[edit] Contradiction on article

I have posting this notice about a Contradiction in the article. It shows 2 different Average Attendance Figures in Montreal. One of them being 10,031 and was cited by "Montreal Expos (2003). Expos Media Guide 2003." and the other being 12,081 and was cited by "Montreal Expos (2004). Expos Media Guide 2004.". This leads me to believe that the 2nd Figure of 12,081 was the 2004 figure and shouldn't have been in the section on 2002-2003 "Purchase by Major League Baseball" section and should have been mentioned on the Final Season section.

It is not a contradiction, but the wording is confusing. The paragraph starts of saying that despite an increase in attendance in 2002 (from 7900 to 10,000), the team was forced to play some games in San Juan. It then lists the 2003 averages. I had to read it twice to catch on that 7900 is the 2001 average, 10,000 is the 2002 average, and 12,000 is the 2003 average. I'll see about rewording it. Resolute 15:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Reworded. It should be less confusing now. Resolute 15:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

I have assessed this as B Class, given its level of detail and organization, although it requires more referencing and in-line citations and some sections could stand to be expanded. I have assessed this as Mid importance as the team plays a strong, but not vital, role in Canada. Cheers, CP 15:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

B is an inferior grade! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.86.119 (talk) 08:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving

I set up archiving on this talk page due to some very outdated comments.   jj137 (talk) 15:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Au revoir.jpg

Image:Au revoir.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.

[edit] Best team in MLB in 1994

Though it is true the Expos had the best record in MLB in 1994 when the season prematurely ended, this is not equivalent to a World Series Championship, and so should not be included within the section in the summary box listing the number of World Series Championships. I propose removing this note from the summary box. The ranking of the Expos in 1994 is noted within the article itself. Isaac Lin (talk) 00:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
