What does "Artist Leroy Neiman made one of his first arts thee: He pained Ali and Frazier as they fought" mean? Kingturtle 01:50 Apr 7, 2003 (UTC)

- I don't know anything about the subject, but it probably means that the painter Leroy Neiman painted one of his first paintings there.
[edit] Crazy Talk
The sentence: "Ali had been stripped of his world Heavyweight title by boxing's governing bodies after expressing his views on the Vietnam war in 1967" is literally true but leaves the false impression that the various governing bodies took his title because of what he said.
As a review of the events in the Louisville Courrier-Journal ( http://www.courier-journal.com/ali/timeline/670428_refusedraft.html ) makes clear, Ali refused induction into the Army, then the U.S. Atty. anounced he would be prosecuted and then, "In New York, the State Athletic Commission announced Clay would be stripped of his title and an elimination tournament would be staged to pick a successor. The World Boxing Association and other controlling groups in the sport are expected to take similar action."
A small matter perhaps, but it took a lot more courage to openly refuse to be drafted than it did to merely express one's views on the Vietnam war. --Ralph

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Alifrazier 2.jpg
Image:Alifrazier 2.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 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.
