[edit] PBA Move from ABC-TV to CBS
Did the PBA go to CBS in 1997 or 1998? I thought it was in 1998, because ABC definitely televised the spring tour in 1997, and I think CBS picked up with the spring 1998 show, but I could definitely be wrong. --MMan710 04:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I checked this. The move to CBS was definitely in 1998.--MMan710 05:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Headings at bottom
I think the "types" portion of bowling should be removed in the bottom header box. Since the PBA is only involved with ten pin bowling, I don't think that bocce and stuff like that should be connected to this article. --MMan710 23:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citation for Membership
http://www.pba.com/corporate/pressroom.asp?ID=3594
I'm not sure how to add it in Wikipedia format. This link says there are 4100 members. I'm still trying to find the proper source for the 700 members.
I verified the current number last week on PBA.com pressroom. The article has been updated and the appropriate link added. Kevindh71 (talk) 21:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Link for Bowl.com
I am not sure why the link to bowl.com was added. It is a link for the official site of the USBC, not the PBA. Should it be removed?--MMan710 04:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Bowl.com does host news and articles about PBA Tour events, and the USBC is now a major sponsor of the Denny's PBA Tour. I don't know if that makes it worthy of a link or not. Howenstein115 19:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Expand this article
This thing needs some major expanding. There's so much info that should be here. If you care, go to pba.com find some good info and go to town. --TinMan 04:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bad information in the history of PBA
The article states that the PBA was formed in ohio in 1958....This is incorrect!!! The PBA was formed in the basement of the Onondaga County War memorial durring the 1958 ABC tournament in Syracuse NY.
Do you have a reference? 192.133.62.2 18:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Various PBA publications I've collected over the years as well as the PBA site itself all say the PBA was formed in Akron. Perhaps the idea of the PBA was formed in Syracuse. Kevindh71 (talk) 21:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio text note
Just so it's on record, the copyvio text purged from this article on Oct. 20, 2006 was from http://www.pba.com/resources/basics/pbahistory.asp Bumm13 04:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong link for don johnson
This PBA entry links Don Johnson to the actor's wiki site, not the as yet unmade bowler Don Johnson's site for wiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.129.97.246 (talk) 03:44, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
That has been fixed, and there is now an article for Don Johnson (bowler). Howenstein115 19:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] More graphics / visuals for the article
With more information being added to the article, it would be a bonus to add some more visuals of bowlers, logos, etc. But I'm not sure which site would license visuals for Wikipedia use... and even then I'm not sure how to download them myself. Any suggestions? Kevindh71 (talk) 21:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pba-logo-small.gif
Image:Pba-logo-small.gif 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 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 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.
