[edit] Team-specific pages

I've changed a few of the links to go to internal pages, rather than the external links. Even though this might seem like it's losing information, it's actually strengthening the article. We're not really losing links, because they're already on the individual wikipedia pages for the individual teams. Plus, having internal links, rather than external links makes it read much less like advertising, and much more like a wikipedia article. Fredsmith2 18:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kansas City, Texas, and Carolina need pages

The top teams from the Texas tournament all really should have their own pages. So, I guess I'm requesting pages for Texas Rollergirls, Kansas City Roller Warriors, and Carolina Rollergirls. Rat City Rollergirls and Tucson Roller Derby already have pages. Fredsmith2 18:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Kansas City Roller Warriors previously had a page, which was deleted. I could not (quickly) figure out how to go about having it un-deleted after their notability was established in the championship.Michael J Swassing 03:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

FWIW, the old article was just a stub with a link to the KCRW site.[1]. Of course it can be recreated; just go to the nonexistent page and edit it. However, it will need to have more content than it did before. A good place to start for references: a Google news archive search. —mjb 08:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-WFTDA league on the list

Queen City Rollergirls are listed as a member of the WFTDA on this page. However, they are not yet members of the WFTDA (per the WFTDA website's member leagues list). From their web page they are playing by WFTDA rules and are seeking membership, but this doesn't appear to have happened yet. TimBRoyLV 20:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Good catch! Queen City was added on December 12, 2006 by a Verizon business IP address that looks to be somewhere in or near Buffalo, NY (where that league is based). I'll remove them from the list for now. In the future, we should demand a reference for any membership changes that can't be verified at the WFTDA site. —mjb 23:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ddtextlogo color.jpg

Image:Ddtextlogo color.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.

[edit] Leage status check

Can someone check and see if the Meltdown Town Derby Dames from Paducah, KY are officially members yet. I know that they are new members and were beginning the process a while back. Hooper (talk) 20:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
