Image:Crazytaxi26.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 21:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
It's looking good so far. Maybe History might be better as Games (with both CT1s listed under Crazy Taxi), as the Games section is the first thing I look for on a (series) page. And any development notes could be under either A)a main Development section, or less attractive B)individual "development" sections for each game. Also, check out The Crazy Taxi Redemption Game Crazy Taxi High Roller, Crazy Taxi at segaarcade.com. The cabinet pictures alone might be cool. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 02:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I am proposing a merge of all the Crazy Taxi video games into a single page ( Crazy Taxi (series)) for the following reasons (primarily for notability):
Thus, I propose that we only need the CT series pages, and all other games point there. If you haven't following the discussion on the WP:CVG talk pages, I made a lot of test-bed improvements to the page and which is now the current Crazy Taxi (series) page, which, save for the soundtrack information, gets all the needed details (and more in some cases) off the individual game pages.
This is not an all-or-nothing merge. There may be a valid reason to keep one or more of the game pages (though presently I don't see any reason). The design of the new series page is meant to support that. If an individual game page should be kept, then all that is needed on the series page is to add a {{main}} to the game blurb; there is no need to redesign the series page for that as its a encyclopedic overview of the entire franchise, and a more game-oriented view can be provided on the subpage.
Thus, for this merge, I'm asking for an opinion on each merged page, not on the overall merge. This will allow for a game-by-game basis for this decision. Please make sure to add Merge or Keep for each page; I will assume that if you marked Keep for just one game and didn't comment on the others, you support the merge of these games. -- Masem 15:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Merge. GBA version of a console game. Do not assume I vote merge on anything I've not voted on, I just haven't decided yet. - A Link to the Past (talk) 15:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Whether or not an article "deserves" it's own article is not the question. The question is "Which format is the best way to present the information?" As it is, there does not seem to be enough to outweigh the "redundancy/new material" ratio. Gameplay carried between different games. Cabbies carried between different games. Cities carried between different games. Plot... Is there a plot? If there is enough unique information to justify forcing readers to wade through loads of redundant info, then by all means keep them separate. For now, I just don't see it. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 16:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Another question to ask: for those supposing keeping some of the existing articles, please look at the current series page, and let me know, should the specific game article not be merged, what parts of that series article would need to be removed (if any) with the continuing existence of the individual game article? Or, more specifically, I've tried to write the series article as generically but overarcing the series, and even if CT1 and CT:FW were kept as separate articles, I don't see anything that I'd take out from the series article, as such information can be expanded upon in the individual game articles; I've written it such a way that I believe that an individual game article can co-exist with that page as long as it goes into more details, as the series pages gets the series nailed down well. -- Masem 16:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
As there doesn't seem to be any feedback for this any more, I am going to work from the following assumptions: - Merging is still in question, however, its not so much a merge as an RFD for the other pages. I believe that I've captured all the notable details from those pages into here. In other words, ultimately, if one of the other games is merged, I'm not going to need to change anything on the series page, nor ultimately if a page is not merged, I don't need to alter this page either. So while I still want input on the other pages, I'm going to just do seealso's while those other pages exist. - Peer review suggests the series page is ready to go for GA, so I'd like to do that soon (even with this merge concept still going on as I don't think it's going to change the content of the article. Any objections to this approach ? -- Masem 22:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
SO I was looking for a picture of the RC car online (actually I found out about the car through an image search), and I found a guy who was selling it on eBay. I sent him an email, asking him to upload his picture to the commons, and he uploaded TWO! That guy is soo frikkin cool. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Katetchepare Check em out. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 06:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Any help with these would be great: - Any reliable source that mentions exactly HOW popular that the CT arcade game was that prompted Sega to make the Dreamcast version. Everyone says it was popular, but not to what degree. - The soundtrack list for "Catch a Ride". Having no luck at all finding it. Once its decided if things are merged or not, I want to get this article to GA, and those are like the only two pieces stopping me from it. -- Masem 15:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Based on what I've read above, I've decided that merging doesn't seem to be the best option, so I've made see also links for each game. However, I do recommend that strong considerations for keeping the other pages be made. As I've written the series article, it doesn't change this.
Thus, I've removed the merge, and gone and placed this in as a Good Article candidate. -- Masem 18:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I've noticed a bit of a backlog on the VG GA nominations page, some I'm trying to help out by getting some of the more dated reviews out of the way. Reading this article, it's clear that it's pretty close to GA, but I'd like to see some of the following addressed:
This is a good article that is very well referenced, these are just some of the more glaring issues. Once you've made some changes or need to ask any questions, post here or on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Good luck! Nall 23:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Nall 02:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Alright, after looking over the article, I think it now qualifies for GA! Nice going, guys. If you plan on taking it further, it would be nice to have a copy edit or peer review, but it has definetly come a long way. Nall 23:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

There should be a template that shows the the list of games across and characters down where there's a Check or an X to determine who is or isn't in the game. -- PJ Pete —Preceding comment was added at 21:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
The game sounds a lot like the GTA Taxi and Pimping missions. Does anyone know if they collaborated with or tried to sue Rockstar? 71.63.86.153 ( talk) 12:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Anon

Correct Guyinblack. If we were to split the sentence into two the second sentence would start with the singular noun "The Crazy Taxi series". (

The first game seems to have enough potential to stay on its own, but the other four seem too minor to need articles. If the sections are increased to two paragraphs, that should be sufficient. TTN ( talk) 20:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
When I read an article about something, I want to know if there are any characters that are playable, seen, or heard. If an article fails to mention characters, especially when those characters appear more than once in a series, then the article is not doing its job of enlightening the reader of what they encounter. The Crazy Taxi (series) article is an example of failing to do its job, and there happens to be a certain Nazi who fails to realize that articles are supposed to be informing people of something, not avoid it completely or act like it was never there. Crazy Taxi does not have generic drivers. These are actual people with voice actors and unique designs to them. Hell, what's the point of Steve Lycett from Sumo Digital asking SEGA AM3 for designs of B.D. Joe if these characters shouldn't be mentioned at all in a Wikipedia article? I'm pretty sure people not knowledgeable to Crazy Taxi would want to know that you play as characters and not a generic driver. Isn't that the whole point of Wikipedia? This isn't a Game Guide here; it's a quick run-down of four playable characters with a small pic to show the reader who they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.97.131.118 ( talk • contribs)
