Talk:Intellivision Lives!

Untitled
Errr.. This hasn't been released for the Nintendo DS. While a title bearing the same name has been announced for the DS, there is no comfirmation that it will be the same title that appeared on the XBox, GCN or PS2 - much like the PC Title called "Intellivision Lives!" is not the same title. Correction anyone? 71.124.16.93 21:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ITLVL!.jpg
Image:ITLVL!.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 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.BetacommandBot 05:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

XBOX compatibility
The section about XBOX incorrectly states that this game package is backward compatible with the XBOX360. Actually, it is forward compatible. Backward compatibility would be if an XBOX 360 games worked on and original XBOX and not the other way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce A.

PC/Mac system requirements
These are the system requirements for the only edition of Intellivision Lives on PC/Mac. It is helpfull to anyone who want to use them. Why remove them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.168.46.177 (talk) 16:22, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a WP:NOTMANUAL. Praxidicae (talk) 16:26, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

System requirements is not a manual or user guide. They are typically used by people who don't own the item and its documentation to determine if it can be used. It's previously published data that improves this wikipedia article. By removing it you made the article worse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.168.46.177 (talk) 16:33, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Here's another example of a wikipedia article of software that came out about tge same time. It has system requirements. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.168.46.177 (talk) 14:56, 1 January 2020 (UTC)


 * WP:VGSCOPE specifically speaks against the inclusion and there was no consensus to include it, so I removed it again. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 12:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

The wikipedia article guidelines state that system acquirements can be included if they are notable. In this case the system requirements are notable because they are of obsolete system meaning modern systems are incompatible, making it historically significant. So you can't simply say system requirements cannot be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.43.219 (talk) 14:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

messy too much primary sources
Since the maintenance tag was created, the article was improved and tons of references were added. There's more than enough references. What's messy about it.

Referencing the intellivisionlives website does not make it a primary source, since they did not write this article.
 * Since the tag was placed last October, there was no significant reduction in content, rather more and more unnecessary information, such as system requirements. Furthermore, a primary source is a source that was written by or specifically for the subject, which is the case for everything directly authored on Intellivision Lives' website. The opposing concept would be a secondary source, written by an independent author on the the topic. What you are referring to, the subject or individuals connected to it writing the article here, a conflict of interest. Lastly, your latest revert violates WP:BRD. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 12:32, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

As you can see in the article. The Intellivision Lives CDs were published and programmed by various programmers and publishers. Intellivision Productions who wrote the content that is being referenced did not program or publish most of the subject matter. Therefore the references for the most part are not primary sources. And even if they are, wikipedia rules do not forbid the use of primary sources especially when it is a reliable, authoritative source as the intellivision productions web site is in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.43.219 (talk) 14:33, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Merge Intellivision Rocks
I didn't see any discussion about merging Intellivision Rocks in its talk page. Intellivision Rocks is a different CD, different title, and completely different collection of games. Why was its page deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.43.219 (talk) 12:16, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
