[edit] San Francisco Bay Blackhawks
The WSL/WSA standings page indicates that the San Jose Earthquakes became the San Francisco Bay Blackhawks after 1988 ("San Jose moved to San Francisco Bay."). It's not completely compelling, because it's a private person's site, but it's all the evidence we have. Barring some other source showing more information, the connection to San Francisco Bay should probably be restored. | Mr. Darcy talk 14:47, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Though lack of time prevents me from searching for more sources at the moment, there seems to be a pretty comprehensive post here recounting the history of the Clash/Earthquakes team name and explaining how the San Francisco Bay Blackhawks was started from scratch for the 1989 WSA season, which doesn't appear to be any less valid than the previous private person's site. According to an earlier post located here (which apparently led to the corrected timeline in my first link), most of the printed evidence is found in archived San Jose Mercury News articles during 1988-1990, all of which needs a paid account to access. | Bananko 15:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

- Actually, both sources look pretty good. That first source seems to be an overall culmination of many bits of info such as that second source and other sources around. It's great that someone gathered all that info into one posting. As for digging that up, I'm happy to help. | Bananko 01:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Golden Bay Earthquakes logo 1983 1984.gif
Image:Golden Bay Earthquakes logo 1983 1984.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 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.
