Fair use rationale for Image:Al 2003 toronto 01a.png edit

 

Image:Al 2003 toronto 01a.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 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.

Indications of wins and losses edit

This is a very useful and attractive page; however, I see a couple of problems about relying solely on red-green shading to indicate wins and losses:

  1. It wasn't clear to me (who was consulting it to clarify the table at Pearson Cup and confirm my conclusions at World Series#Local rivalries). All the scores started with the greater number (5-2 rather than 2-5), so there was no way of testing my eventual hypothesis about who won besides looking at the Winning Pitcher (e.g. Andy Pettite);
  2. Under WP:Accessibility, while color is encouraged, it should reinforce some indicator that's visible on a monochrome screen or to color-blind eyes, rather than serve as the sole indicator; and
  3. Under the same policy, the natural red-green, stop-go, contrast in particular should be avoided because red-green is the most common form of colorblindness. —— Shakescene (talk) 06:30, 11 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
