Fair use rationale for Image:Proximus Diamond Games logo.jpg

Image:Proximus Diamond Games logo.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for wider input on discussion at WikiProject Tennis

There is a long, ongoing discussion at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found in tennis articles on English-language Wikipedia (e.g., this type of table). The discussion is about whether the "official sponsored name" of a tournament - such as Pacific Life Open - or another tournament name without the sponsor - such as Indian Wells Masters - must be used in those articles. Please join the discussion here. Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 08:53, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MOSFLAG

The style guide is quite clear. Flag icons should only be used in limited situations, "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country, government, or nationality – such as military units, government officials, or national sports teams. " These athletes are participating as individuals, not as representatives of national teams and therefore use of flag icons is completely inappropriate. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:37, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect, sir. I have reverted your removal, and left an explanatory message on your user talk page which quotes MOS:ICON and provides an example of a permitted use for sportspersons in international competition. Sportspersons are not required to be members of their national teams, only sportspersons in international competition with a representative sporting nationality. Thus, golfers, tennis players and other athletes in the international top tiers of their respective sports may use flag icons for their sporting nationalities. Moreover, recent changes to MOS:ICON have clarified that a single flag icon is also permitted in the individual athlete's infobox, too. If you have further questions regarding the application of MOS:ICON, I urge you to take them to the MOS:ICON talk page where more editors who are knowledgeable about the application of the guideline in sports contexts will be able to assist you. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:16, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was my only reason for reverting back to the earlier version, RPOD. The last thing I want is to thwart any of your on-wiki efforts, but asked Dirtlawyer to relay my point a bit better as I know he has a better understanding of the guidelines than I do. In fact, I'd also made some formatting changes and reduced some of the whitespace. Actually, funnily enough, I agree with the fact that a little too many flags are used, usually for decorative purposes, but here, in this instance, we are talking about tennis players in international competition who can only compete under a national flag. Of course this can be seen differently about football (soccer) players on a team, especially in this day and age when some have represented different nations in their youth, others in their senior career. This is irrelevant to many when it comes to club football. But I also see that MOS:ICON is clear in its permissions and the Diamond Games falls under this hat. Many thanks to Mr Lawyer who was able to explain this with a better temperament than I ever could have done. Jared Preston (talk) 18:12, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
