You raised a good point on Commodore C64 Games System. I've now corrected the necessary entries along with a few other minor mistakes I noticed in doing so. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 09:43, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SAM Coupé Ports and Buttons

If you click on the image, you'll see that I had already listed the ports and buttons in the image's summary. However, we've said differs slightly. In particular, we seem to disagree on where the mouse port is. I'll check the documentation when I get time. I wasn't aware of the extra audio output either — I've always used the SCART socket for that. StuartBrady 22:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Citadel (Superior Software) loading screen.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Citadel (Superior Software) loading screen.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

[edit] NARC

Yeah, I really don't see what the big deal is. It looks like 90% of video game articles use the same tag and orphanbot isn't dropping in on them. Buzda 01:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genesis -> MegaDrive/Genesis

I'm not mad at you at all, but I am curious as to why you are changing all references to "Genesis" to "MegaDrive/Genesis", and related things. I thought that if an article has one region's usage of a word and it is legit, it shouldn't be changed (e.g. "color" to "colour"). Thanks! -- RattleMan 18:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

My reading of the wikipedia rules is that spellings that are specific to one region shouldn't be changed (or at least, should be kept consistent across an article). Different brand names is quite a different thing. I am generally changing Genesis and Mega Drive to Mega Drive/Genesis for three reasons. Firstly although you and I think it is obvious and know perfectly well that the Mega Drive is the Genesis, not everybody knows this so it is better to give both. Secondly, as the console name varied from territory to territory using just one in a game article could be taken to imply that the game in question came out in only that territory. Thirdly the topic of what to call the article that talks about the console was so incendiary I think it is less likely to cause major disputes if articles are modified to refer to the "Mega Drive/Genesis", mimicing the title of Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis. As that the name has been accepted for that article by the community, I would argue that it is accepted as a label for the console.
Where possible I have tried to simply eliminate specific name mentions. For example, if an article says "Genesis and SNES versions were released. The Genesis version is notable because..." I aim to change it to "Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES versions were released. The Sega version is notable because...". Besides anything else, that just sounds better.
