[edit] GSC Game World permission

Hi, you may want to add GSC Game World permission (see its template), which allows usermade screenshots under GFDL, to this resource page. Cheers, Jean-Fred (talk) 19:47, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talk Page Archived

Okay. Since the page was growing too large, I decided to archive it. IF you wish to continue an old discussion, please continue them here. Thanks!  Dylanlip  (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Worms World Party images marked for deletion

The images Image:Worms weapons and tools menu.png (used in Worms (series)) and Image:Worms World Party screenshot.png (used in both Worms World Party and Worms (series)) have been marked for deletion. I have tried to improve the articles per the deletionists' comments. Perhaps you could drop in your two cents for the images, too? The deletion discussions are here and here. —ZeroOne (talk / @) 08:41, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Coleco Donkey Kong.png

Image:Coleco Donkey Kong.png has been nominated for deletion at WP:FFD

[edit] Debate - English Language Cover Art - First Uploaded vs. Most Recognizable/ First Country with English Language

There is a discussion going on in the Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride talk page about the box art. The first one posted was for the AU version of the game, but the first area to receive an English port was North America. The significance about this is that the NA release of the game has the full title of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride on the cover, whereas the other version has the title of Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride. Can someone comment on how this should be resolved? The rules seem to contradict in this case. Should the AU one that came out later remain, or should it be replaced with the NA version? 72.237.4.150 (talk) 18:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Stick with the first uploaded. With two names there are always going to be "wrong" versions of the cover. So stick with the first uploaded and mention the differences in the article. - X201 (talk) 19:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Arcade Game Images

This is related to an archived question which was never answered.

For arcade games, what is the best type of image to use for the infobox? The guidelines vary between explicitly asking for box-art and asking for any kind of identifying image.

There's several different ways to identify these games. In general, which of the following is the most preferred? What are the exceptional conditions?

• Photo of the physical arcade machine
• Photo or scan of a flyer for the game
• Screenshot of the title screen
• ...?

-- Senthryl (talk) 14:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Note: This question has turned into a debate at the parent project. Please head over there and discuss. Thanks! — Senthryl ^(talk) 20:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

After the above debate was archived it has been restarted on the parent project again here. AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 11:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Amount of images in an article

If this article were to be considered a good article, which images from the Gameplay and Synopsis sections would need to go? VG Editor (talk) 10:40, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Images not refreshing/updating/whatever

I uploaded new boxarts for Jade Empire and Way of the Samurai 3. Why are they not showing on the article but show fine on the image page itself? --Mika1h (talk) 21:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Apparently the pixel size has something to do with it, since both were at 250px and when I changed to anything but that, they worked. --Mika1h (talk) 21:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Crash Time screenshot

I am struggling to find a suitable gameplay screenshot for use at Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit for Xbox 360. If anybody knows how to best obtain one I have the game but don't really know how to generate a screenshot. I am looking for advice really.
