Thanks for posting in Russian wiki

See answer at the discussion page :-). - Zac Allan (talk) 15:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Morethan. If you're interest in translation of some articles in russian wiki, just write in my user talk (better in my russian talk if you want answer to come quick), and i'm sure that it will be good. - Zac Allan (talk) 15:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Chamakh

86.148.101.209 (talk) 20:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC) I notice you've protected the Mourane Chamakh page (quite sensible really, given all the nonsense flying about). However, I'm not sure whether you noticed, but there's still an 'and is joining Newcastle' at the top of the page, which appears to be unsubstantiated.

Free license video game images

Hey Jaco, I've been thinking of making some subpages on the VG Portal for images, similar to Portal:Video games/Featured article; something to add some more variety to the portal. Anyway, I was looking in Category:Ubisoft screenshots, and I thought there were more. Do you happen to have a list of some kind or know where more free license VG images are located, if any? (Guyinblack25 14:47, 28 June 2008 (UTC))

There are a bunch of images here commons:Category:Video game screenshots. JACOPLANE • 2008-06-29 15:51

Awesome. I'll try to get it set up some time next week. Thanks. (Guyinblack25 21:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC))

Update: Hey, I gave it try just now and it looks to be working. I started out with six images Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, Image 4, Image 5, and Image 6. I'll add some more later this today and the rest of the week as I stumble across good ones. Feel free to change them out if you can find some better pictures.

Also, what do you think of changing Portal:Video games/Picture to a list like Portal:Video games/Featured article? (Guyinblack25 15:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC))

Cool, nicely done. I'm kind of busy at the moment but when I have more time I'll look into it. The featured article list is mainly there as a good overview so it's easy to see all the items the portal switches between, so yeah, that would probably be handy. Cheers, JACOPLANE • 2008-06-30 20:21

Something else I wanted to run by you. I just made this page, Portal:Video games/Did you know/March, as an example of something else to add to the portal. Kind of like a "This month is gaming history" or something like that. Anyway, I was going to make one for each month, list about 5-6 interesting items, and set the portal to display for the current month. Any thoughts? (Guyinblack25 16:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC))

I tried to do something similar back in 2006, but I wanted to include the WP:VG community in doing so, but never got much feedback, so I let it go. If you look at the main page DYK: Misplaced Pages:Did_You_Know#The_DYK_Rules, they use only new articles, so perhaps we could do something similar in collaboration with WP:VG/N. It would be a nice way to give a little more prominence to new articles. But anyway, I really applaud you for your overhaul of the portal, it's been on my list of things to do for about a year, but I've just been too lazy to do it. Are you eventually going to try to make this a featured portal? JACOPLANE • 2008-07-2 00:38

Also, maybe we should move this discussion to WT:VG, perhaps merge it with the section where I announced your changes to the portal? JACOPLANE • 2008-07-2 00:40

Well, I don't know if I'm willing to go for a featured portal. My time on here has been very sporadic and I don't have much time to commit to a Featured candidacy. But it would cool.

Anyway, I've been trying to think of ways to add some dynamic content to the portal that is also very low maintenance. I agree that having a "Did you know?" for new VG articles would be good. My only issue with it is that it would require a good deal of participation from the community. If the community can't maintain the process, then the content suffers. Creating content that draws from a pool means that only the "Current events" section needs to be maintained.

And yeah, go ahead and move the discussion to WT:VG. (Guyinblack25 02:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC))

Hey, I did some changes to the portal to add that "gaming history" section and rearranged things a bit. I figured it's better to see this stuff than just talk about it. Let me know what you think and if you think the new section is worth keeping. (Guyinblack25 15:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC))

Thanks for uploading the lower resolution version of that, it was on my "to do" list for today but you beat me to it! :-) --Stormie (talk) 22:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of image for copyright violation

The image you deleted of mine was found on a fan site of the player, under a free image license as they were mostly self developed. I had no idea that it was off the specified website you provided.

Just to clear up something, I didnt state in the description that I took the image completely myself. I did clearly state that it was found on a free photo fan site which other users took and uploaded with a free license. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Domiy (talk • contribs) 23:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Spore (2008 video game)

Hello Jacaplane. There was a report at WP:ANI#Spore (2008 video game) concerning a deletion of yours, but it was quickly stricken since the article was restored.

I just wanted to double-check that everything was okay. Whenever you get a chance, you may want to drop in over there and comment. Thanks a lot. — Satori Son 15:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
