Talk:Muhammad Ali in media and popular culture

Fair use rationale for Image:When We Were Kings.jpg

Image:When We Were Kings.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 Wikipedia: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.

Apollo Creed

Would it be fair to add a section mentioning Ali's dominant, dancing style was the inspiration for Apollo Creed ? After all, in the main article it's stated that "In March 1975, Ali faced Chuck Wepner in a bout that inspired the original Rocky." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.81.175.217 (talk) 14:25, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Trading cards

I find the following passage to be difficult to follow:

The 1971 Barratt & Co. LTD is generally considered to be Clay/Ali's true rookie card as it meets most collector's definition of a rookie card. Although it's not his first card, it's widely accepted as his Rookie Card. Example: Tiger Woods RC is the 2001 SP Authentic /900. However, it was not Tiger's first card by a long shot. Ali did not appear on an American trading card until 1982 with an appearance in a Topps Olympic set.

The Rookie card article says that "A rookie card is a trading card that is the first to feature a specific athlete." If the 1971 Barratt & Co. card isn't the first appearance of Ali on a trading card, then what was his first card? And the Tiger Woods card issue, which is discussed more clearly in the Rookie card article, is not relevant to Ali. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

City of Ali

I have removed the following from the article:

• City of Ali is a 2021 theatrically released documentary details how Ali's death brought the people of his hometown, Louisville, Kentucky.

External links are not permitted in running text, and there is no Wikipedia article on City of Ali. BD2412 T 23:41, 26 September 2023 (UTC) BD2412 T 23:41, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
