Fair use rationale for Image:NesSqoon.PNG

[edit]

Image:NesSqoon.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 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 05:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone have this?

[edit]

I always wanted this game, but could never find it. I tried it on a emulator and found it hindered by terrible collision detection and habitually dropping fuel tanks beyond the reach of the submarine. Given the shakiness of the emulator to begin with, in which I did very poorly at games I've beaten dozens of times, I was wondering if this is a problem with real versions of the game. It would have been a good one if it weren't for its faults. --Scottandrewhutchins 21:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

President's Message

[edit]

The message in Japanese posted on the page is interesting. It has a couple typos in it and is missing all the long vowels, but it's readable as a somewhat old fashioned, classical sounding Japanese. It says, SOS..The ototo-ians have invaded, and the ocean surface is rapidly rising, Attack them Sqoon, for peace on the ocean floor!

In particular, I think seri is a classical verb from of suru. The rest is not particularly old but it has a kind of jidaigeki feel to it, or historical drama.

I think the name sqoon comes from the Japanese word Sukuu, meaning to save or rescue so it becomes a kind of pun. Perhaps ototo comes from younger brother but I'm just guessing. It's also close to the sound ottotto "oops!" or ottosei (fur seals) Any of these could have been puns in the mind of the creators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.123.124 (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
