[edit] Photos

The new photo of the South end of twon from Bridgeway looks good - I edited the caption to make it less POV Trapper 16:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barkley comments

The actual exchange was:

Johnson: "How do you feel about Sausalito?"

Barkley: "Ohio?"

Johnson: "Sausalito, California. It's beautiful. It's right across the Golden Gate."

Barkley: "I've never been to Sausalito. They got a team over there?"

That only covers about 5 seconds worth of the conversation which continued into Ernie talking about how he and his wife went on vacation in Sausalito which is where Barkley began to bash the entire Bay Area and then focused on Sausalito due to Ernie's love for it. Your right that exchange of words did happen, but thats no where near all that was said.

Please sign your comments (use four ~'s). Assuming you are right (and without a citation that's a question) I still don't see why the negative comments is worthy of the page and the positive ones are not? In the end it's a has-been sports personality trying to rile up another sports personality and it has zero to do with Sausalito. If we added every positive and negative comment about a city from TV to each city it would dwarf the legitimate content. Absent a valid reason for the quote being included I'm going to remove it again. Please provide a justification as to why it's noteworthy for an encyclopedia before adding it back.

[edit] Houseboats

The new paragraph on houseboats seems very POV and doesn't cite any sources. It's also inaccurate (Gate 6 is not in Sausalito). Absent somebody fixing it I'm going to delete it. Trapper 03:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I did major surgery on the paragraph to remove POV, correct the Gate 6 error and added a reference. Trapper 20:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Voyage20.jpg

Image:Voyage20.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
