User talk:Krellion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome!

Hi Krellion, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

[edit] Re: User:Krellion/Userboxes/TiVo

Thanks for your response! Much better to discuss than revert. The link was cut off; it should have been this. Note the "TiVo" logo on the left of the image, and compare that to the logo you created using colored text. While the fonts are slightly different, they are nearly identical. Further, three of the colors used in the userbox are less than 10% different in color from the TiVo logo. The fourth is 30% different. The two versions of the logo are far too close to be considered as separate, independent (for licensing purposes) logos. Yours is a derivative work, and TiVo retains rights. Consider; what do you think TiVo's reaction would be if you created a million t-shirts with your version of the logo and sold them? They would most likely file a lawsuit in rapid fashion. That's what we're trying to protect Wikipedia against. There's a risk with the text version of the logo. For that risk, we are gaining nothing that contributes to our sole goal of creating a free encyclopedia. Hope this helps to clarify things. If not, feel free to ask more questions. --Durin 16:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
