Talk:History of the Los Angeles Lakers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's about time someone did this article. As much as I dislike the current version of the Lakers, their history is well worth its own page. Great job! Dknights411 00:50, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd noticed that the "Team History" section of the Lakers article had been blank for a while, so I went ahead and put this together. I'll go back and add some images at a later time. Hope you don't mind the edits I did on that page too. --Howcheng 06:15, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Big props for creating this article, and also to the people, including myself, who have improved it as well. I've read many books on the Lakers' history but this one is right up there ;) keep it up guys. MCDRLx 08:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:MinneapolisLakers.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 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 04:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
