Fair use rationale for Image:Twinbee FDS box.jpg

Image:Twinbee FDS box.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 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 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.

Moero TwinBee: Cinnamon-hakase o Sukue! → Stinger (NES game) – Should the page title of Moero TwinBee: Cinnamon-hakase o Sukue! be Stinger (NES game) (or something like that)? This was the official release title in English. Of course there are many many Japanese games localized in English, and we use the english title, right?

We should use the WP:COMMONNAME of the game, not simply just the official English one. For example, we still use Mother over EarthBound Begininings. That being said, it seems like "Stinger" gets way more hits on google than just "Moero TwinBee", so I'd support a move to Stinger (1986 video game). ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:45, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Mother is merely the exception that proves the rule. In the absence of clear evidence of the contrary, "game X's official English name is its WP:COMMONNAME" is a logical assumption. I also support a move to Stinger (1986 video game).--Martin IIIa (talk) 17:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from WT:VG § Page title for Moero TwinBee

Stinger certainly seems like it would be the more common name used in English-language sources for a Japanese console game from the second half of the 1980s. I support a move to Stinger (1986 video game). ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 20:55, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
