File:AlPollardGravestone.jpg
Looking at File:AlPollardGravestone.jpg I'm not entirely convinced by the non-free content rationale. Why isn't it possible to make a free image to replace this? Is this a freedom of panorama thing? And does this really meet WP:NFCC#8? Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:33, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, you're still ahead of me. I can't take pictures worth a damn, so it is never worth my time uploading. My (not super high-tech) camera uses a memory card. I take the card out of the camera, plug it into the card slot and then, as if by magic, it appears as a new disk just like a USB drive or memory stick does. I can copy or upload files from that. More than that I cannot say. Consumer technology is not my thing. If you do manage to take a pic and upload it then the old pic will be deleted automatically after it has been unused for a week or so. Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:56, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- It probably isn't good fair-use, but if you're going to replace it sometime why give ourselves extra work? It can wait. Angus McLellan (Talk) 07:49, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Al Pollard football card.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Al Pollard football card.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Al Pollard
I have access to both Proquest and "Access NewspaperARCHIVE", which might be the same thing as "NewsBank". Do you not want material from Proquest, if there's any? Will Beback talk 23:10, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- I just did a quick search for ["Al Pollard" football] and got 1,326 hits. It'd take me a month to download each of those. Most likely many of them are copies of the same wire service reports. Is there a way we can narrow the search? Will Beback talk 23:14, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- I narrowed it to 1949-1970, but it still gets over 1,000 hits. The problem is that dozens of newspapers may carry the same story, but the poor search engine makes it hard to filter those out. Will Beback talk 23:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- the L.A. Times archive has articles starting with his Loyola career, in 1944. Between then and 1986 it has about 120 hits. The Access archive still gets over a thousand hits for 1940 - 1960. Maybe it'd be better to start with the Times articles and then see if anything more is needed for specific events/games? Will Beback talk 23:35, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- Fine. I've sent you an email and you'll need to respond to it for me to forward the PDFs. They come untitled and I'll probably just number them and let you add full titles if you wish once you get them. Will Beback talk 23:41, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- My access to Proquest doesn't include that newspaper before than 1986. However I found two papers in the Access database that carried an AP article on that same date. Judging by the word count, I'd guess it's the same thing. Will Beback talk 01:15, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Al Pollard 1951.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Al Pollard 1951.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:05, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
