[edit] "Map or City Changes"

I reworded the entire ==Map or City Changes== section as much of the content is confusing and too specific to the average reader. I've summed up the information the original passages was intended to relay, but there are still other points that have been moved here and must be cleared up:

The Brad Lawless monument in the game is in the north of Pigeon Park. However, the map shows it being in the south.

I don't recall the map actually depicting the location of landmarks, or indicating where they are as it would on racing beacons. Can this be clarified?

There is a satellite map of bayview, showing the roads pasted onto a desert-like landscape similar to bayview's (a satellite image). The only differences in roads are the Coal Harbour bridge intersection is a large interchange, one of the highways leading to the airport has a ramp, and the Airport has no interchange. The under-construction tunnel can be seen, along with another street that is under- construction seen during free roam.

Obviously, this passage refers to this illustration, which depicts a superimposed and modified map of Bayview over a real terrain. So far, I can't verify whether the map was an official version released by EA Games, but I do appreciated it if someone could prove it. If it's not an official, the mention of it simply isn't worth it, as it's pretty much non-notable. ╫ 25 ◀RingADing▶ 13:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC) ╫

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NFSU2 Canada.jpg

Image:NFSU2 Canada.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 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.
