Fair use rationale for File:Unreal Engine 3 Samaritan Demo Screenshot.jpg

File:Unreal Engine 3 Samaritan Demo Screenshot.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 non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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.

Geomerics enlighten

Why did reference number 55 about Geomeric Enlighten go to a page about sbobet? Herman42 42 (talk) 13:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

4.27.1 and iOS 15

Hello, version 4.27.1 of the Unreal Engine was just released. It fixes severe compatibility issues with the recently launched iOS 15. Please add it to the article. --179.26.62.142 (talk) 19:32, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

weak article

This article has tremendous amounts of detail but is remarkably uninformative, it doesn't seem to want to say what it *is* exactly. You figure out quickly it has to do with 3-D video games, but it doesn't say much about how this works-- does it do human motion capture ala rotoscoping, does it do physical simulations from first principles, does it use "sampling" of images and then fill in motion for them, etc.

I suspect the trouble here is the authors can't get inside the mindset of someone who doesn't already know what it does.

Maybe there's a need for a more general page that explains what the tech in general, of which the Unreal Engine is just one example? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5B20:15A0:1E2:A3E4:F709:CF33 (talk) 18:57, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

WP is not meant to be a how-to guide, nor do we have enough coverage from third-party sources to know exactly how it does some of its features. The best we can do is link to the general articles about these topics in general in terms of how they are typically done, absent the improvements Unreal makes. --Masem (t) 19:54, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I agree inasmuch as it isnt clear what a Unreal and/or a game engine is and therefore even unclearer what Unreal is; is it a language, a framework, an IDE or a 3D computer graphics software tool set (like Blender_(software))? --Gerlindewurst73 (talk) 00:34, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
