[edit] Alternate titles section redundant?

All the information in the Alternate Titles bit is already in the Trivia section, so I propose to remove it. Kelvingreen 23:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The whole article is redundant?

I don't know if there should just be a single SWIV page discussing all the versions and conversions, rather than pages like this which describe one single third-generation conversion. Kelvingreen 23:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree this should be in a section under a SWIV page. Incidentally the sentences; "It is the fourth game in the Silkworm series." in the intro and ""SWIV" stands for Silkworm IV, as this is the fourth game in the Silkworm series." in the trivia section are not true. SWIV actually stands for Silkworm intravenous. As the creators of the game SWIV actually worked on the arcade conversions for the C64 home computer and when making the game they thought of load of improvements they could add to a sequel. Essentially SWIV is the sequel to silkworm, but for the fact that Tecmo would not grant them the rights to a sequel to silkworm. (the only citation on the web I can find to prove this is on the zero review on this page: http://amigareviews.classicgaming.gamespy.com/swiv.htm) --Mathsgeek 22:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Reading more into this, I was wrong suggesting that SWIV stands for Silkworm intravenous. But saying that it definitely does not stand for Silkworm 4 and that it is not the forth game in the series. (http://www.commodoreformat.co.uk/issues/DisplayPage.asp?i=1&n=97)
Ha! Well done on digging that out! I was remembering the very rumour Commodore Format are debunking there. Well, that's a lesson learned. ;) Kelvingreen 23:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
SWIV stands for "Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicle". It shows up in Amiga (and possibly CPC/C64) version, during presentation of the vehicles. These versions were the original ones, BTW. 158.75.16.209 13:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:F2000ts.png

Image:F2000ts.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 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.
