[edit]
I added this part to the page:
PC Format has included a cover disk or cover CD, as many other computer magazines. Initially these were in 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" inch floppy disk formats; this standard progressed to CD-ROM and DVD-ROM as technology advanced. I seem to remember PCF being "first" or a pioneer in this field for some reason - anyone else remember? -- Chuq 05:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
This makes no sense! Edit required[edit]
How can:
'In South Africa, PC Format is usually compared to New Age Gaming (NAG) Magazine, and the two are sometimes considered rivals. PC Format is also criticised as the "copy/paste" magazine of the two, for the way it 'borrows' text from its UK counterpart.'
Make any sense? I refer specifically to the last sentence. PCF is criticised, but then its criticised by borrowing from it's UK counterpart?! The OP either means PCF is criticised or NAG. This section needs removing or clarifying. I'll give it a fortnight to be cleared up, if not i'll remove it.
Fair use rationale for Image:Pcformat issue191.png[edit]
Image:Pcformat issue191.png 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 Wikipedia:Fair 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.
