  • We can't use multiple English styles in a single report. Featured content consistently uses British English. In theory. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:02, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Vchimpanzee - you are allowed to edit it. Hafspajen (talk) 16:14, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Sometimes, though, it's not obvious that the edit should be allowed. Like "labour violations".— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:39, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I look at it again and I feel like there's a very specific meaning intended by the writer, and changing it would change the meaning. It's not clear which should be changed.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:41, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

"because I'm tired of black boxes when we feature images of video game consoles."

I think what Adam means is, since I know he was the one who wrote that, everytime there's a new Featured Picture about a video game console, its usually one that's in the color black. Like the PS4, Sega Genesis, or the ColecoVision. Just a popular color for consoles usually. Though using the Japanese version of the Saturn was a nice idea, all things considered.

Ah okay it was kinda confusing, thanks! — Cirt (talk) 15:09, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. The North American version was another black box, and we've shown so many black-boxed game consoles in the last year... Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
