[edit] Bonus animal comment

I noticed that in Endangered Species, there is literally no way to get the bonus animals, how do I get them? User:Macken985

[edit] Trivia comment

I noticed someone posted this in the trivia section:

  • Endangered species is the first expansion to have a completely new types of food (eucalyptus), and(Berries)

However, this is obvious because Endangered Species was the first expansion anyway. I removed it.

[edit] WP:VG assessment

I'm going to say this is definitely still a Start, and that there's still some way to go before it'll make a B. Here are some ideas to improve it:

  • Animal lists and information which would only be useful to players of the game should be removed per WP:NOT#GUIDE.
  • Some of the images have the wrong licensing tags: they're all from a copyrighted video game, so require the relevant template and a fair use rationale.
  • Needs citations: WP:CITE.
  • No real-world information has been provided: if you can find some critical reviews of the game, knocking together a "Critical reception" section shouldn't be too hard. Similarly, if there's any info regarding the development of the game and you can gather enough to justify a section, go ahead and add that in.
  • Lead needs expansion per WP:LS. The lead section should summarise the entire article.

Fix the gameplay info up and create a critical reception and/or development section, and you'll be looking at a B. Hope this helps, Una LagunaTalk 20:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jeep Tour Through Savannah.jpg

Image:Jeep Tour Through Savannah.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 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.

[edit] How to get variant skins

It doesn't say how to get variant skins. How do you get them?67.175.231.147 (talk) 03:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thats because its not relevant to the article and don't ask that here! Go to a game site! Triceratops9 (talk) 16:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
