[edit] Image:GeraintThomas.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:GeraintThomas.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. MECU≈talk 16:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ive put that it isnt replaceable on the disputed form thingy and also in the discussion page for it. SportingNonsense 20:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geraint Thomas
I was trying to access the UCI website to access a new registered team roster before changing it, but it seems the UCI don't quite have it working this weekend! I'll try to source a new one this week sometime, and also make some headway on the Pro Conti team rosters.
Again, welcome! Mk3severo 11:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- I use Cyclingnews for rosters, theyre all up to date and it lists all the top teams.
- Just so you know, if you read this, Im hoping to add the rosters from the bottom of the page to continental teams, Ive experimented with the current team templates in my sandbox and I know what to do. Ill start with Barloworld.

- Cyclingnews is good, but the UCI is the horse's mouth so I regard it a better source to use and always try to reference that rather than a third party source which may have mistakes! If you hadn't found it, instructions for the nav boxes can be found at Template talk:Cycling team rider. Happy editing! --Mk3severo 11:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WT:CRIC
Hello Sporting Nonsense. It has been decided not to use the squad templates for the world cup in the articles because it was agreed that the templates were overwhelming the articles at that the categories could convery the same information. thus, I reverted your changes to the cricket bios. If the consensus changes in the future, I will be happy to restore them for you. Regards, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, good job I only did 2 XD --SportingNonsense 03:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
