[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GiuseppeRossi.jpg
Image:GiuseppeRossi.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 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.

[edit] Nationality
Should the American flag icon be placed next to his place of birth? I'm not sure of the standard being used across the board on this, but as he plays for the Italian national side and not the US national side, wouldn't that warrant a flag or mention of that on the sidebar? - Isaiahcambron 13:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Nevermind, the Don't Overuse Flags page answers this question perfectly - Isaiahcambron 16:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Years at clubs
There has been a spate of edits to Rossi's stats, most of which have revolved around editing his years at the various clubs. One edit was changing the years of Rossi's Manchester United career from 2004-2007 to 2004-2006. Rossi was on loan from Manchester United to Newcastle and Parma over the course of the last two seasons. However, he was still a member of ManU, no? So why the edit? I'm going to revert it to 2007 until someone provides a rational explanation for changing it to 2006. Isaiah 14:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Not only that, but why was his year at Parma prior to ManU deleted? I won't revert that as it makes some sense, but shouldn't Manchester United be added as one of his youth clubs? The article itself states "There [at ManU], he enjoyed prolific form in the Youth and Reserve teams but had limited chances with the senior side." Thus he must have played for them...

[edit] Nationality, again
There has been a minor edit-war going on here over whether or not Rossi should be "Italian" or "Italian-American". Since he is a dual citizen, writing only Italian strikes me as incorrectly specific. That is, it suggests he is specifically not a dual citizen, which he is. Therefore, it seems that Rossi's nationality should be left as "Italian-American" or "American-Italian". Either way is certainly acceptable to me as I cannot be so presumptuous as to assume I know whether Rossi regards himself as primarily Italian or American. I will continue to revert changes away from "Italian-American" until a discussion appears here. Isaiah 19:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- he says he's italian AND american...213.140.17.100 (talk) 22:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism to be put at nonsense page?
Someone hilariously vandalised this page. I was about to revert it, but I think you should place this at the nonsense page. I don't know how to do this, though. Can someone do it? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.92.73.193 (talk) 16:27, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Newcastle goal?
The text says he scored one goal with Newcastle in the Carling Cup but the table shows 11 apps and 0 goals. Which is it? I would edit it, but I don't know which is correct or if Cup goals somehow don't count for this article.24.1.20.212 (talk) 07:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
