[edit] Journalism Hijack...or we didn't get credit

Just thought you guys should know, your work appeared in print.Coffeepusher 20:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi guys,

Don't know where else to put his but...

I noticed some striking similarities between this Toronto Star article: http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/279429 and the associated Wikipedia article, especially under the Financial Problems section: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rogers_Centre&oldid=172826443#Financial_problems_and_fallout (01:52, 21 November 2007)

What's especially telling is the sentence containing "massively discounted", it's almost lifted word-for-word. Chozan (talk) 03:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

After looking into it, I sent the following letter to the editor...

To: Publiced@thestar.ca

Sent: Dec 3, 2007 13:44 Subject: Wikipedea not cited

Dear Editor,

Although we at wikipedia love to see our work recognised, especialy with all the bad coverage we have gotten, Lisa Wright neglected to properly cite us when she cut and pasted our article for Rogers Centre (I am refering to the history archives, November 21) into a report she did on November 24, 2007 titled "Sky Dome was profitable when Jays Won World Series."(http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/279429). With few changes in word selection, and no changes in order this article is more our work than her's. Now we do offer tutorials for citing our web site, and mabie your staff would benifit from such a training.

Although we havn't done an extensive serch for other uncited collaberations between our orgonizations, I am shure that shuch a serch would prove many writers have benifited from our shared interests.

Finaly, since wikipedia is a hobby for us, if you should choose to add us to your payroll the web site gladly accepts donations which can be given through the link on our home page, anyone who wants to donate will be welcome to.

Wiki editor "coffeepusher"

They said they were looking into it...no word on the donation, but it dosn't hurt to ask.Coffeepusher 20:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving

Due to some extremely old comments on this talk page, I set up archiving.   jj137 ^♠ 04:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RogersCentreLogo150.PNG

Image:RogersCentreLogo150.PNG 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 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.

[edit] Overuse of "citation needed" inline tags

The article is overloaded, there's one at the end of virtually every paragraph. It makes the article look like an absolute mess. Considering there's already a "additional citations needed" tag at the top of the article, I don't think THAT MANY are necessary. Some of the facts should be very easy to find sources for, that should help cut down on what looks like a junkyard. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 19:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
