[edit] Systemic bias

I'm adding {{globalize}} for two reasons.

Firstly, the introductory section talks about its release in Japan and North America, but not Europe or anywhere else.

Secondly, the "Gameplay" section describes edition-specific features. It doesn't even clarify which edition it's describing (either the platform or the geographical location). The Game Boy edition released in the UK, which I used to have, has a number of differences - see Talk:Paint by numbers#Mario's Picross.

Was the game released on any platform other than Game Boy anywhere other than Japan? -- Smjg 18:40, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Some information at http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/mpicross I will see if I can find more and update the article, I am currently improving another. -- ReyBrujo 18:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I see. BTW why have you nowikied that URL? -- Smjg 20:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Because inlining links help those sites to increase their Google Rank, as Wikipedia is a pretty high ranked site by itself. For some sites, like IGN, CNN, GameSpot, etc, it wouldn't really mind, since they are already well ranked. But for fan sites, it is just the same to add the link to the External links sections of the article or to the talk page "discussing" it. -- ReyBrujo 20:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
You mean you're afraid the odd link, by pushing sites up the rankings, will push Wikipedia down? -- Smjg 20:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Not really. I just don't want to give them a boost if we are not going to use them. -- ReyBrujo 03:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging section from Nonogram

I oppose this idea. The section regarding Nintendo's picross on the general nonogram page is not merely about Mario's Picross. I find it unsurprising that it forms a large part of the page, since it was many people's first and main interaction with nonograms. I think it should be kept as it is.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Marios Picross.jpg

Image:Marios Picross.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 05:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
