List of Xbox 360 games
Before remove any game from the list, discuss first. When I add a game in the list, it's based on Gamespot or IGN news or simply presence in these sites lists. --Mateusc 16:40, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Images
When you add box art over an image, please don't "delete" it. Consider adding it to a gallery like I did in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. Thanks. Thunderbrand 04:33, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Don't forget
To add a tag to images, such as Image:Pdz boxshot.jpg. I've had to tag ones you uploaded myself before, and next time I will just delete it until you learn. Thunderbrand 02:21, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360
Pleas DO NOT remove a game from the entire list just because it has been removed from the North American list. For example you remove the entire listing for Freedom Fighters (yes I know that was about 2 weeks ago) since it was pulled from the North American list, but it was never removed from the European list.

Thanks for the massive update of widescreen information on the BC list. I wasn't sure if anyone understood what the column is for, let alone populate it so thoroughly. Cheers! Qube AU (talk) 03:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Pdz boxshot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pdz boxshot.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vic Vipr TC 21:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:N3box.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:N3box.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kameo boxart.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kameo boxart.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 14:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Necrophagistonset2004.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Necrophagistonset2004.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. ''The main reason I reverted your addition to the PlayStation 3 article was not actually because it was original research, but because it suggested that the change in process size alone was enough to cause a two pound drop in weight... which any computer scientist or electrical engineer should be able to tell you it is not. Thanks for understanding!'' Khalfani  Khaldun  19:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Re4boxart.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Re4boxart.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  04:47, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
