Concern about licensing of Image:AmigaOS4b.png

edit

Hiya, I noticed this image when looking up AmigaOS 4, and have a concern about licensing issues. While screenshots of non-free software tend not to be a problem, and are generally counted as "fair use", the image rather prominently displays an image of Crazy Frog as the desktop wallpaper, who (as far as I know) is a copyrighted character... the fair use rationale for AmigaOS obviously cannot apply to Crazy Frog, who is nothing to do with the OS or with the article, so for licensing reasons, it would probably be optimal if you could replace this image with one that was almost identical but with a different wallpaper (something free, or a plain gradient, or something). In fact, for demonstration of the default GUI, the default wallpaper *may* be the most illustrative option. Thanks! Xmoogle (talk) 13:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Unfortunately, I don't have the option to replace the wallpaper so I manually removed Crazy Frog (most of it) from the image. Marko75 (talk) 18:26, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
That works great! I don't think anyone will care legally about the leftover foot in the background :) Thanks! Xmoogle (talk) 19:25, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Template:AmigaOS4

edit

I disagree with having an AmigaOS4-specific template on just about every Amiga-related article. There is an AmigaOS template, which includes information about the 4.x releases. Since there is a specific article about AmigaOS 4, I guess it can make sense to have a template specific for it and for articles that are strongly tied to AmigaOS 4 only, but there is no pointing in filling all Amiga-related article with over-specific information. --LjL (talk) 21:58, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well, you have a point. Here after, I'll put the AmigaOS4 template only on articles that are strongly tied to AmigaOS 4. --Marko75 (talk) 22:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:Amiga Walker Motherboard.png

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Amiga Walker Motherboard.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Pais (talk) 16:00, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Raubtier

The article Raubtier has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only third-party references are blogs.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 01:59, 3 February 2010 (UTC) Reply

Citation is needed for AmigaOne X1000

edit

The article on AmigaOne X1000 lists the specifications for the CPU, but as far as I know, the CPU is still unannounced. While I know that many have investigated the possibility of what it'll be, based on evidence/specs given, the CPU was never directly mentioned and would constitute original research. (unless of course an announcement was made that I happened to miss). Just go ahead and find some citations as soon as ya can. Thanks. —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 08:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

CommodoreOne

edit

I see you added CommodoreOne to list of Amiga clones. What makes this Amiga clone? I can not find information of such.Xorxos (talk) 05:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Where, which article? Marko75 (talk) 18:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
See Template:Amiga_hardware and C-One. Xorxos (talk) 19:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I see... The C-One article mentions it was expanded to include an Amiga core in 2008, and the Natami prototype was based on a C-One mainboard. Marko75 (talk) 16:08, 18 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oh, so it seems... but article lacks references. I tried to look at C-One homepage but couldnt find it. I found this but it only says up to 128MB multimedia memory for graphics, music and copper data. At the bottom: The Copper processor is designed to make adjustments to the video chip 'on the fly' as the video chip draws the screen the copper can be set to activate at specific pixel locations - upon activation it can modify the video registers with new values. This is how split screen, layered screen and/or mixed video effects are so easy on the Amiga. The Copper command list has three commands 'Wait for Raster Value', 'Skip Function if Event,' and 'Store Value to Register'. but I dont see claim it is compatible to Amiga Copper.Xorxos (talk) 17:08, 18 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, how compatible C-One is with 68k software I can not say, and where to draw the line if it's a clone or not is debatable, I think. However, I'm neutral to if C-One should still be included in the template. Marko75 (talk) 17:32, 18 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Raubtier.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Raubtier.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC) Reply

Replaceable fair use File:AmigaOne Micro-A1.png

If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
