Talk:University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor

Copyright concerns
I left a note for Phlegm Rooster asking why he has tagged this article as a possible copyright violation. The articles that are reported as sources were already listed as sources. The article is largely a list of inductees into the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor. Beyond the mere list on the two web sites noted, however, I have put much effort into building the article with additional useful information, including a summary of the person's major accomplishments, the position he/she played, and wikilinks to their individual articles. These are significant enhancements beyond the source list. Also, most of the introductory text is my own. The only exception was two sentences that describe the purpose and criteria for induction. Since the M Club site containing this information was cited a source, I believed this was a limited, fair use. To avoid any possible issue, I reworded the first of these two sentences. As for the second sentence, it describes the Club's criteria for induction and should probably be listed precisely. Accordingly, I put that single sentence in quotations with a direct cite to the M Club site. The M Club site was already listed as a general source. This article has been used heavily by Wikipedia users (thousands of views according to grok stats) so I would appreciate having the article restored as soon as possible so that people can resume using it.Cbl62 (talk) 22:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. There are no obvious concerns with the article as it currently exists. The prior version was problematic as the opening paragraph was duplicated directly from a copyrighted source. In order to fit comfortably within fair use, "Copyrighted text must be attributed". As there was nothing to indicate that this was taken verbatim from another source, it did not meet the fair use guidelines. Given the extensiveness of the text from the source, your current handling is probably best. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Table inconsistencies
Some sports are hyperlinks while others are not. Some hockey entries are "hockey" while others are "ice hockey". This should be standardized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.126.178 (talk) 16:40, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
