[edit] Slanted toward Bears

This is a great page. But it is clearly slanted towards the Chicago Bears. It is not very objective. For starters, in every tie game, the phrase "Chicago Bears" is shown under the winners heading, while the phrase "Green Bay Packers" is under the heading of loser. That's hardly objective.

There should also be more Packer memorable Packer victories listed. In time, I'll be happy to list some.

But the biggest error is the fact that in that 1971 game, the Packers won, not the Bears. This is simple history, and can easily be verified anywhere.

Removing the Ditka quote is also biased. Ditka never disagreed with the call. He only disagreed with the length of time it took to make it. Again, this is a fact that should be included.

[edit] Notable moments and games: Criteria

Around Wiki - the term "Notable" is very subjective. In this case, there needs to be some set criteria in determining notoriety. KyuuA4 20:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] F.I.B.

I commented added the nickname F.I.B. for Bears fans to the namecalling section. As you may know, this nickname is to innapropriate to explain what each letter means. I'm leaving this desicion to all of you whether you want to explain what it means or delete the entire mention of it, it's fine with me. Libertyville | Talk 21:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ChicagoBears 1000.png

Image:ChicagoBears 1000.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
