Disputed fair use rationale for File:Michael Rizzitello.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Michael Rizzitello.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Edit notes

Hey Ted, Just for your info, on the Template:2008–09 Boston Celtics season game log, 2 notes for you: 1. When putting in Ray Allen on the table, you have to put R. Allen to distinguish from T. Allen (Tony) and 2. Where it says pf= , that's points for - so that would be Boston's score, not the opponent's. The opponent's score is the pa= or points against.

Attendance?

Hi Ted,

I was just wondering where you did find the attendance number for the Jazz vs Lakers game today, as you edited on the lakers playoff template. I could not find it on the NBA site, since they didn't update it yet, at least, not on the boxscore page. thanks ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 04:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool beans, thanks ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 04:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

La Lakers

You mean the one about the playoffs La Lakers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.112.234 (talk) 19:02, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Stop changing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.112.234 (talk) 19:13, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't like the way it was worded. Sorry for mercilessly editing your work.

I don't like that you put the Lakers gave up big leads.What do you mean emotions boiled in the second half?You mean that is there fist loss at home in the postseason.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.112.234 (talk • contribs)

It's okay now.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.112.234 (talk • contribs)

It is true because on March 17 the Lakers and Cavaliers were playing the same day and the Cavs won their game and became 54-13, while on the other hand the Lakers lost their game and became 53-14 and ever since that day the Cavs did not give #1 seed in the NBA to the Lakers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.116.41 (talk) 23:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Season Summary

Okay. You're right the way I read it now the wording is a little off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.116.41 (talk) 23:55, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

The Game (rapper) GA Sweeps: On Hold

I have reviewed The Game (rapper) for GA Sweeps to determine if it still qualifies as a Good Article. In reviewing the article I have found several issues, which I have detailed here. Since you are a main contributor of the article (determined based on this tool), I figured you would be interested in contributing to further improve the article. Please comment there to help the article maintain its GA status. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

Oops. My mistake on most of those, didn't catch the mentions in previous sections. And thanks for cites on others. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:32, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

West Coast hip hop

What's up, dude? You'll probably laugh when I tell you why I'm messaging you. I actually saw the note you left on the West Coast hip hop talk page (and yes, I noticed it was from three years ago) and thought I'd come and ask if you were still interested in trying to put some work into it. I've actually been working on it myself for a little bit now. I don't have much at this point, but with the little bit I've got it's already a TON better than the way they've left it. If you want to see what I've done so far, click here. So if you know any good articles where I can find information about the history of the subject on the net and could let me know, I'd appreciate it. It's like you said though, "I don't want to do it all by myself." Holla. WikiGuy86 (talk) 00:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Kobe Bryant article

Hi Ted, love the work you're doing for the Los Angeles Lakers related articles.. I need a bit of advice, should I make this edit: link < Just made a few alterations with the images.

Just let me know what you think.. and what changes you'd like see made.-- ĴoeĴohnson|2 11:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

• Glad you're ok with it... I'm going to make the changes now. Thanks and have a great weekend. -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 05:52, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Operation Old Bridge

Are you sure the convictions are related to the indictment issued in Operation Old Bridge? I do not see any evidence in the sources. Talking about sources: Is it too much to ask to add them correctly, with the title and publication and publication date? This is important, in case the link goes dead, one can still check what the source was. - DonCalo (talk) 22:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I still don't see any evidence in the sources that the Old Bridge indictment is linked to the convictions. If you don't provide these, I am afraid I have to undo your work. The convictions you mentioned could be moved to the relevant articles about the involved people. - DonCalo (talk) 16:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Celtics - Lakers Template?

Would you be interested in making a new Lakers vs Celtics rivalry template like this one link.. I think that rivalry should warrant one. -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 01:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
