Orphaned non-free media (File:Grand Theft Auto V box art.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Grand Theft Auto V box art.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:15, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Guitar Hero Edge 10
Hiya! I noticed you added Guitar Hero to the list of games that've gotten a 10 in Edge, sourcing it to this article. It seemed a bit off to me though (I don't remember it happening), so did a bit of digging, and both Metacritic and Gamerankings both have Edge giving it 8/10. I'm pretty sure the linked Edge article is a misprint, but thought I'd give you my reasoning. Fin©™ 09:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Game Maker vandalism
Well I see User:Jaymd 123 is at it again with readding the content to Game Maker literally copied verbatim from advertisements violating Wikipedia:COPYVIO. I have tried warning him again on his User_talk:Jaymd 123. I have also traced the IP address logged in before he registered that was making similar edits, it was Special:Contributions/86.177.1.229 and traces Edinburgh, UK and that is right near where YoYoGames the creator's of Game Maker are headquartered. Should we file a clerk check for possible sockpuppetry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.167.249 (talk) 17:32, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm unable to provide a reliable reference for SCE Liverpool's contribution to the project, other than to say I worked on it and you can find a few people reference it on LinkedIn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.69.153.184 (talk) 08:21, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for taking care of True Crime
I'd like to thank you for taking the burden of not letting Slepping Dogs as a game in the True Crime series. Some users (although I have a major suspicion it is always the same user) keep on adding Sleeping Dogs. I have told the user multiple times to.discuss about status of Sleeping Dogs in True crime but to no avail. I think it will be better to have the article permanently locked by admins so only registered users can edit it. As you have said Sleeping Dogs is ofcourse related to but not a part of True Crime video game series. Also Sleeping Dogs has a franchise of it's own now. KahnJohn27 (talk) 21:10, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

- Its not whether its true or not. Its the fact that whether a file download is working or not, is information that Wikipedia editors have decided is unsuitable. - X201 (talk) 12:08, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Kinect Sports style
While Rare is physically based in the UK, they're owned by an American company and their website is rareusa.com. Additionally, all other Rare games I checked (with the exception of the Kinect Sports franchise, due to its vigilant maintenance) use the mdy format over dmy. It would seem to me that the articles' national ties (and that of Rare's games themselves) are thus much closer to America and its style standards than Britain's, so I kindly request that you undo your revert on Kinect Sports Rivals. czar · · 15:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- The ownership of the company isn't an issue, (we would need to change all of Sony's external development companies in the US, UK and elsewhere if it was). Video game article's, just like books, follow the nationality of the author. Just because other articles about Rare's titles have been incorrectly created with US English/date format does not mean this article is incorrect or should be changed. The company's website is rare.co.uk, the rareusa.com website is actually the same website, the company page of the rareusa.com states "our custom-built rural HQ in the English Midlands.". Rare is a UK developer and therefore its articles should reflect this. I would be grateful if you do not revert my edits, however, should you still disagree with this, please open a discussion at WT:VG and ask the Wikipedia Video games project for its opinion. - X201 (talk) 15:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- Right, I'm contending that Rare is based in the UK but follows American conventions in their titles, and not suggesting that any major overhaul is necessary for other devs. I also wasn't planning on reverting anything more than once, which is why I brought it here. I thought this would be an easy agreement, but since it isn't and I lack the time to pursue this further, I have to leave it be with your change.

Changing the capitals title to non-capitals
Hey sorry, we keep seeming to change each other's edits. Why do you keep changing the company name INEOS back to Ineos? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.140.136.154 (talk) 12:20, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, Its because of Wikipedia's style guide for Trademarks and names (MOS:TM). It states that articles should "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official"" e.g. Ineos should be in lower case rather than using what appears to be the company's preferred style of INEOS. Hope this helps. Happy editing. - X201 (talk) 12:27, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
OK I see what you mean. But INEOS is more of an acronym rather than just a preferred title. Standing for INspec Ethylene Oxide and Specialities, as seen in the company's most recent magazine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.140.136.154 (talk) 12:33, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, it wasn't in the article and I couldn't find anything on the company website. Hang on. Will fix it. - X201 (talk) 12:37, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Editing of gta series
Hi,
I understand not to switch Chinatown Wars with The Ballad of Gay Tony, but you have to include the download platforms on the games section of the article. As it says on the wikipedia pages of GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories, they are each avalible for PSN(Playstation Network) and GTA San Andreas is for both PSN and XBLM(Xbox Live Marketplace). So please keep the download platforms of the games on the games section of GTA Series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.13.18.242 (talk) 00:00, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for discussing this. As the discuss relates to the appearance of the article I think its better if we continue the discussion there. I have added my reply there so that others who edit the article can comment as well. - X201 (talk) 07:59, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Deletion discussion about Marketing for Grand Theft Auto V
Hello, X201,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Marketing for Grand Theft Auto V should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marketing for Grand Theft Auto V .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Green Cardamom (talk) 01:52, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
