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

Red links
Per WP:REDLINK, "Do not create red links to articles that will never be created". As I've said elsewhere, red links are allowed if they could "plausibly sustain an article", but there's no reason to assume all these amateur soccer players will someday be notable enough to have Wikipedia articles. They're certainly not notable just by virtue of playing for this team. It would be better to wait until a player actually becomes notable and has an article, and then linking to them here. If you're interested in tracking player careers, you can do that in project or user space, where it won't keep the article in a perennial poor state.--Cúchullain t/ c 12:17, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I removed the redlinks again, for the same reason as above.Cúchullain t/ c 13:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Look, I'm asking you to show me some WP:GOODFAITH here. I'm an experienced editor. I've worked tirelessly on US soccer articles for five years. I wouldn't have the redlknks there if there wasn't a very. very good reason. You may or may not be aware, as I don't know how much you follow American soccer outside of Florida, but the USL does not keep a searchable historical record of players who have played for PDL teams, which means that complete career histories for players that played in the PDL prior to them playing in MLS (or another professional league) are almost impossible to keep track of. Having a record of these players via these roster lists allows editors to keep track of the player's minor-league career via the "what links here" function, when articles are created for the players in question. Removing th redlinks robs US football editors of the only - and I genuinely mean ONLY - way of tracking these players early careers, resulting in incomplete stats boxes, incomplete career histrories, and less complete biographies. There are literally hundreds of examples of players turning professional - and, as such, having articles written about them - from this level every year, including some from Bradenton itself last season (Bernardo Anor). We just don't know which ones will turn pro until it happens, and keeping the redlinks in place allows us to use Wiki's internal system to keep track of the players. So please, I'm asking you as a favor, show me some good faith and leeway and please stop deleting the redlinks. There truly is a *reason* we're ignoring the the rule in this case.
