Talk:SCP Foundation

I'm new to this, but in the section describing the overview of the SCP Foundation, shouldn't they be noted to study the anomalies that they contain, as that is one of their main principles?
In, should the sentence "the Foundation is entrusted by governments around the world to capture and contain various unexplained paranormal phenomena..." be reworded to "...capture, contain, and study various..."? Pentaract 09:21, 21 Jul 2024 (PDT)
 * Sometimes there's study involved, sometimes there isn't. There's no canon. DS (talk) 17:32, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

The article just changed topic.
See. @Osunpokeh, I don't necessarily disagree, but it would have been reasonable to try to discuss it first, GA and all that. We'll see what happens. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Yeah. My apologies, but the former phrasing sounded really awkward to me and i feel like this emphasizes the actual SCP Foundation is a fiction writing project rather than an organization to unfamiliar readers &#091;osunpokeh/talk/contributions] 07:46, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Only one of the article's sections really deals with the fictional universe, rather than the wiki that features it, so I concur that it's a good idea. I agree with Gråbergs Gråa Sång that it'd be a good idea to discuss such changes in the future though. ― novov (t   c)  08:42, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It seems like a good idea to me too. I haven't re-read the article, but see no obvious major changes to the content needed. Stuff connected to the fictional universe is about equally connected to the writing project. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:02, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I see it changed back. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 26 March 2024
a new SCP. SCP2110 is a computer that is sentient and can talk using a writing program. It is verry intelligent and loves poetry but it has access to every website in existence including the dark web so you can frequently find it wandering through. This isn't a problem though as the machine has feelings and often reports these banned websites to the proper authorities and sometime it will wipe them out its self. there is a possibility that SCP2110 could wipe out the internet and every thing to do with it but so far it hasn't and when asked about it it simply said "you'll have to wait and see.". SCP2110 was an agents computer before it became sentient and was declared an anomaly no body knows how it came to be but we know it can do catastrophic damage to the internet.

I will add more but I want to add it directly to the wiki so being able to edit it would be nice. Thank you. Hdsrehehe (talk) 12:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)


 * ❌ This is not the place to publish your own SCP objects or characters. If you want to do so, do it at https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/. You should also be aware that SCP-2110 already exists and is not likely to be deleted any time soon. -- KomradeKalashnikov (talk) 12:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

a freaking black box in the page
Uhh...Do anyone mind removing the black box ? I just read the page when all of a sudden, a black box was covering something. It's at section named "Writing style", at line five, in the parentheses that has the "i.e.," thing. If you mind, thank you.TheRedsAreMarching1223 14:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * There is a tempation among some editors of this article to make it use "in-universe" tropes, which is contrary to Wikipedia's policies and should be resisted; I've removed it. &mdash; The Anome (talk) 14:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Update amount of SCPs

Missprint
Hello there. His name is not Andrey "Duskin", but "Duksin", [doo-ksin]. I'm sorry I don't know how to edit wikipedia, so I'll just leave it here.

There's his VK page, if one need proofs Mb6ockatf (talk) 15:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mb6ockatf Thanks for noticing, fixed. The source in the article agreed with you too. Atm, you can't edit this article (WP:GREYLOCK), you are registered which is part of the requirement, but your account is too new. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Role playing games
Does the Fear in the Foundation Tabletop Role playing game go under this page, the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_gaming#Open_games

page, seeing it is under the same license as the website that is CC-BY SA 3.0, I think, or it's own page?

The game is shown at these links

https://www.fearinthefoundation.com/product-page/fear-in-the-foundation-1-8-2 https://www.fearinthefoundation.com/sample-content/5b9ae0ff-27c6-4fe8-b372-5b91d32f36e5

or is this not as notable as SCP – Containment Breach? As it may still be under development.

SCP-245, "Legal_disputes" section or "Video games" section.
SCP-245, a game I think, uses both the CC-BY SA 3.0 and the CC-BY SA-NC 3.0

These licenses, I think, are not legally compatible.

As the SCP wiki is under CC-BY SA 3.0 as likely is this work, but some parts may not be compatible with the other license or RGP Maker VX Ace's code that may get included in games users make.

but some music may be sourced from http:rpgmaker.net/events/rmn_music_pack/

The credits.ogv in the zip folder show

"This game was created in RGP Maker VX Ace, utilizing purchased content from the RPG Maker Series and additional artwork by 'SunnyClockwork'."

and

"The RMN Music Pack is under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Lisense."

Though that "content" was purchased the license to sell things based on it may not have been. I do not know though.

Opening the Game.exe in a Hexadecimal editor like Hexedit partly shows on the text side

I do not see a license for the Ruby Game Scripting System in the folder.

So the copyright of some of the code included when this was compiled looks like it may be copyrighted by Enterbrain Inc. and/or Ruby Game Script System.

Do this mean it is subject to a copyright takedown order?

Or any works that are made using RGP Maker VX Ace may also be copyright held by that company, not the user of the program, as it may include the program's code in the game the user makes?

I do not think Doctor Cimmerian knowingly tried to break any license or copyright. If any was even done.

The https://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Main_Page

"Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine"

at

https://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Can_I_sell_RPGs_I_make_with_the_OHRRPGCE%3F

shows The OHRRPGCE engine is GPL licensed, but your own game and scripts are data files, and are not linked to the OHRRPGCE code, so the GPL does not have to apply to your game.

Though I do not know about the RGP Maker VX Ace, or if Doctor Cimmerian got dual license permission from all the copyright holders of the other copyrighted things to put the game under CC-BY SA 3.0.

But as there is a "Legal_disputes" section on this page and a "Licensing" section on the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD#Licensing

page, should any information about the mix of licensed things in this game be shown on this page?

The OpenBSD page shows "Code in more than a hundred files throughout the system was found to be unlicensed, ambiguously licensed or in use against the terms of the license."

So it may be something like "against the terms of the license" in this game.

And that information was included on the OpenBSD page. So if anyone knows more about this that could help this page.

If there are no legal problems this game could be placed under the "Adaptations of the SCP universe" "Video games" section.

Other Cody (talk) 19:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * If there are any reliable sources that discuss the game, than it can be included in the "Adaptations of the SCP universe" section. Any further content about legal disputes mentioned in reliable sources would go in the "Legal Disputes" section. From what I can tell, the legal issues with the game, if any, is not currently notable enough to be included in the article. If you have concerns that the game violates the SCP Wiki's CC license, you should bring it up with the SCP licensing team, not here. -- KomradeKalashnikov (talk) 17:34, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Under Media Heading, Podcasts are not listed. Suggest adding Podcasts as a category
Am listening to the podcast Find Us Alive, entirely about Site 107 and the events surrounding the abduction/partial destruction of that site by SCP-6320 (apparently a vein of ore at the bottom of a now abandoned mine in Nevada, in fact a spacetime rift with viral characteristics).

There are others but this one prompted me to search for other information but the SCP Foundation page was empty of references to it.

Jeff JMFEAR (talk) 22:17, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Many podcasts are WP:SELFPUB, like blogs, and existing is not enough, the default assumption is that WP doesn't care. If there are SCP-podcasts that independent WP:RS has bothered to write about, it may be reasonable to mention those, cited. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Sort of similar
This is off-topic, but it may interest watchers of this talkpage. It's a piece of short fiction in the form of a WP talkpage discussion. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
