[edit] Mini review

A quick reply to the request at WP:CVG: my main comment would be about the balance of the article. At the moment, the Gameplay section far outweighs the Critical response section, which isn't really the way an encyclopedia article should me. What I want to know about is "why is this game significant" and "what effects did it have", not "which weapons work against which enemies", which is material for the game's manual and/or GameFAQs.

Surely the gameplay section always outweighs the critical response section? But then again, I understand your concern. The critical response section does seem far too small and I will work on it. Wolf ODonnell 15:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VG Assessment

This is in response to the request at the VG Assessment page. I'm rating this article as B-class, Low-importance. Here are a few tips on improving it further.

-Turn all of the lists to prose, especially in the Gameplay section. This may appear to shorten the section, but that's fine.

-There's no need to say the exact button commands to perform a move.

-I don't like spoiler tags, but if you have to use them (it's unnecessary, the section's already named Plot), then at least remember to close the tag afer the spoilers.

-See other video game Good articles for other relevant fixes, and Featured articles for eventual goals. --PresN 16:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Hm, that's strange, I took a leaf right out of an already GA status game when editing this article. Very well. Changes will be made as suggested. Wolf ODonnell 21:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Megaman Zero 1 Zero Capsule.gif

Image:Megaman Zero 1 Zero Capsule.gif 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] Other Stuff

I think we need an explanation about why Zero doesn't use his "Arm" Cannon anymore. Is that a pistol? Like the unfamous MegaMan 2 Cover? :D 190.21.214.99 (talk) 07:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Francisco.

'As far as I know, there is no such explanation, and in fact the differences between X series Zero and Zero series Zero are never acknowledged in-series. 146.201.132.62 (talk) 03:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
