message: This entire article is written by the mod's creator.  Frankly, you can't get much more biased than that.  The article doesn't even include that virtually all SE fans realize this mod is nothing more than a hodgepodge of ideas from other mods created by other people, with the Adamant Mod creator taking all credit.  71.254.192.208 07:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't we update the screenshot to the new Deluxe intro screen? The current one is from Gold edition, I think --Mindeye 02:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't mean to step on toes here since I'm a dedicated SEIV player myself, but my general opinion of this article is that it is not very encyclopedic. Rather than talking about the details in the game like what races exist etc that people who hadn't seen the game don't care anyway, it's better to talk more about what technical and genre innovations that this game brought to the market; things like how it appeals to people who enjoy very complex management challenges; and perhaps a little history plus how the game developed by essentially a one-man company gets distributed and marketed (as opposed to the big names) etc. CW 19:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:SpaceEmpires4-001.png 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.

message: Why is the screenshot for the quickstart screen reduced in resolution so that you can't read the descriptions?
This is not print media, no one is planning to make a wall poster with that picture and sell it for profit. It is certainly inconceivable that someone will be able to 'use' it to create a imitation version of the game. 
In short there is no good reason to reduce the resolution for that screenshot apart from a rather baffling application of overly zealous wiki-rules.
Could we please get a full-sized version of that screenshot instead?
