This shouldn't be a stub, since most of what already exists at Antonio Prohias belongs here instead. I'm working on these two articles, but if someone else beats me to them (which is no great feat) I won't object. Richard K. Carson 09:13, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Video Games

This article makes no mention of the (at least 4) Spy vs. Spy video games by at first First Star Software and then later Vicious Cycle. 5 minutes research show that these games span the NES to the xbox. I'm not voluntaring to write anything though, sorry.

ARGH. I missed that tiny link. Still, Spy vs. Spy (computer game) doesn't mention the xbox game, so I wonder how much else it is missing.

[edit] Music

Candadian StonerRock band sHeavy has a song called Spy vs Spy on their 2005 album, entitled "Republic?". There was a band in Australia around the eighties called SPY vs SPY. Some of their songs were, Don't tear it down, Clarity of mind and All over the world. A couple even made it onto the charts.Hydratooth (talk) 23:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mountain Dew

Someone put a link to the 'dew commercials with a big, bold link with four exclamation marks... Does that sound very encyclopedic? I changed it. 66.241.86.119 18:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Spy Vs. Spy.JPG

Image:Spy Vs. Spy.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.

[edit] peace sign?

"Frequently the winning spy celebrates his victory by throwing an ironic peace sign gesture toward the loser."

I'm assuming that is the V for Victory sign. In any case at the time the strip was introduced it could be interpreted either way — the V sign is pretty ambiguous. I'm removing the line since I'm pretty dubious of it and I don't see any way to objectively interpret the sign here. --24.147.86.187 (talk) 01:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
