[edit] Distinction

We should make a distinction between San Miguel the club team and the national team. The tournaments which the team competed as the national team should be removed here. --Howard the Duck 08:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

To further clarify, even though "club team" San Miguel-Philippines is composed of the exact same lineup as that of national team, Team Pilipinas (Philippines national basketball team), they are technically two different teams on paper. San Miguel-Philippines is supposed to be a club team coming from the Philippines (examples of club teams = San Miguel Beermen, Barangay Ginebra Kings etc.) They participate only in events like the FIBA Asia Champions Cup for Clubs (not FIBA Asia Championship for national teams) SEABA Champions Cup and other tournaments for clubs. Newspapers continue to refer to the national team as the SMC-RP (San Miguel-Philippines) squad, leading to some confusion. That is acutally "the Philippine national team sponsored by San Miguel", not the San Miguel-Philippines club team.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SMC Logo.png

Image:SMC Logo.png 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.
