Talk:Gary Stevens (jockey)

Fair use rationale for Image:GaryStevensBookcover.jpg
Image:GaryStevensBookcover.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.

Collapse
I just saw the info box collapse on this article and was about to comment. I agree with Montana's edit summary, way too drastic. (Littleolive oil (talk) 21:45, 31 December 2013 (UTC))


 * I tried to use Nikkimaria's collapsable template, but it didn't work within the section, so I just used collapse top and collapse bottom. But I don't like the green color, is there any way to either turn it blue like the infobox itself or eliminate the color altogether?  Does anyone know?

 * Better now? But seriously, that box is huge, even with part collapsed. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Much better and thank you for the formatting assistance! I don't consider the infobox huge in the least now, considering that this guy has a career that has extended over 30 years.  The Grade I wins WERE making it long, though and the collapsing is an elegant compromise to keep the thing under control.  Even so, there are plenty of infoboxes that are even bigger than this one is now (with collapsing) for people in other fields; Have you seen Richard Nixon?   For that matter, in sports competitors, take a peek at Serena Williams if you want a ginormous infobox!   ;-)   Montanabw (talk) 02:23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
