Talk:Subway Builder

Article

I'm going to pick up this draft and put some work into it. I think it has potential for an article. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 15:09, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Screenshot

I'll try to get a screenshot of this game to use in the article and try my wings with non-free images. Should be ready by next week. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 00:01, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

 Done I've just added the screenshot. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 03:20, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

English counties

@Starbeam2: Per WP:ENGPLACE, Where disambiguation is required, [[placename, ceremonial county]] is normally used. However, in the article, these are some of the biggest cities in English and it is clear where they are, so no county is needed. The reason that the US cities have the state is because of WP:USPLACE, which states that articles about populated places of the United States are typically titled "Placename, State". It is general American usage to write the state as part of a city name, but in the UK, counties are much less well-known and used less often. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 18:58, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Press Kit

Hi I'm Colin I made Subway Builder. I know it's taboo to edit your own Wikipedia page so I'm not gonna do that but I've realized the screenshot image for the game is really low quality so I've released several screenshots on the website with standard Wikimedia CC licensing. Let me know if you have any questions.

@Colin dm If possible could you also release the SVG version of the logo? When possible an SVG version is preferred to a PNG and the raster image on the presskit is very hard to see. It would be this file. Thanks, Chorchapu (talk | edits) 04:10, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

OK I've just added several SVG versions of the logo to the page but like every other game the logo isn't under a Creative Commons license for obvious reasons. But I think that shouldn't be an issue as Wikipedia allows logos without a CC license Wikipedia:Logos. I've also added a video to the press kit if you want to use that.

Thank you very much. Yes, logos can be used in some cases but it is usually better to have a free version on Commons. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 15:19, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Actually, since they aren't under a free CC licence they cannot be uploaded. But if even just one is put under a CC licence it would still be tagged with a trademark tag which forbids illegal use. For more information see commons:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#TRADEM and commons:Template:Trademarked. Thanks, Chorchapu (talk | edits) 15:25, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I'm skeptical about releasing the logo under any CC license. From what I can see that can raise issues down the road with people using the logo without my permission. And once I release it under CC it can't be revoked. But if there's a way I can release it specifically for Wikipedia only without changing other parts of the license/trademark let me know. Colin dm (talk) 18:28, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I understand your unease about releasing the logo. If you are not comfortable with releasing it to Commons that is fine. Thanks, Chorchapu (talk | edits) 02:07, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
