Arcade flyers
So, according to User:Frecklefoot use of arcade flyers in infoboxes is forbidden and we should use screenshots instead. Is that the consensus here? --Mika1h (talk) 21:09, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Here are two main archived discussions I could find. Here's a very early one from August 06, and the more recent one from August 09 everyone is remembering. After reading them, it doesn't really feel like a true consensus was ever reached. The discussions just kind of fizzled out despite some very valid points being brought up for and against. Shall we try to reach a definite consensus this time? (Guyinblack25 talk 15:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC))
The debate seems to fizzling out again. How about if a game has only ever been released in arcades than a screenshot of the title screen gets used in the infobox? To a lot of people it may be more recognisable than an image of the cabinet or a flyer. As this would be being used for a purpose different to an in game screenshot would fair-use rationale pass for two screenshots in the article in these instances? AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 21:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
The concensus at the moment looks like the order of preference should be;
- Picture of cabinet
- Flyer
- Screenshot
I still like the idea of the title screen but appreciate that it may be difficult to pass more than one screenshot in a article under fair-use, and a gameplay screenshot should really appear somewhere in the article. AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 11:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Just to throw another spanner in the works, I have just re-read the debate on this issue from August 2009 and another suggestion is to use the game's logo in the infobox. This is the logo found on the arcade cabinet itself, or more than likely on the flyer. An arguement was made that the flyer could possibly overwhelm a non-gaming reader with the amount of information they sometimes contain. I think this could possibly be a good idea, and would be a work around for the issue with cabinet images mentioned above. AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 11:42, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Spoilers
I apologize if this has been discussed before, but is there some rule regarding spoilers in articles? I know that spoilers in general are allowed, because this is an encyclopedia, but I thought I had seen somewhere that they are not allowed in the introduction to an article, only later on, more specifically in the Plot section that's on most (if not all) game pages. Icefall5 (talk) 14:44, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Additional fields to infobox proposed
A couple of new fields have been proposed for the infobox: primarily those for game director (or creative director or whatever, there probably should be some merging of bits from one of those to the other) and game producer, which is thought to be inadequately covered by simply calling them "designers". Game programmer has also been proposed. Take a lookie over at Template talk:Infobox VG#Producer, director and leave some comments, lets see if we can't hammer out a consensus for this. -- Sabre (talk) 21:34, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
Demoted A-class VG articles
Does anyone know which VG articles were delisted from its A-class status? I have recently found a

Rebuild Sword of Aragon
Hey there! It was found recently that Sword of Aragon was mostly copyvio from the game manual - like 80% of the article - so I had to take what was left over to rework it from scratch. If anyone has any time or interest, please have a look and see if you can help rebuild this one. Thanks! BOZ (talk) 19:56, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Page merge request
Could an admin merge Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Requests/Pre-2008 Archive & Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Requests/Undated Archives into Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Requests/Archive 1 and delete those pages. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 20:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Image copyright question
I've been trying to look for suitable free-license Nintendo character image for some lists I've worked on in the past on Flickr. I guess my question is, would pictures such as this violate Nintendo's copyright? I'm really shady on copyright law so I decided to ask. -- Nomader (Talk) 10:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Looks like it won't have any images for awhile then-- thanks for the clarification. -- Nomader (Talk) 08:10, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
See also: Platinum Range, (rarer) Platinum Hits in video game see also sections
Someone has linked Platinum Range in the See also section of many platinum range video game titles. Now I can see this being mentioned/linked in the prose, but it doesn't strike me as a particularly relevant link for the "See also" of a specific video game. Thoughts? – xeno talk 22:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Odd edits
Someone may want to take a look at Special:Contributions/190.179.23.23. Adding nonstandard abbreviations seems questionable to me. Anomie⚔ 23:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Cricket Revolution
Would this qualify as an article that reads too much like a manual? It pretty much is a manual. Also, I'm not sure whether all these screenshots would be okay copyright wise. Thoughts? SGGH ping! 15:41, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
