[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Aquaria 01.png

Image:Aquaria 01.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.

I have uploaded new image, it's from media kit, which can be downloaded at author's website (http://www.bit-blot.com/aquaria/media.html , at the bottom). Author says that images from the kit can be freely used "anywhere and everywhere", so i hope its ok to include them here. Lukipuk (talk) 19:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki worthy?

This game is still "upcoming" and is currently almost completely devoid of content... Is it really such a good idea to have an article about it already? --62.51.153.52 00:27, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers?

I haven't beaten the game yet and got a glimpse of all the forms. Maybe the info should be removed (since this shouldn't be a guide anyways) or maybe a spoiler warning should be added. 69.181.142.36 (talk) 10:23, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there should be spoiler warnings, but according to Wikipedia:Spoiler, wikipedia no longer supports spoiler tag because "it is generally expected that the subjects of our articles will be covered in detail". Althought I agree that brief description of forms is a minor spoiler, it cannot be considered as guide. But because information about forms can spoil the gameplay, I'm adding {{current fiction}} tag.

[edit] Demo

Hey, does someone know at which place it's impossible to proceed further in the demo? At last, I watched the cutscene where one of the kroaties (or how they were spelled...I forgot it) killed a fish-like beeing who tried to defend itself while using a stone. (Sorry for any mistakes, my english isn't that good) --78.49.156.65 (talk) 17:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

It's possible to play little longer and explore another area or two... --Lukipuk (talk) 17:59, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Specifically, the demo ends once you get a short distance along in the "Open Waters" area. RobertJWalker | Talk 18:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletition of spoilerish content

Apparently, many people are troubled with description of forms in this article, because it spoil the game when someone unintentionaly read it. Theese people has tried delete this content many times, but that is not the way to go. Proper thing, when you do not agree with the way it is written, is to rewrite it (maybe leave first two forms, as they are present in trailer and preview videos), explaining how can naija transform (keyboard, songs), how she gains new forms, that she reveals histories behind them and progress in storyline (some general non-spoilerish text). Simple deletition with no proper explanation will acomplish nothing. You should explain your motivation in this discussion, or your change will be reverted soon or later by someone. Help the article (and you will help the game too) to live, grow and prosper instead of crippling it. Good luck! -- Lukipuk (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Lukipuk: I like the direction you have gone with the article. Less spoilertastic, yet still encyclopedic. Good work. RobertJWalker | Talk 16:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
