Talk:Texas Sport Bike Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article does indeed include text from the TSBA website. This "cut and paste" is approved because the officers of TSBA approved the use of the prose, and the author of the Wiki article is a 2008 TSBA officer from the Fort Worth chapter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim dugger (talk • contribs) 15:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Noted. An effort to simply rewrite the introductory prose will commence promptly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.30.16.3 (talk) 18:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Done. This was rewritten by an individual with membership experience in the club and there's no copyright restriction now (as I understand it.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.30.16.3 (talk) 18:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TSBA Logo.jpg
Image:TSBA Logo.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.
