Fair use rationale for Image:Gradius 03.png

Image:Gradius 03.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 ensure 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.

Eddie Evans section too detailed

I feel the section about Eddie Evans, under the Characters heading, has more detail than is relevant to the Gradius game series. As noted in the text itself, the character is not canon for the game series and only appears in the Salamander anime. It would make much more sense for this level of detail to be in the Salamander (anime) document rather than in this document. I suggest that the author of that section heavily abbreviate it and move the extra detail to the other document. Ilednuredgas (talk) 00:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation

There is some debate on how to pronounce the name of the game.

This comment is quite old, but I'm not sure what is meant by debate. Japanese orthography is phonemic and crystal clear about pronunciation, and there is no alternative way to interpret it. According to how Konami renders the title in katakana, the pronunciation is most definitely grah-dee-us. (Gra- as in graduate, not gray/grey.) It generally doesn't matter how English gaming networks or YouTube channels might attempt to apply their own sense of received pronunciation - they are not authorities on the topic. This game was created in Japan, and its title is read correspondent to its rendering in Japanese kana. 2600:1700:55F0:F3E0:FD69:6856:EFC6:6608 (talk) 20:25, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Trivia

Gradius was made into a Yu-Gi-Oh TCG card (+ some support cards), which is also marketed by the developer of the Gradius series... Konami — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.120.162 (talk) 20:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Citations Needed?

The article has two "Citation Needed" tags in the Content section, but I think these are unnecessary. The information there is inherent to the Gradius franchise, so the only possible citation would really be the games themselves. SpaceCowboy444 (talk) 20:22, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
