replies: text: Note: technically most government logos are NOT public domain, for the same reason that the Wikipedia logo is not in the public domain or GFDL (so that it isn't legal for other people to impersonate them or sell things with their logo on it). So I'm changing the license status. Not a big deal though. --Fastfission 02:08, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't this be tagged public domain. while a lot of government logo's are not public domain, works of the US Federal Government are. Per my reading of WP:PD this should be public domain surely. I see other US federal government logos/seals tend to be tagged this as public domain  YDAM TALK 22:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on who created it; see United States copyright law#Works by the federal government, which, quoting 17 U.S.C. § 105 says that "the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it".  Thus, if the logo was created by, say, a private graphic design firm under a contract for the government, then it may be copyrighted.  Only if it was created by someone directly employed (not as a contractor) by the government will it be automatically in the public domain.  I don't know how many graphic designers the U.S. government directly employs, or even if they have any, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they turned to a private contractor for a job like this.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 16:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stone Sling

message: The description of the background as "a colorful enviroment with yellow walls, green valleys, blue mountains, and a bright blue river in between the two fortresses", while matching the picture included in the article, does not seem to be accurate.  Actual screenshots, such as those featured here  and here , do not show such detail.  Moreover, such resolution seemed far beyond the Odyssey²'s capacity.  Is it possible that the picture in the article is of an overlay, such as those produced for the original Odyssey, which could have been affixed to a television screen?
===Update===
According to an article on GameSpy's ClassicGaming website, updated versions of many classic games were to be made for the Odyssey³ console, the successor to the Odyssey² which never made it to the United States but was released in Europe as the Philips Videopac + G7400.  These games would incorporate highly detailed background graphics which could be viewed on the newer console but would merely appear like the older versions on the Odyssey².  Some of the highly detailed screenshots taken from Dieter Koenig's website which accompany Wikipedia Videopac game articles are screenshots of the updated games made for the Philips Videopac + G7400.  Koenig comments that the "Screenshots were taken from real G7000/G7400 machines using a Hauppauge WinTV Theater tuner card."

message: When will the Proffitt's store be turned in to Belk?
: We now know that the Proffit's location became Belk on March 8, 2006.  But as long as former Saks/Profitt's Inc. properties are being mentioned, I'm curious about the fate of McRae's — one of the mall's original anchors.  In reading over this article, it's the only original anchor I can't reconcile with the current lineup. Is it currently vacant, or was it redeveloped as general mall space? — ArkansasTraveler 15:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: How is the expansion progressing at the original Parisian anchor space, now the mall's primary Belk anchor?  My first reaction to seeing notes of such plans was the thought that Belk may be looking long-term to consolidate its Riverchase operations into one space, likely leaving the Pizitz/McRae's anchor space available yet again. Such a scenario could pave the way for Dillard's to enter the Birmingham market, assuming Dillard's is in decent financial shape by that point (say, by 2011). — ArkansasTraveler (talk) 15:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The correct name of this treaty is the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty (note the en dash, –, rather than the hyphen, -, between Hay and Bunau; see Dash). Even if it is to be incorrectly written regarding dashes, "Bunau Varilla" should at least be written as "Bunau-Varilla" so the treaty would be called the "Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty." //MrD9 03:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

message: "The events of Martyrs' Day are considered to be a significant factor in the U.S. decision to negotiate the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties, which finally abolished the Hay-Bunau Varilla Treaty and allowed the gradual transfer of control of the Canal Zone to Panama and the handover of the full control of the Panama Canal on December 31, 1999." This sentence is Panama-centric and violates NPOV rules, as the words "Martyrs' Day" are a loaded term and are not used by Americans (the other belligerents in the events of this day.) Could someone please revise this article so that the words "Martyr's Day" only appear in the sentence explaining that this day is called "Martyr's Day" in Panama? Thank you.

The following statement, "Her latest awards are the Maritime Warfare Excellence Award, the Engineering/Survivability Excellence Award, the Command and Control Excellence Award, the Logistics Management Excellence Award..." is in error in that all of these, and many others, are categories within the Battle "E" award. 
Then it says she was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for her performance during her 1992-1994 Mediterranean deployment. In fact, she was awarded 3 Meritorious Unit Commendations. The author of this section needs to get the dates and facts right.
