Just to say that the title appears to be "Dark Matter" not "Dark*Matter". The star does not appear in official book or game listings, though it is included on a few fan sites. DJ Clayworth 13:49, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

That's not true. Many online stores don't use it, because the actuall character isn't easily available. The actual symbol used is the ellipse but most people use the asterisk as the ellipse isn't availbe on most keyboards. The rule book uses Dark*Matter all throughout the text, with the exception of it using the ellipse instead of the asterisk. This is the reason the asterisk is used on most fan sites.

Re: The hoffman institute: while all the published adventures contain hooks for hoffman institute players, it is by no means required to be in that organization to play. The institute could be completely removed from the game without adverse consequence (save making more work for the GM). 24.252.10.228 18:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dark Matter Cover.jpg

Image:Dark Matter Cover.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 01:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
