Fair use rationale for Image:BGSUFalcons.jpg
Image:BGSUFalcons.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 00:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Conference Affliations prior to joining the MAC
One must use caution when making assertive statements that a team didn't belong to a conference prior to joining a major conference based solely on their own media guides. Many schools disregard their histories in this regard; some do it because they just don't have the archival information, others do it on purpose. Bowling Green is among them. I've added a note that Bowling Green was a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference with the relevant cite; they were also a member of the Northwest Ohio Intercollegiate Athletic Association in the 1920s, but I don't know yet if that conference officially sponsored basketball, so I'm leaving that out for now.

 * And now the most recent version of the media guide does include reference to their membership in the NWOIAA via all-conference selections, so it's in now. JFMorse (talk) 14:50, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
