[edit] Image:Castle master-cga.png

You uploaded a new version of Image:Castle master-cga.png. It is visually identical, but with a slightly larger file size. Your summary of the change was "fixed palette to unrounded 8-bit values, added sBIT chunk". I'm not familiar with the PNG specification, what does this mean in? Was the previous version not a strictly valid PNG? boffy_b 14:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, it needs explanation, but I couldn't do the proper link to where it's all summarised. I wanted to link to Image:IBM16_Palette_Map.png (mine, on the Commons). The section "Orthopraxy" should make clear why I uploaded a new version. The changes are: values 54, A8 and FC for the colours are corrected to 55, AA and FF respectively, and an sBIT chunk is added to indicate that the original palette has a 2-bit range. The previous version was a strictly valid PNG (if it hadn't been, the browser couldn't have rendered it - the PNG standard, unlike TIFF, leaves little room for playing around with the internals). Finally, the difference is just a little over 60 bytes, which I think is in our day and age negligible. Sorry for my failure to provide the explanatory link. --Shlomi Tal ☜ 14:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Windows 3.0 workspace.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Windows 3.0 workspace.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images 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. Yamla 15:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additions in the List of palettes article

Hello, I did some improvements to the article List of palettes, that I think you will find fine, I hope. There are new hardware palettes for Amstrad CPC, MSX and MSX2, and the full combinations of the CGA palettes.

I was a professional videogames programmer and graphic designer in the last 80's and early 90's, and I have a lot of info and background on the matter. Some machines I worked with Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC series, MSX, Commodore C-64, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, and IBM PC with Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA, SVGA (256 and 32768 colors) and AT&T Vista, among others. You can find my profile in internet.

Yours,Ricardo Cancho Niemietz 11:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
