Replaceable fair use Image:Pitcher_Ron_Guidry.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pitcher_Ron_Guidry.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick note
You tagged 53rd Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry for speedy deletion as a copyvio. If you check the source website, though, you'll see that's it's copied from a book published in 1868 (bottom of the page) and thus no likely no longer under copyright. If you think the article should still be deleted, I'd suggest prod or AfD as I don't think this qualifies for any other CSD criteria. Natalie (talk) 23:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, I just left them a note. It's an easy enough mistake to make, and they were probably hitting the delete button just as I was hitting the edit button. Natalie (talk) 23:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Flood v. Kuhn assessment
Thanks for the B-class assessment ... I worked very hard on this knowing it would probably be very much welcomed by the baseball project. Your assessment, and the high importance attached to the article, means a lot to me then. I noticed about a year ago we didn't have that one, and was absolutely amazed no one had even tried to start it until I did.

I am also planning on doing Toolson v. New York Yankees soon, as well as the football and basketball cases. Daniel Case (talk) 18:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Flood's career
Missed your comment. That's not my forte ... I really just summed up what Blackmun wrote and what got mentioned in the other legal analysis I found. If you've got refs for Flood's stats and accomplishments outside the SC decision, do put them in. Daniel Case (talk) 18:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject Baseball error
Fixed it. Thank god for Template:X8 and Template:X9!

Flood v. Kuhn
It's a pleasing coincidence that you and Daniel have been putting a lot of work at Flood v. Kuhn, as TC&FCNSCFIBBA just picked Curt Flood for our latest article improvement drive. Should be a good 1-2 punch getting both of those articles up to snuff, hmm? Cheers, Caknuck (talk) 18:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Pitcher Harvey Haddix.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Pitcher Harvey Haddix.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 21:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
