[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:90_Days_number_24.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:90_Days_number_24.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Rettetast 08:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ed Hochuli

Thanks for reviewing this article and your kind comments! I have an autographed photo coming in the mail. Could I use that image freely? Thanks again. RyguyMN 16:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Lincecum

I took care of the awards/accomplishments section. Also, thanks for the helpful suggestions. I was able to do most of them, and will put in some more work when I have more time. I've been looking for a better photo for quite awhile, but have had no luck. Hopefully one will turn up at some point next season. StormXor 08:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Zodiac Killer

[edit] Notability of Cardinals Care

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Cardinals Care, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Cardinals Care seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Cardinals Care, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 07:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cardinals Care

I have reviewed the article and the talk page, and declined the speedy based on your comments as well as my own trivial search for <"Cardinals Care"> on Google News which netted 470 results - quite good. However, I have added a {{primarysources}} template to the article because right now all the references are from the Cardinals' official site. Although the amount of coverage in Google News means that secondary sources (write-ups of Cardinals Care by parties that are unrelated to it) are likely to be easily found, I felt that I had to add it as a reminder to you, the primary editor. (Your passionate defence of the article on the talk page is another reason why I'm addressing this to you specifically, instead of on the article talk page. ;-) ) Regards, Pegasus «C¦T» 08:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cardinals Care

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Cardinals Care, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Cardinals Care.

[edit] Bolding vs. quotation marks

Thanks for your input on Ryan Braun. Tough week, what with holiday travel, but I will do what I can to respond timely. Quick initial question. You suggested that we remove the Bold type from “The Hebrew Hammer” in the introduction paragraph, and instead place quotations around it. My understanding from the closest example I can find, under WP:NAMES, is that -- as with Slim Pickens -- bolding is appropriate here. If you have a better source for a closer analogy, I will be happy to change from bold to quotes as you suggest.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ryan Braun

Hi. Thanks for your help. On the Ryan Braun article, I have either followed (in the vast majority of cases) or responded to (in a couple of instances) your suggestions. Thanks much for your time and consideration.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Tx. I added the authors to over 40 citations, and think that I have now satisfied all of your criteria.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Stastny GA on Hold

Thanks a lot for your review. I think I've addressed all of your concerns, but one; I'm having some troubles rewriting the lead, I'm not sure how to do it. Anyway, I'd like you to see if there's anything missing or that you'd like to see improved to have this article as a Good Article. Thanks. You can see the differences here: [1]--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 15:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

User:GaryColemanFan was kind enough to expand the lead, the item missing.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 16:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Wizard

Thanks for the compliment on the user name, Ghostbusters is great stuff. The stuff in there about Shandor is classic. Anyway, I am just returning to Wiki after a 5 month hiatus, I will put Ozzie at the top of my to-do list. I just happen to be a huge Ozzie Smith fan, he's my favorite player from when I was young. Still a big Cards fan. Hope I can help. IvoShandor (talk) 19:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

The whole process may take me a couple days so you're welcome to address what you can in the meantime. I am through the "Trade" section thus far. I am copy editing as I go along as well as conducting a thorough peer review. IvoShandor (talk) 20:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Peer review done, initial copy edit done. Have not edited or looked at the article's introduction yet. IvoShandor (talk) 23:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Take your time, of course. Thanks for the welcome back. I will be around for discussion and assistance about/with the article. You've done a good job with the article and don't be daunted by the review's length, it's not as much work as it looks like. :) IvoShandor (talk) 12:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NYT article - Ozzie

Hey I might be able to get you that article for free, I have access to ProQuest, I just have to update my login info with the university, I will do it in the next couple days. Then I can email the PDF article. Also, I can't stop listening to that 85 LCS home run call, it's my earliest baseball memory (besides a passing memory of the 84 Series), I will never forget where I was and what I was doing at the ripe old age of 6 when Ozzie hit that home run. Digression over, I should be able to get your article for you. :) IvoShandor (talk) 12:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Haven't had a chance to look for this article as it involves me resetting up my account and downloading the software necessary to access the university's network, and I am kinda lazy on my days off. Sorry. I noticed you have been doing some work on Ozzie and making some notes on the peer review, I have them both watchlisted and have been checking in here and there periodically, things are looking good, looks like there probably some stuff left to do and look into but so is the nature of Wikipedia I suppose. When the article gets to a more "final" point I can look it over again and probably bring in some other outside eyes to take a look too. IvoShandor (talk) 08:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I have still been monitoring the progress on Ozzie, and watching it too in case vandals strike and no one else notices. Keep up the good work. IvoShandor (talk) 12:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ozzie Smith facts

This article I found, http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/news/2002/01/07/oz_hall/ , has a factbox on the side that lists Ozzie career rankings for Games Played, Double Plays, and Fielding % all at shortstop, which are missing from the statbox for career fielding on his page. But I'm hesitant to use the article as a reference because it's six years old and may no longer be correct, especially with a guy like Vizquel still playing. Do you think it's worth using?

I'd like to withdraw my GA nom. There's too much for me to do by myself. I'll just keep the article updated. Thanks for the heads up though. --Endless Dan 12:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
