[edit] Logo

Someone has deleted our logo. His name can be seen on the images page. I already asked him why and am waiting for a respond.--Playstationdude 17:10, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

the page really needs a logo, i cant find a decent PS logo but you can use this if you like(its not great, stop-gap maybe :)) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Playstation-temp.jpg John.n-irl 07:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't need a logo. Just edits to PS articles. - X201 09:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I would use that logo that John.n-irl has, but it breaks copyrights. I'm trying to question why that guy deleted the first one.--Playstationdude 12:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I have restored it, but can someone please clean up the situation? It is tagged as {{logo}}, which is reserved for non free content. I was told the image is genuinely free, made from scratch without use of copyrighted content. If so, please choose an appropriate free license ({{GFDL}} or {{cc-by-sa}} for example) and update the image page accordingly. Миша13 13:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parental Control

I watch DVDs in my PS2, and it has this message on some DVDs (e.g. Madagascar) asking if I would like to temporarily switch to 'Parental Control 8'. Is there any way to turn this feature off?

Abluescarab 05:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

"When it asks for a password, press select, then enter 7444 as a password. that will reset the password. Then, enter a new passcode. To can also, using the parental level menu, Change the level to anything you want, or turn it off." [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrKIA11 (talk • contribs) 05:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I tried it out, and it worked! I was surprised at that! But I am finally able to watch movies over a G rating without getting that annoying message!

[edit] Image:PS3.jpg pending deletion

Hi, I'm a sysop from Commons. The PS3 picture used in your userbox is pending deletion as a copyvio. Can you please replace it quickly? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 10:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Can someone with experience make a photo themselves if this doesn't get resolved?--Playstationdude (talk) 00:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you could use Image:Playstation3vector.svg (a SVG rendition) instead of Image:PS3.jpg? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 12:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
We'll give it a try.--Playstationdude (talk) 00:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shortcut?

Greetings, fellow Wikipedians. I have noticed that there is an entry for this WikiProject in the Project shortcuts directory, labelled "none". If there is no shortcut for the project, the entry ought to be deleted, so I should like to ask you whether you intend to create a shortcut for WikiProject PlayStation. If not, then the entry can be safely removed. Regards, Waltham, The Duke of 15:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

wp:tpsp is it.--Playstationdude (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Splendid. And I see that it has been fixed already, so... I shall leave you in peace.
After a last suggestion, that is: you could add a shortcut box in your main page, which would be helpful to people coming here often. Unless, of course, it doesn't match with the page. Waltham, The Duke of 14:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I added {{project|WP:TPSP}} to the main page, per your suggestion, though I am not a member of this project. Dreaded Walrus t c 15:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, if they like it, they will keep it. If not, they will remove it. In any case, my work here is done. Thank you all for your feedback. Waltham, The Duke of 16:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Playstation Home Page

Can someone request semi-protection for this page? I'd do it but I don#t know how and the frequency of vandalism and misinformation is staggering. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 23:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New logo?

Image:Wikiproject PlayStation logo.png

I made this logo and I was wondering what you all thought about it. Do you want to use it as our logo? Thingg⊕⊗ 18:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I was think of something more of a icon that would work as reconizable when small.--Playstationdude (talk) 20:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

How about this:Image:Psproject.JPG--Playstationdude (talk) 20:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I like it. Thingg⊕⊗ 22:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article

I added a nomination for the PS3 article to be the featured article of the day on March 23 (European release). To comment, look here.--Playstationdude (talk) 00:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Where is it. I can't see it on the page you mentioned. It mentioned Chrono Trigger, but that is not on 23 March--w_tanoto (talk) 02:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
From the top of the page, in bold: "There may be no more than five requests on this page at any time". By adding the PlayStation 3 suggestion, the number of requests increased to six. Hence, it was removed again (twice). See the history. Dreaded Walrus t c 02:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I'll wait until the list cuts down and place it back on there.--Playstationdude (talk) 22:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dylan Jobe/projects

Could someone try to make a Dylan Jobe page, because he is highly respected by all warhawkers and i tried to make one a while back but it got deleted because it didn't have enough info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonapello22 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Who? How is a person playing Warhawk notable enough? Also please stop trying to remove CSD tags from that article. Strongsauce (talk) 03:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Apparently Dylan Jobe is the producer of the game. While game producers can be notable, Dylan Jobe does not seem to fit the bill and will be deleted if no reason can be given.Strongsauce (talk) 03:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Did you even read the article??? He is the LEAD DESIGNER!!!! Not some warhawk player. Jonapello22 (talk) 03:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Still not notable. Also stop recreating the article. You are probably going to get blocked soon if you continue to recreate deleted articles. Strongsauce (talk) 03:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course, you're right, the lead designer on the biggest multiplayer game of 2007 isn't important at all, ok i apologize, jeez, when did wikipedia turn into noob zone. Not notable, sheesh. Jonapello22 (talk) 03:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

If you think he is notable then reply with an article about why he is notable instead of constantly trying to readd a deleted article. Feel free to continue what you are doing but it will just end up in another block for you. Please read the rules of Wikipedia instead of trying to whine your way into getting this article added. Strongsauce (talk) 03:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Also I really doubt the game was the biggest multiplayer game last year. Even if that were true that does not make the lead designer notable. Maybe the reason you cannot find enough content for the article is that, for better or worse, he just isn't notable outside the Warhawk community? Strongsauce (talk) 03:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Since when did you get to say which articles don't exist?--Playstationdude (talk) 22:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, since when? I'm not even sure what you're trying to imply. Strongsauce (talk) 23:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
You just seem very extreme against this article considering...who cares if exists or not? If someone wants to learn about Dylan Jobe they can visit the article. If they don't, they can just not visit it. I checked out why it was deleted and I think Jonapello22 just needs to do some research and the article will be fine. Dylan didn't only do Warhawk. He has had a hand in War of the Monsters and some stuff with Insomniac Games.--Playstationdude (talk) 00:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I have no idea who Dylan Jobe is and whether or not he deserves an article. I couldn't care less either way. What I had objections was the editor, Jonapello22, trying to stop people from following Wikipedia's policy then getting mad when I don't know who this guy is.
Since the history page for Dylan Jobe has been deleted and no evidence remains of Jonapello22's edits: He creates the Dylan Jobe article with a very basic sentence, someone put up an request for a speedy deletion on it. Jonapello22 promptly blanked the page and got into a revert war to remove the db template. Eventually the article was deleted but not before he came here asking for help on the article. I went to check on it only to see that Jonapello had been reverting people's edits on the page. After the article was deleted (by an admin citing notability issues), he promptly tried to recreate it with the same exact sentence. Never during this time did I try to get the article deleted. I had made one edit to that article which was to revert the removal of the db template. If you look at his block page[3] you will see this editor has been blocked before for edit warring which leads me to believe that he hasn't bothered reading up on any kind of policies regarding what should be placed into as an article. His lack of maturity in his posts seem to bolster my belief about this. [4][5]
If you read the rest of my replies to him, you can see that I am not against the article but mainly this editor's poor attitude and lack of civility. If he wants this article to exist then he should add more than "Dylan Jobe made Warhawk" to the article.
Also note when he came in here asking for help the Dylan Jobe article was actually still up. Apparently he figured that the db template meant that the article was already deleted. Strongsauce (talk) 16:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

To Strongsauce: Ok. I never knew he just put up one sentence. When I checked out the arcticle, it was already deleted.

To Jonapello22: Wait until you have a strong paragraph in a word document before you make the article.--Playstationdude (talk) 20:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Umm, thanks for calling me immature i guess??? I just need help with Dylan Jobe's page, i don't need a whole discussion

about this, please help me either that or someone else make it.

[edit] PlayTv

Hey, i need someone to make a page with the details on playtv, it's like dvr for ps3.

[edit] Sony Online Entertainment

If anyone would be interested in a Sony Online Entertainment task force please add your name below this comment.--Playstationdude (talk) 19:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess nobody.--Playstationdude (talk) 02:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, what did you have in mind exactly? john.n-irl (talk) 03:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Just a task force for the games and studios under sony online entertainment. It seemed like a broad topic that could use the extra attention, but I guess nobody is really interested.--Playstationdude (talk) 21:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project page

At first, I was eager to join as I own a PS2 and a PS3 (80 Gb) consoles, but I found quite difficult to find things in the project page and confusing the displacement of the page. So, I would like to suggest a new page layout to the project. Also, I think this project is big enough so that we can make use of this. --Kalel (talk) 14:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I would be inclined to agree, the new layout seems more accessible. john.n-irl (talk) 19:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I like it, but keep the scroll boxes for the good and featured articles at the bottom.--Playstationdude (talk) 21:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Also add a task force headline on the sidebar.--Playstationdude (talk) 21:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I worked on the project's layout to make it easier to find something without scrolling.--Playstationdude (talk) 01:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics

I've added some useful tools in our project scope. --Kalel (talk) 12:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

This should be updated every other day. Next week should reflect our reality. --Kalel (talk) 19:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I just want to comment that Category:Unassessed PlayStation articles and Category:FA-Class PlayStation articles also exist and there probably also parallel ones for the others. Get a bot to fix all this. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
6 articles in Category:GA-Class PlayStation articles which aren't listed here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, that was fun. All fixed now, I think. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lost Planet

I've replaced the old Xbox cover with a PS3 cover.Seanor3 (talk) 17:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Why?--Playstationdude (talk) 21:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

It dosen't really matter anyway, its been taken off I have another Xbox 360 box cover without the only on Xbox 360 logo I will upload that, it may help show that it is no longer 360 exclusive.Seanor3 (talk) 15:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PlayStation Portable unprotected

This is just a heads up. I asked for PlayStation Portable to be unprotected for anonymous users, so you'll want to keep a closer eye on it. Enjoystory (talk) 22:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization for article by importance

Can someone decide on which capitalization to use for articles by importance? Here is what we have:

Thanks. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:52, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The incorrect capitalization also extends to the quality scale categories as well. Pagrashtak 20:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Is this project still active? The above problems have existed for over a month, which I would think would be noticed by an active project. Other than these warnings, this discussion page has not been edited for nearly a month. Pagrashtak 20:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
This project is pretty active. People just seem to respond to things they find more interest in, and capitalization doesn't seem that fun, but your right, it should be handled. I think the categories to the right are correct.--Playstationdude (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Just pick a capitalization (make sure the article qualities follow those as well) and have a bot fix the entire mess. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Done. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks.--Playstationdude (talk) 01:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Calling all cars!

I've added some information to the page if anyone wants to have a look.

Nebuchandezzar (talk) 17:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks good, just add some refs in the gameplay section.--Playstationdude (talk) 20:34, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:WikiProject PlayStation articles

I proposed to rename this category to Category:WikiProject PlayStation here. MrKIA11 (talk) 12:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
