[edit] Query

Hi there, seems that we have a common interest in NBL and thanks for creating most of the stuff in the NBL 06-07 page. I just have a question on how to obtain the figure for the total and average attendance (on the top right hand corner) when the number of spectators is not listed in all of the match reports. thanks


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NBL logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:NBL logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:BlitzMatchSummaryLine

A tag has been placed on Template:BlitzMatchSummaryLine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:06, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
