Fair use rationale for Image:Underworld2.png

Image:Underworld2.png 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 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.

Seamus or Jon?

Just about all sources give Jon Blackley as the co-composer; this may or may not be the same person as Seamus (maybe his brother?). Google has no hits with all three keywords "Jon", "Seamus" and "Blackley". Urhixidur (talk) 13:59, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

I just went and downloaded the manual to check, and it doesn't list the credits in it. Maybe whoever scanned it left that out. Someone with the game will have to check. I bought the first Underworld game and didn't like it, so didn't get this game. Dream Focus 14:05, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

I removed the "dubious" tag. To avoid confusion: yes, the credits are in the manual; yes, they list Jon Blackley instead of Seamus Blackley. This is because Seamus is not Blackley's real name. It was a nickname given to him by the other people at LGS ([1]), apparently after he worked on UU2. His real name is Jonathon--hence "Jon". Hope that clears it up.

GA Review

Reviewer: I'll now give the article a spotcheck; the review will follow shortly after. Electroguv (talk · contribs) 13:47, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written. a (prose): b (MoS):

• The prose is fine, yet placing "and" after semicolons seems odd to me. The hyphens in the third sentence of the lead will need to be replaced by em dashes.

• Semicolon-and formations are grammatically correct, but they're a bit formal and uncommon on Wikipedia. I don't think they count as a prose issue, though. Changed the hypens to emdashes. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 18:47, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

• "Gameplay" section needs a more representative screenshot, methinks.

Overall:

Pass/Fail:

• I am putting the review on hold until the above issues are adressed. Electroguv (talk) 15:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

• Long time no see, Electroguv. Thanks for the review. I'll get a new picture in there as soon as possible. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 18:47, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Welcome back, Jimmy. You've done a great job with this article, as you always do. Hope it'll become an FA someday. Electroguv (talk) 19:16, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks. And it might—haven't decided yet. Anyway, I got a new screenshot in there. See what you think. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 21:50, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
