ActivityI had a question regarding your 19:37, 27 December 2013 edit of Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds. Based on my (fallible) interpretation of the cleanup tag's usage, the tag was still needed since the game does not yet have an image for the game box. As I'm still learning the proper usage of tags, among other things about the wiki, an explanation of why, in this instance, the tag was unnecessary would be really helpful.
A stub tag would be more fitting in that case. I apologize for not explaining, I didn't realize you had added it right before I removed it until a little while later.
Generally, a cleanup tag means the page is cluttered, strangely formatted, hard to read/navigate, or otherwise just messy. A stub tag simply means that the article is missing important parts, like the cover, infobox, settings templates, etc. It's also for when the article has these templates, but they aren't filled out.
Hopefully that helps!
It definitely does! Thank you, Nicereddy. Based on your response, I made an edit which adds the stub tag as seems appropriate in this case.
Seems correct to me, I'll see if I can find a cover image for it later today. Thanks for the article!
Just as an FYI, there's a Playstation game with the same name - and has the same release year and publisher, no less. Also, all the box images for the PC game I could find are all from what seem to be license-incompatible sources (i.e. MobyGames, ReplacementDocs).
Also, you're welcome!
Generally we have the benefit of "Fair Use". As long as the image is used for a relevant reason and as sparingly as possible (e.g. only as the cover image on the page, no where else) we are free to use the covers/logos of games in our articles, regardless of their copyright status.
