::::I would avoid images taken from eBay as they are likely to have been taken by the seller themselves. Stock artwork from Amazon is okay as long as it is stock and not a user uploaded image. (This is the same as with things like DVD and manga cover artwork). Generally we'd prefer to have images that are created by the user who is uploading them unless it's something completely generic like game/CD/DVD/manga/book cover artwork that's the same stock image anywhere. | ::::I would avoid images taken from eBay as they are likely to have been taken by the seller themselves.

::::Your template is off to a good start... I would remove the "original game" parameter as it doesn't really apply to too many games (I think it only really applies to Monopoly and Yahtzee as they are licensed variants, remember that "Pokémon On a Roll" is not actually a license of Yahtzee and "Guess That Pokémon" is not actually a license of Guess Who?, it's just a similar concept). I would also suggest dumping the barcode number as I think it's kind of pointless lol. I'm okay with "number of pieces" but it would have to be specific and not just a random number...as each game is different, just listing the number of different pieces is kind of pointless. Using Monopoly for example, this parameter could be used to name how many player tokens, how many dice (die?), how many houses and hotels come with the game, number of chance and community chest cards, number of property cards, etc. Everything else seems fairly legit.

:::::Okay for the images! As for the original game parameter, I think it would be nice to mention it, I would put "None" on games not based on other or even just not show up that line in the infobox. As for the number of pieces, it's the same principle as when buying Legos, on the box there is always the number of pieces so I thought that would be sweet, the contents of the game would be listed in details in its own section. Lastly, for the barcode number, I was basing myself on the same thing that books have since it's supposed to be unique (ISBN or something like that). Anyway, I don't care much about that last parameter, I was just trying to add the more info I could. I'm going to work on [[Monopoly: Pokémon Edition (1999)]] and you can tell me what you think of the "final result". Thanks! :3 [[User:MannedTooth|<span style="color:#FF8000"> MannedTooth </span>]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 19:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
