message: What was wrong with the old cabinet picture? Why that one wasn't free? --Mika1h (talk) 16:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See its deletion discussion and deletion review. The previous one was a non-free image of the cabinet taken from an advertisement flyer. According to Commons' definition of free, anything that's copyrightable on the object, like the artwork on the cabinet and the screen game on the monitor, makes the whole object ineligible for a free image. So a free version cannot exist. But apparently, a "more free" equivalent of the copyrighted material was possible, and thus NFCC#1 was not satisfied. Basically, the non-free image did meet WP:NFCC even though a free equivalent is impossible to exist. Not at all to my liking, but consensus is consensus.

replies: text: Not very good pics.  I think the best bet is to seek out and contact people who have taken pictures of these cabinets that exist either in personal collections or places they've been to, such as this author.  That's what I've done with pictures of the cabinets we have every year at the Midwest Gaming Classic such as with my screenshot of Avalanche.  It may also actually be beneficial to get a working relationship going between KLOV and the video game project as well since many of their cabinet images are user contributed photos.  If permission can be recieved to duplicate KLOV photos here, with full credit for the source and a statement of permission, I think that would solve this issue across the board rather than just this specific article. Lastly, we can also start a specific "video game cabinet image project" at the video game project.  Asking group members to get involved in taking usefull pictures of coin-ops at locations to start building our own database of non-commercial images. I'm thinking solutions that help solve this problem across the board would be better than one off ones for a specific article. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:28, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I just sent an email off to the owners of KLOV explaining the situation and proposing what I outlined above.  Hopefully it works out.  I'm still thinking we should also start up the project I suggested above. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:51, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arcade cabinet image

thread_title:  What happened to the secret water maze part? 

message: Good article. My only gripe is, why does this article make it sound like only the arcade version of this game exists?  There are several ports of Marble Madness, and there used to be a small gallery of pictures of the different ports. I personally wouldn't mind again seeing pictures of the different versions so that people can tell them apart. I don't know if this article needs to be split; would "Marble Madness (ports)" be a good article, or "Marble Madness (alternate versions)"?  Maybe neither. All I know is that the other versions aren't even mentioned, like the NES one that has the catchy music by David Wise, who would one day compose Donkey Kong Country music. I want to see if anyone else thinks we should have other versions at the very least actually mentioned--even if all that was there was a listing of the different ports.

replies: text: Whoops! Disregard the majority of what I just said! I didn't notice the image at the top was an NES image! Though it still would be nice to mention the other ports that were available, if possible--and keep the idea of the pictures of the other ports handy. 24.10.181.254 (talk) 22:30, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arcade only?? 

message: One user keeps deleting the External KLOV link to Marble Madness. There are two versions of MM. Marble Madness and Marble Madness 2, so these are two separate references and links. Please do not delete the original MM link. The fact that the link is already in use under the References section is of no consequence for the External links section, as readers cannot be expected to read through all footnotes. Asav (talk) 09:28, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That user would be me. Per Wikipedia:EL#References and citation, webpages used as a citation in the article should not be external links as well, and the KLOV link does not match one of the exceptions listed in the guideline. In regard to you comment above, I disagree with the reasoning. If readers can't be expected to read though footnotes, then why should they be expected to look at the external links? The pertinent information is already in the article prose, and the references and external links provide further information for those that wish to pursue it.
