How should current events be handled?

I have done major revisions to this page over the last 2-3 months and included a current events section similar to the Chicago Cubs page. I would appreciate some ideas on how best to update this section, or whether or not to even continue to have it, now that the regualr season is upon us.--Msr69er 08:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Someone keeps on vandalizing this article. He keeps on changing the logos to the old ones. Can someone warn the user that any edits like this are considered vandalism. Thank you. Ric36 17:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Motto

I qualified the "Anyone, Anytime" Motto as the Player motto, and the "The Future is Now" as the team's Marketing motto. --Ubersky 17:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Reaction to new uniforms?

From the article: "While some fans applauded the redesign, most of the reaction to the new color scheme, which included dropping the historical purple and traditional Arizonan colors of copper and turquoise for a reddish color known as 'Sedona Red', has been pointedly negative." The only reference listed I saw that could back up the reaction is an undated, closed Internet poll from about.com. The poll results state 43% say "No, I like the colors that they have now", which can hardly be considered "most of the reaction." Rktur 01:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ArizonaDiamondbacks 1000.png

Image:ArizonaDiamondbacks 1000.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 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.

Foundation

Were they founded actually in 1998, or in 1995, when Phoenix won the expansion team?

Antonio Take me out of the ball-game Martin

I think people generally count from the year the team begins play. BTW, isn't one of the team colors green? Or is that just on the "A" logo? --Feitclub 05:51, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
