Talk:Contra III: The Alien Wars

Contra Spirite

How about adding some informations about pirated port (on Pegasus and Famicon? never seen NES version) named Contra Spirits/Spirite/Spirit? Game (like New Contra/Super Contra 7/8) was quite popular on Pegasuses and legal, because there are no copyrights in Soviet countries ;). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.77.94.33 (talk) 21:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Contra3 1.png

Image:Contra3 1.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 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 21:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Screenshot for GBA version

I believe we need a screenshot for the GBA version, particularly one of the levels remade from the overhead ones. Comments? - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Also to note, User:Abryn/Game reception has some sources relating to the three Contra III versions, so it might be worthwhile checking there to see if there's anything you missed. Will pass either way once issue is dealt with. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 22:42, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
