Talk:List of Star Control races

message: There are a few races whose article actually got deleted. Two examples are Gg and Lk. I am not sure if it is legal to recover them from Wayback Machine. --Voidvector 01:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I just checked Gg (Star Control) and Lk (Star Control) and they were deleted for being a copyright violation, with no "clean" versions; they need to be rewritten from scratch. Bryan Derksen 07:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Now I've checked all the other redlinks on the table I just brought over from Star Control, and they were all deleted as copyvios as well. Nothing salvageable, alas. Bryan Derksen 08:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Damn. I knew that there were a lot of copyvios in these articles awhile ago, people copy and pasting from The Pages of Now and Forever. Andre (talk) 09:28, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I've asked for some uninvolved input from Wikipedia:Content_noticeboard#List_of_Star_Control_races_and_verifiability. Hopefully we don't get the same people who were involved at the AFD. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: So... what's the issue?  Given that the list is based on a fictional franchise, what is there which cannot be sourced to the primary sources themselves? Everything must meet WP:V, of course, but for fictional elements, primary (self-published) sources are fine to establish the basic facts. Such references don't establish individual list element notability since they aren't secondary sources, but they don't need to per WP:NNC. Jclemens (talk) 01:17, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of minor characters in Dilbert or List of paracetamol brand names.
So its fine.  The items are this list had many independent articles before they were all merged together.  Dream Focus 01:44, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

message: This list would be great if there were pics of each race. Anyone know if this is possible under fair use perhaps? Was this game released as PD? (I'm a huge fan btw, I fondly remember playing the game) -- œ™ 06:26, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

The game was released under the GPL and I believe the images themselves are CC-Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike or something like that. But check out the Ultronomicon.

replies: text: Could you re-upload them? Or is there no way under the image use policy which would allow usage? -- œ™ 01:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: CC-by-nc-sa is a pretty restrictive license. I think we don't like the nc part of it. Andrevan@ 02:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Should the "Non-playable" subsection of the "Introduced in Star Control II" section be broken down into further subsections? Doing so would make it easier to edit. And by the way, what does this "-*" thing there mean? JIP | Talk 20:34, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
