[edit] NPOV

With respect to the pass interference no-call that cost the Lions the Western Final in the 2005 season, I agree that it was an extremely contoversial no-call, should Wikipedia state that it was pass interference, or should we say "many believe it was pass interference" etc.

I think "appeared to have been interfered with" leaves enough room for interpretation (and won't offend Eskimos fans), but it could be changed to "many believe it (the pass) was interfered with" or words to that effect.

[edit] History section

This history section is getting really long (which is excellent). Perhaps it is time to give it its own page? Qutezuce 05:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

You think so? I kinda like the history with the team...I don't believe any other CFL team has a separate history page (or really needs one) Sundevilesq 18:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


How about the old Woodward's "Quarterback Club"? We had three generations of faithfuls for our old club... and what about "Crazy George"? ... I know there's no place for stuff like this, but the flood of memories from days gone by. Flytrap canada 23:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Retired Jersey Numbers

I can't believe that ALL of the 8 retired jersey number honorees aren't linked! There's info on the web about all of them, and I recently completed a Wiki article on Lui Passaglia (please check it out and contribute to/edit it). I plan on working up a Willie "The Wisp" Fleming Wiki article as well. Sundevilesq 19:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

The Willie Fleming page is now up and running! Check it out! Sundevilesq 21:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't really get how Jamie Taras' #60 jersey number could be retired, when the current squad shows that #60 is being worn by Jason Jiminez (also an offensive lineman). Anyone know? Sundevilesq 07:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

All these jersey numbers are listed at [www.bclions.com] history section. I am also with you on the fact that I don't understand why Jason Jiminez has number 60 when it is retired. Bestghuran 16:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


IIRC, in an interview before Jamie Taras Night, it was stated that his number would be "honoured" rather than retired, owing to the fact that, given you only have 20 numbers (50 through 69) for linemen, that you would too soon run out. 24.84.233.33 (talk) 20:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] By Bailey

In an effort to "wiki" each of the 8 retired jersey #'s of the B.C. Lions, I need some info on Byron "By" Bailey that I have been unable to find in a Google search. From a recent article in the Vancouver Courier (referenced on the Willie Fleming page), I discovered that Bailey died, but I don't know when he died. I think that information is pretty critical for a Wiki page, so if anyone knows, please let me know! Sundevilesq 04:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This page

is much better than all the other western cfl teams, I commend those who have worked on this page. 64.230.107.149 18:58, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historical logos

We're missing the logo for 1968-1980. heqs ·:. 23:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for adding it, User:Bestghuran! heqs ·:. 14:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Some jack @ss wiki editor removed the current Lions logo that appeared next to the helmet in the Info box. Does anyone have a "Wiki proof" logo they can supply? Sundevilesq 03:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks like we're missing the old "paw" logo too. heqs ·:. 14:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BCLions.gif

Image:BCLions.gif 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.
