• Thanks again for all of these contributions. I'm wondering if we should run these on the main page individually or as a set, but we've still got a year to go before that decision has to be made. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to do it, but thanks again for putting these up for nomination. I think that they should probably be put up as a set, probably? It seems to give them a better dynamic.

You know, I was just at the page for the featured pictures because I was curious if anyone there was talking about the Media Viewer disaster. I'm sure that the people there would be very knowledgeable about how bad the Media Viewer is based the heavily metadata-ed infopages they come across for featured picture consideration. It'd be great if they added their voices to the Media Viewer discussion page. - Evan-Amos (talk) 03:02, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• On MediaWiki? I've already weighed in, and John Vandenberg left a note at WT:POTD as well. I agree with your feedback there. I've uploaded several 50mp images (File:Tower in Taman Sari, 2014-05-19.jpg is almost 90), and nobody can (readily) get anything larger than full screen view. Not useful, at all. But yeah, I'll post at WT:FPC as well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:10, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for giving me a heads up! I tried to think of how to improve the caption, but I couldn't come up with anything better than what you had written. I went ahead and changed the page description to match the POTD one. Evan-Amos (talk) 03:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Xbox is a home video game console and the first installment in the Xbox series of video game consoles manufactured by Microsoft. Classified as a sixth-generation console, it was released as Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market in 2001 in North America, followed by Australia, Europe and Japan in 2002, and was succeeded in 2005 by the Xbox 360. The console is shown here with the S controller, which replaced the console's original as the standard pack-in game controller. The Xbox console is notable for having a built-in hard drive, breakaway controller dongles, and an Ethernet port to support Microsoft's online gaming service, Xbox Live.
