Talk:Bob Mathias

Untitled
According to The Great Guinness Olympic Games Record Book 1988 the result in '52 was: 1. Mathias 7731 pts. 2. Milt Campbell 7132 pts. Which by my calculation is a difference of 599.

I see not only this Wiki but also the German and Finnish have completely different figures. So in stead of editing the bio I thought I'd ask whether someone could enlighten me who to believe.--Maarten1963 20:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bobmathias time.jpg
Image:Bobmathias time.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 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.
