademark restrictions don't seem to apply. And lastly, the link you provided in your edit summary seems to imply that the Packers don't want their logo hosted by Commons at all. However, since Commons seems to believe that this logo is not original enough to guarantee copyright status and thus hosts it, it would seem that this disclaimer doesn't apply either. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Tom Danson. Just pinging you to let you know this is here. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 00:55, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- In all sincerity, I could not care less about this userbox, as I am not a fan of userboxes. But so far the only arguments that have been made are that no one else uses a logo and that it is copyrighted (which the file's description makes clear it is not). If anyone has any policy stating that this type of image can't be used in a userbox, or for any other use for that matter, please let me know and I will be so happy to drop this. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 00:57, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Obviously, you cared enough to make the changes and disrupt the pattern. Why not simply create your OWN userbox? Tom Danson (talk) 03:01, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- You know what I really care about? When editors revert good faith edits claiming some policy, when it ends up they have no policy to support them. And instead of bringing the issue to a talk page, they just keep on reverting. I am still waiting for any policy you can provide me to support your position. Or is the reason for your revert that you just don't like my change? That I messed up some pattern? Also, please do not lecture me on civility. I have been nothing but civil this entire time, and clearly asked for the discussion to move from edit summaries to the talk page.

- Trademark infringement covers the unauthorized use of a trademark for monetary gain. Copyright infringement is what the issue is here, and as the image is clearly in the public domain there are no copyright issues. Can we please discuss the issue at hand? Can you please explain to me why you think this image, which is in the public domain, cannot be used for any and all purposes on Wikipedia, so long as there is not misidentification for monetary gain? Do you agree this image is in the public domain? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 03:53, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
