[edit] License tagging for Image:SinkOrSwinSNES.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SinkOrSwinSNES.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:BugByte-SavagePond.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:BugByte-SavagePond.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat 12:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orion games were not for the Coco

...which should be obvious given that they predate it! Maury 17:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image use

Per WP:NFCC item #8, we do not permit the use of fair use images in galleries such as you have attempted on Acorn Electron. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Simple reversion is not acceptable and would violate policy. Thank you, --Durin 22:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Decision after decision after decision after decision after decision after decision after decision after decision has ruled against the use of such galleries. I am reverting this change and reporting it to WP:AN/I. I cautioned you against simple reversion. --Durin 01:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Reported. Thank you, --Durin 01:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
(Response from ANI) Whether you agree with Durin or not, reverting his edits won't accomplish anything. He is right that galleries of nonfree images have been removed from other articles already. You will need to discuss the issue if you want to argue for keeping them on the Acorn Electrion article; the main discussion forum for questions about nonfree media is WT:NONFREE. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thanks for Pipeline

Hi RJ, hope this reaches you, I'm replying to your comment about Pipeline (and this too is "Blatant abuse of the Wiki User talk page", hope no-one notices). Thanks very much for your comments about the game (and for your constructive edits of the page). I'm delighted whenever someone says they enjoyed it, more and more so as time goes on. I don't write games these days (though I do drop in on game developer conferences every now and then, and occasionally bump into coder heroes from the 8-bit days, like Jeff Minter). I do write programs still, but they are scientific ones (computational biology) -- see biowiki.org which is my group's website. All the best...
