Er, I just removed the "dick" from the quote. It's inaccurate. Fuzheado | Talk 09:43, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Steubenville, Pittsburgh

Should "Pittsburgh suburb of Steubenville, Ohio" be changed, (at least the "Pittsburgh suburb" part? Steubenville is definitely NOT a suburb of Pittsburgh.

I definitely think it should be changed and will in fact change it.

In that case, maybe the "People from Pittsburgh" category should be changed or dropped.140.147.160.78 17:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

Agreed. I will remove that category.Jackdempsey187 22:41, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversial "statements"--only one

Perhaps someone should reconsider the heading "Controversial statements." There's only one statement being referred to, here. Granted, there was a lot more to it than quoted in the article. I remember seeing it on TV. He said something to the effect that black people are "bred" for athletic ability; he also said something about black people having more muscled thighs, so they can run faster and jump higher. But although it was several sentences, it was only one statement, in the broad sense of the word--one career ruining statement. Using the word "statements" suggests that there were other instances. 140.147.160.78 17:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

[edit] Personal life?

One thing I know about Jimmy the Greek is that he had a child or children who died of cystic fibrosis. This was mentioned in Frank deFord's (whose daughter Alex died of it) in his SI obit of Jimmy. I don't have the verifiable information but if I can dig it up, I'll add it.

Some other personal info might be nice too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beckerbuns (talk • contribs) 17:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CaptureD13JimmySnyder.jpg

Image:CaptureD13JimmySnyder.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.
