[edit] Article Cleanup

I'm starting an article cleanup. I will move content here that might want to reincorporated as we start to fix this thing up. Jmfangio ► Talk 07:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Media Request

It would be nice to accent this article with a few images. If anyone can upload some, it would be greatly appreciated. At the very least, it would be nice to get pictures of Montana while he was in college, on the 49ers, and on the Chiefs. Jmfangio| ►Chat  12:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced addition

The following text was recently added, but without citation -
Against the University of Southern California, Notre Dame's primary rival, he led a memorable comeback, but lost because of a problematic play. Notre Dame came into this game with an 8-2 record, having won eight straight after dropping their first two games. For three quarters, USC moved the ball at will and was overwhelming the Irish. Trailing 24-6, Irish quarterback Joe Montana found his touch in the fourth quarter and led a spectacular comeback which saw Notre Dame take a 25-24 lead with 45 seconds remaining. Aided by a questionable call, the Trojans moved into field goal range and with four seconds left, Frank Jordan drilled the game winner. Montana would work his magic one last time in the Cotton Bowl.
If someone can find a good citation, that would be great. We can rework it back into the article. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  21:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture request

Does anyone else think we need a picture of Montana in his playing years (preferably as a 49er, though I wouldn't mind a Chief picture where appropriate)? WAVY 10 14:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Look about two sections up :-). Also, i did some minor adjusting to your edits. The sectioning of the 49ers career is a great idea, i just made the titles a little less POV. Also, I think it's a good idea to clarify the jersey #s....but we probably want to look at adjusting the template rather than adding in line breaks....i'll mention it on that talk page.

Thanks, but I didn't see it. WAVY 10 19:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname

Per the recent content dispute - I have had the luxury of being the primary editor of the article in recent months. In all of my research, I have not seen one example of Montana where he is referred to as "Comeback Joe Montana" or even just "Comeback Joe". Therefor, it is hard to say that if he was ever referred to as Comeback Joe - that it was done so on a widescale basis and throughout his career. A recent edit summary said that the Notre Dame newspaper is the source. I think if that is verifiable - then we need a citation. Additionally, as it is clear that the name was not used during his professional career - i would suggest that it is worked into the section about his time at Notre Dame and not the lead section. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  23:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

A reference was added for the "Comeback Joe" and "Big Sky" nicknames (where did Big Sky come from??), but the source cited only mentions the "Joe Cool" nickname, so I've removed so that only that one remains. 165.189.169.190 (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Clark si cover.jpg

Image:Clark si cover.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.
