[edit] Raiden/Raiden II Similarities

Should the article mention anything about the similarities between Demonstar and Raiden/Raiden II. Almost every sprite in the game looks like it was ripped from those games. The level design is really the only difference. 209.244.187.8 21:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)ShmupMan9000


[edit] Source for my edits (and a question)

Uh... How do you indicate that a sentence/phrase/whatever has a source? Because the source for my info about the boss ships is here: http://www.mking.com/demonstar/index.html ("To destroy each boss..." and I think the statement "To destroy each boss, you will have to search for the many weapons such as lasers, homing missiles, and many more." could be considered a source for the powerup info, but I'm not sure.)

I added the source for you. 209.244.187.8 22:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)ShmupMan 9000

[edit] What kind of information should be in this article?

What kind of information should we include here? I'm not quite sure... Information on kinds of power-ups? Boss ships? Or general gameplay as compared to other games? Nezard 16:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to include info on bosses and powerups, preferrably with screenshots or something similar, but that would probably be classified as original research. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Davidjcobb (talk • contribs) 14:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Just added some contents

Please add/edit the contents, I'm not sure if I've added the right thing, and I'm not good at formatting either. Nezard 11:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Quality

Am I the only one that thinks the quality of the article doesn't meet the quality standards of most articles? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.206.200.130 (talk) 21:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] This article needs some expert attention

This article doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia's quality standards because there is no expert paying attention to here (maybe, tell me if I'm wrong). I don't know how we go around this problem though... Nezard 10:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Demonstar-classic.jpg

Image:Demonstar-classic.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.

[edit] Feature? Good?

I'm going to nominate this article for featured article good article status. I just finished cleaning it up major-ly, and besides the issue of what this article should include, I think it is good in every other way. I played this game 6 years ago and just rediscovered it again. What I remembered most was the power-ups which pretty much define the game and its gameplay - so the section about Powerups/bonuses I think has merit to be included. Let's see if wikipedia will find the article good enough! First I think it should be a good article then it can be improved further to be a featured article, if it is not worthy already ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 08:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

Upon its review on April 15, 2008, this good article nomination was quick-failed because it:

had a virtual or complete lack of reliable sources

thus making it ineligible for good article consideration. According to WP:Verifiability, "Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source."

This article did not receive a thorough review, and may not meet other parts of the good article criteria. I encourage you to remedy this problem (and any others) and resubmit it for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a Good article reassessment. Thank you for your work so far.— Epass (talk) 11:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
