Fair use rationale for Image:Age of empires.jpg
Image:Age of empires.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 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.

The section "usage" needs rewriting or removing. In it's current state its close to gibberish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.14.181 (talk) 14:14, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Usage Section
At this time, the Usage section appears to be a completely subjective view of the engine. It has no references and provides primarily details like "In general, the engine is easy to use" and "it is nearly impossible for a human to effectively counter," which aren't very helpful for readers. In addition, I suspect that many of the comments are based only on a single game that uses the Genie Engine. One reason I suspect this is the discussion of the AI, which is as far as I can tell, is not generic to the Genie Engine. Also, the Genie engine was used for a Star Wars video game while this section discusses specifically cavalry and catapults.

Also, I would guess that a Usage section on a game engine should be focused on the developers using the game engine, not players of the game. However, there appears to be very little information to write about on the developers using the engine.

Based on this, I would suggest that the Usage section be removed from the page, since it provides subjective and likely irrelevant information, both of which don't belong in an Encyclopedia like Wikipedia.
