Main page Articles
 Guitar Hero  Guitar Hero (video game) -  Guitar Hero II -  Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock -  Guitar Hero World Tour -  Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s -  Guitar Hero: Aerosmith -  Guitar Hero: Metallica -  Guitar Hero: On Tour -  Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades -  Guitar Hero III Mobile -  List of songs in Guitar Hero -  List of songs in Guitar Hero II -  List of songs in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock -  List of songs in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s -  List of songs in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

All articles now have, at minimum, undergone a peer review; as previously noted World Tour (due in Oct), Decades (due by end of 08), and Metallica (due by March 09) are future games and thus cannot gain GA status until after their release, at which point I expect those helping with these to be able to get them to quality within 3 months, easily. --MASEM 02:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note, for lack of any better image, I believe that Image:Guitar-hero-controller.jpg this would work (reduced in size to the appropriate dimensions). --MASEM 01:34, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I wonder how legitimate that "free use" tag is. I would have thought that the company would retain the copyright over the distinctive image of their controller. --Arctic Gnome (talkcontribs) 07:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Given that the controller's shape is based on a Gibson SG guitar, and free images of that (and other Gibson guitars) exist at commons, as well as free images of controllers and game systems, I don't believe this as a problem; there is certainly trademark issues, but that does not interfere with free use of such images. --MASEM 12:37, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I did ask elsewhere on this just to confirm and yes, such images are free - US copyright law doesn't cover utilitarian objects such as game controllers and cars, and thus photos can be freely made; thus this image is sufficient to use here. --MASEM 00:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
