Fair use rationale for Image:OverlordLightBase.gif

Image:OverlordLightBase.gif 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.

Release date

I could use some help with the release date info. for this game, and consequently the name of this article too. The game's box, which I have, says copyright 1992 Virgin Games. However the release dates are another matter.

• this site: [1] and this one: [2] state 1992,
• this one: [3] says Jan. 1993,
• this one: [4] and this one: [5] both state Jan. 1, 1993,
• this one: [6] and this one: [7] just say 1993.

Now I understand the date to be 1/24/1993 and that's the one in the infobox, but I may be wrong. Another editer changed the name of the page to include the (1991 video game) to distinguish it from other games with Overlord in the title, but the year used now appears wrong. HELP!!!

Merge

I noticed the merge request tags for this page. Obviously I'm biased since I did most of the work to the Overlord (1993 video game) page and some on the Overlord (1990 computer game), but I do not believe it should be done for the following reasons. In its current state the 1993 page would grow very long and unwieldy with another infobox and most of the contents of the 1990 page added to it. The 1993 page contains a section addressing the differences with all of the PC versions the 1990 page covers. The 1993 page covers the game with the most copies made worldwide (for the NES), while the 1990 page covers all other versions for this game (Amiga, Commodore 64, DOS, & Atari ST). I believe the separate pages adequately cover their subjects as they currently are. Kresock (talk) 23:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Woops. I didn't see your comment. I think the current (merged) status of the articles conveys what is known about the games sufficiently well. SharkD (talk) 09:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

See here for discussion that occured prior to the merge. SharkD (talk) 09:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
