[edit] World Series Edit?

It's a bit late, but this is in regards to your edit of mine on the World Series. A casual viewer won't know what a wild card team is, but they WILL know what the "Curse of the Bambino" is? I feel that the first Wild Card team to win is a fairly important highlight, since a majority of teams in recent years to win the Series have been wildcard's. Gonk 00:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe "they won't know what it is" isn't making my point well. The point I was trying to make was that no one would care. It's just not that interesting. I'm a baseball afficionado and I don't even find it that interesting. The Curse of the Bambino makes an interesting story - heck, they even made a movie based around the 2004 Red Sox. My intention with that one section was to hit the absolute highest highlights of the World Series - series that will be recalled for years and years to come - and I don't think the 1997 Marlins qualify.

The list itself in that section isn't entirely in line with Wikipedia standards of being based on secondary sources - it's just a list I chose myself. So I can't fight anyone very hard if they try to throw in the less-than-riveting 1935 World Series but at least the article seems better than the huge gangly mess it used to be. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Ucf ba.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ucf ba.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Si-cover dwyane wade 2006.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Si-cover dwyane wade 2006.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 03:07, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
