Fair use rationale for Image:Tamagotchiconnectioncornershop2.jpg

Image:Tamagotchiconnectioncornershop2.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 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.

  Hey User:History6042 I was just told by a different user that my pings weren't going through to them, so just trying again here in case you didn't get my last one. Cheers! IngeniousPachyderm (talk) 03:52, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Z1720

I think the next step is to add information about the game's development. Who created the game? Who was on the creative team, and when did they start working on it? Who proposed creating this game, and why? This is information you can possibly find in news sources or interviews that will add more information to the article. Additional sources can be found using Google, WP:LIBRARY, or databases available from your local library system. Z1720 (talk) 15:23, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Z1720, thank you for your reply. I have now created a Development section with some info about the game's development. Please let me know what you think. Thanks IngeniousPachyderm (talk) 20:41, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IngeniousPachyderm: After taking another quick skim, I have no other concerns with the article. I think it might be ready for GAN. Z1720 (talk) 14:41, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems this article is now at GAN, so I'm closing this peer review. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:56, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will take on this review! Thanks for making a review pledge. I typically prefer to make smallish prose edits myself and only place comments here when I have questions, though of course as always you should feel free to change or discuss any edits you happen to disagree with. Looking forward to it! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:13, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IngeniousPachyderm, just a ping to be sure you've seen this! I've evaluated all the criteria now and there are just a few concerns to be addressed. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:05, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I did see it, thank you! I've been busy the last few days but am hoping to implement your suggestions and give you a proper reply in the next two days. Cheers. IngeniousPachyderm (talk) 04:46, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No rush at all, just give me a ping when you’re ready for me to take another look! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 07:01, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

• I made a pass through the prose and everything looks good. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Appropriate non-free-use rationales for the cover image and the screenshot. Given the screenshot's direct relevance to the extensive discussion of gameplay mechanics, I think there's reasonable justification to have two non-free images. The remaining image, of Matsuura, has an appropriate free license. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Looks like you got some good advice at Peer Review and addressed it all appropriately. Glad to see it! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Earwig just picks up the name of the game and the appropriately-attributed quotes from critics. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• By the way, this is a nicely-organized reception section. I'm always happy to see a reception section that organizes things conceptually rather than just listing a quote from each major review -- I think it's much more informative. There may be room to expand the "praise" paragraph with a little more on why reviewers liked those things, but I don't think it's an issue for GA breadth. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• The lead feel a little short given the length of the article, but at the same time, it does hit all the key points -- just not in a lot of detail. So I'll just mention it as an optional aspect to consider, taking a look to see if there are a few more sentences that might flesh it out as a standalone summary of the article. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• For the source check, I looked at cites 12, 16, 37, 49, 61, and 64 as numbered in this diff. I was inspired to make a few small tweaks but overall everything verified well without copyvio/close paraphrase. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions / questions

• In the lead, I think just calling it one of the best selling Nintendo DS games of all time implies a higher placement on that particular list than 70th or 71st. I'd suggest putting the actual number in the lead, but I notice that there's a contradiction between this article (which says 70th) and the list article (which places it 71st). Do you have thoughts about the most accurate & best-sourced way to describe its placement on this list? Perhaps the lead could just identify it as one of a relatively small group of games to sell more than a million units. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• It looks like Cubed3 is considered only "marginally reliable" as a source (per the discussions linked here). This is the only source on the list which raises a red flag. Can you make a case for the use of the Adam Riley review here, or find a better source to replace it? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @LEvalyn Thank you for your review. I have made the below changes you've suggested:

  - I've expanded the lead (let me know if you think it should be expanded further)

  - I've changed the line about sales in the lead to read as "making it the 71st best selling DS game of all time"

  - In the International Sales section I changed it to be 71st best selling, as that is accurate.

  - I've expanded the "praise" in the Critical Reception section.

  - I've removed Cubed3 as a source, I couldn't make a case for using Adam Riley as a writer as he only seems to write for that website. Thanks for catching that.

  Thanks again and please let me know if any other further changes should be made. IngeniousPachyderm (talk) 21:00, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  All of these revisions look great, and I appreciate you taking on some of the optional suggestions! Very happy to pass this now. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:12, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
