[edit] Merge proposal
I think the support for the existence of this article is rather weak. I.e., what began as a minor aside in the Wargaming article should remain as such. (E.g., "...so the term 'wargame' is not traditionally used in the context of computer games.") I also object to the broadening of the definition to include real-time strategy, turn-based strategy, real-time tactics and turn-based tactics. With the exception of the last two, these can be rendered to include non-war-themed games, as well. Sure, the Strategy game article groups them into "wargames", but it doesn't say this genre exists. This also adds to the confusion regarding the genre classification debate, as we have, effectively, nine categories to choose from. SharkD (talk) 20:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Vaslforsl.jpg
Image:Vaslforsl.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
