[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Incoming.jpg

Image:Incoming.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ownership rights

With Rage closed, and Interplay (the publisher of this title) essentially out of business and stripped of all their intellectual properties, who now owns the rights to this title / franchise? Any ideas?

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Nothing less than I would expect from you UnaLaguna! I do have a few concerns, however, before I can pass this for GA:

1. Incoming.jpg needs a source in its summary ie. where did you get it from? Scanned it yourself? Got it from a certain website? Y Done
2. All one-two sentence paragraphs must be either expanded or merged with the surrounding paragraphs, as they cannot stand alone. In addition, if you could add or migrate a sentence, even a short one, to the second paragraph in the lead, that would help too. Y Done The second paragraph in the lead is still a bit short, but still okay?
3. The first IGN quote is somewhat large; could it be summarized and placed in the footnotes perhaps? (Critical reception) Y Done Shortened the length of the quote; the other details weren't completely necessary.

To allow for these changes to be made, I will put the article on hold for a period of up to seven days, after which it may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work thus far. Cheers, CP 05:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I believe I had addressed these issues. Una Laguna^Talk 07:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
