Talk:List of UEFA European Championship official mascots

This article really needs some photos.--Zlatan Ramić 16:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zlatan Ramić (talk • contribs) Here are some pictures-http://www.midfielddynamo.com/cups/ec/mascots.htm

Rabbit

Where does the name "Rabbit" come from. I remember the Swedish character named "Bernie", like the German one. I think the Disney company had a deal, and the Swedish mascot is basically the same as the German with a color change. fr:Mascotte du championnat d'Europe de football 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 22:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Compare this screenshot; File:Berni.gif from article Champions of Europe. The rabbit is called Berni, just like in German, and is copyright 1987, indicating it was an older mascot taken over. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

And compare this sticker album. [1] 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 16:17, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Use of non-free images in list article.

Non-free images such as File:Euro2000mascot.png and File:Mascot of UEFA Euro 2016.jpg cannot be used for "decorative" reasons in tables and lists per WP:NFG and WP:NFLISTS. Each use of a non-free image is required to satisfy all 10 of the criteria for non-free use listed in WP:NFCCP. One of these criteria is WP:NFCC#3 and another is WP:NFCC#8. When a non-free image is used in the infobox of a stand-alone article, such as in Super Victor, NFCC#8 is deemed to be satisfied because the image is being used a the primary means of identification of the subject of the article and its contextual significance is apparent. When non-free images are used in other articles, however, it is much harder to satisfy NFCC#8 per WP:NFC#Meeting the contextual significance criterion. In other words, if the image itself is being discussed in the article and this discussion reflects what reliable sources are saying, then it can be argued that the image is essential to the reader's understanding and it's removal would be detrimental to that understanding. In this case, the images of the mascots are really not the subject of sourced critical commentary at all, but are simply being used to show what the mascot looks like (i.e., "decorative" purposes) using the same essentially explanations found in the stand-alone article or tournament article. The sources cited are also the same. Therefore, the use of the images is not warranted since what the mascot looks like and the same explanation of the image can be found by simply clicking on Super Victor or UEFA Euro 2000. This means that a valid non-free rationale cannot be written for such a usage. For reference, the use of non-free images of mascots in similar articles has been discussed before (See Wikipedia:Non-free content review/Archive 54#FIFA World Cup mascot and WP:NFCR#File:Zakumi.svg) and the result was that such images should not be used in list articles like this.

The two remaining images in the table are "freely licensed" so there are no special restrictions placed upon their use as long as it satisfies WP:IUP. Whether they remain in the article is something to determined through local consensus. - Marchjuly (talk) 07:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
