[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Portal Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Portal Logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion on PlayStation 3 (if you look at its FAC, I did miss quite a bit as far as cites go). This is just something I noticed, and it doesn't mean its ok, but Wii is a featured article without that statement (seventh generation of video game consoles) being sourced. Also, I'm pretty sure that the custom of referring to the present video games generation as the "seventh generation" actually originiated with Wikipedia because we needed a name for this gen. After the "32/64 bit era" (PlayStation and Nintendo 64) and the "128 bit era" (PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox), no one knew what to call the present generation (we couldn't do "256 bit era" because that's kind of not true...). I believe "seventh generation" was decided on because of the layout of the History of video games article. If you think we do need a source for that statement, please let me know on my talk page and I'll try to find a cite. Again, thanks for playing the devil's advocate. We do always need one of those. ;-) Thingg⊕⊗ 17:31, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, I'm not 100% positive that here is where that term originated, though I'm about 95% sure. Also, I have seen other websites refer to the present generation as the "seventh generation", so if it becomes a problem, I could probably find another website to back up that claim. Also, the Wii is a Featured Article without having that statement cited, so I don't think it will be a problem. Oh, yeah, and I don't think Wikipedia would qualify as a reliable source. (Ironic yes, but true, I mean, we're proof that anyone can edit it.) Again, thanks for voicing potential objections. If you'd like to vote in PlayStation 3's FAC, click here. Regards.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Portal Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Portal Logo.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Episode 2 logo from Steam.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Episode 2 logo from Steam.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media 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. --Geniac (talk) 18:04, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] iPod classic

Please do not change the article against established consensus. There is a source from which we made the decision to refer to all 1.8" HDD-based iPods as "iPod classic", which you can find a link to in the talkpage. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 17:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
