[edit] Lolo images

Thanks for uploading all the drawings of characters from the Adventures of Lolo games. I notice they currently don't have image copyright tags. Could you add one to let us know their copyright status? For example, if these are your own drawings and you would like to release them under the GFDL you can use {{gfdl}}, if you claim fair use you can use {{fairuse}}, and so on. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Dave6 19:35, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Chu Shogi

Simply outstanding work on the Chu Shogi article (I was beginning to think I was the only other person on earth who'd ever played that game!) My one gripe is that you used too many HTML-style tables and now the article is write-only. The compact format {| ... |} style would have served the article better. It's not too late, is it? --Ardonik.talk()* July 3, 2005 10:56 (UTC)

[edit] Shogi variants

Hi Sivak,

I've had the idea of doing other shogi variants (at least Tenjiku) on the back burner, but I can't claim credit for all these articles. Looks like JTTyler is the one to thank. I'm merely cleaning them up. For now, correcting the pronunciations, which were just guesswork. And there are a couple errors in placement and promotions. Haven't confirmed the moves yet. And no, I haven't actually played any of these games above chu, except against myself!

Glad you're enjoying them, though.

[edit] Go equipment article

Hi Sivak-san,

Well, for me, I've paused for a bit on it. I could add more, but I don't have time to assemble additional info on it. You can go into more detail than I have, it would further the articles usefulness.

[edit] Image at Draconian

You have listed no source for this image, and I believe it is copyrighted material from one of the D&D rule books. Please either confirm that this is copyrighted material (which will be deleted, as this isn't a fair use case) or give a source and license. Thanks. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 19:36, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Lolo Images

Sorry I didn't reply earlier to your question about the images for the Eggerland series, which would apply to images in general. Wikipedia and all their other related websites (such as WikiBooks) want to know the copyright status of anything that you upload to their servers to make sure that you aren't infringing on anyone else's rights.

I saw that Dave6 posted earlier, on December 15th, and asked you to list this information, but you probably didn't know what he was talking about.

In regards to manual scans, they tend to generally fall under the Fair Use category, so you would type the word "fairuse" between {{}}. Likewise, any screenshots would be listed as "screenshot", so you would do the samething, listing it as a screenshot template in the same manner. If you still have the images you can upload them back and put that info on the page with them, and if not you can get them from my WikiBook, which is linked to from the page.

To answer your other question, yes, I have posted on "King Egger and Pleasant Friends" before and they are some nice people. Goryomae was the nice Japanese fellow who auctioned on Revival! Eggerland for me since it was on Yahoo! Auctions Japan and would not ship outside Japan and shipped it to me and I payed him the money (this was back in early 2004).

I'm glad to hear you are working on an Eggerland clone of your own, and I have been working on some pretty interesting custom levels with Revival lately...When I finish them I could send them to you, and I would be interested in seeing your clone one day.

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Eggerland2-BoxArt.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 10:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hangul

Hi Sivak,

Katakana is not used in Korea, or at least it hasn't been since WWII, except perhaps when marketing to Japanese.

The u of "Hangul" doesn't occur in English. The normal English pronunciation is probably hang'-gool, with the oo of good. The Korean is [han.gɯl].

Well, gotta go. kwami 04:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smiling is Good!

Tingle has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}} or {{subst:smile2}} to their talk pages. Happy editing!

[edit] Curse of the Azure bonds screenshot

Hello,

I know I played at least two old D&D DOS games that had images of the Forgotten Realms evil god Bane. Since you were able to get a screenshot from such a game, I was wondering if you could get the old screenshot of the 1st edition appearence of Bane as per my talk page request. His appearence differed greatly from the 3rd edition artist depiction of him (which are the only ones you can find online anywhere). Best regards. 67.5.157.186 06:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
