[edit] Newspapers

What constitutes "many" newspapers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.218.51.95 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 26 April 2006.

I don't know, but the only current daily newspaper in Columbus is the Ledger-Enqurier. There are some other newspapers in neighboring communities, such as the Bayonet in Fort Benning and the Citizen-News in Phenix City. There's also a few weekly news publications and the CSU Saber campus newspaper. --TantalumTelluride 22:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sports

After some thought I decide to reverted the format JaMikePA made to the Sports paragraph. No offense but, the previous format was cleaner looking and the addition of established date and championships can be debated. The Cottonmouths organization was established in 1996 has fielded teams in three different leagues. Some people may say the established should only be for their current SPHL franchise, which would be 2004. Similar for the Catfish, some might argue their established date should be when they relocated to Columbus from Albany in 2003. Two of the Cottonmouths' four championships were regular season titles. Only two were playoff championships. Any championship title is nice but all are not equal to a playoff championship. I believe it's better for the reader to click on the article link to see any club history. StrayKat99 (talk) 04:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ColumbusCottonmouths headonly.JPG

Image:ColumbusCottonmouths headonly.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 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.
