[edit] "Explanation"??
I feel the "Explanation" section goes beyond the scope of an encyclopedia article. I think what should be covered here are the developmental history and commercial and technical facts about the game. The "gist" of the game itself is sufficiently described in the "Description" section; is it really necessary to include a separate section that gives the solution to the game? Surely the Description is enough. I am removing the Explanation section here:
- ==Explanation==
- Template:Spoiler
- An evil spirit was unleashed on the Blackwood house through the African mask. This evil spirit of the mask caused the madness of James Blackwood. It also caused their newborn son, Robin, to be mutated into some kind of monster. Unable to face the horrible reality, the couple, with the help of Dr. Milton hid the boy in the cellar and claimed he died at birth. The three also removed all records of Robins existence and bricked up his room. Catherine, who wanted to see her son, was attacked and killed by Robin. James buried his wife in the yard fearing that someone would find out about his monsterous son. James Blackwood is most certainly dead by the time the game takes place, though the whereabouts of his body are not known. Dr. Milton however is still alive, and continues to feed Robin through the grate that leads to the cellar. The end of the game you are chased from the cellar by Robin Blackwood who is about 15 years old at the time. Play the game more than once and the story will become more clear.
If someone insists upon returning this to the article, at least copyedit it. It's pretty crudely constructed. 12.22.250.4 21:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Scratches.jpg
Image:Scratches.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.
