[edit] "Modified" League Logo
The CFL and its teams never used the so-called modified league logo in any official capacity, if at all. I have a number of league and club publications from this era, and in none of them does this logo appear. In fact, the only place that I saw it prior to its inclusion on this page was on a "CFL in the USA" tribute site that began operating sometime in the late 1990s.
Unless someone can confirm the logo's use, the statement suggesting that it was used by the league or its clubs should be removed. --Walby2 20:29, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mooted?
Maybe this is a Canadian-American difference, but the word "mooted" in the phrase "For the past year, the Glieberman family (owners of the now-suspended Ottawa Renegades) have mooted plans to put a franchise in Windsor." is weird to me - does it mean they tried to stop a team moving to Windsor? --Awiseman 20:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright violation
Virtually the entire article was a carbon copy of this Web site: http://www.oursportscentral.com/cflinamerica/history.php
This was up for almost a year--how in the world was it not caught sooner? Blueboy96 06:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- However, it is not -- it may be the principal source of the article, but it is not the only one (portions of the 1994 CFL yearbook were also used as sources). kelvSYC 05:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CFL Gold Miners.gif
Image:CFL Gold Miners.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
