Fair use rationale for Image:Sale sharks badge.png

Image:Sale sharks badge.png 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 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.

History

Funny, it says in the information box at the side that Sale Sharks were founded in 1861, but looking at the text on the page, there's no indication that the club existed before 2006. Ironic really, when considering the lack of respect for the history of Stockport County FC that has been shown by the Sharks. Sorry to moan, but feelings are running high amongst SCFC fans over the treatment they've received from their landlords at Edgeley Park. The point is, why doesn't a Sale fan write a proper history section here? Mattwhiteski (talk) 08:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I quite agree. I looked up Sale Sharks on Wiki specifically to understand their history prior to the formation of the RFU. To start the history of a 150 year-old club in 2006 seems absurd. Rich. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.1.23.111 (talk) 16:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have trawled through the history and found that for some reason the history pre 2006 was deleted in mid to late 2009. I have reinstated what apears to have been the earlier history section. I think it may have been deleted because the section was being spammed at the time by notices about Stockport being sold.Kwib (talk) 09:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having grown up and lived in Sale until 1964, I can confirm that its rugby club, based in Brooklands at the current Sale Rugby Club ground, was well known and active. It was known then as the Sale Harriers And Rugby Club, which probably prompted the morphism to SHARKS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nernst H (talk • contribs) 17:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correction needed

The current link to Steve Diamond takes you to an article about a Welsh RL fly half/centre who seems to have retired about 1987, looks like a case of mistaken identity. The Steve Diamond that is the Director of Sport for Sale Sharks played hooker for Sale, played as recently as 2002, and is 42 according to an article in today's Sunday Times by Stephen Jones, but he doesn't have his biog on Wikipedia so far as I can see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnlholden (talk • contribs) 12:01, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sale FC

I don't know about anyone else, burn I think it's crazy that Sale Sharks has all the credit and honours of the amateur Sale FC, yet Sale FC (who on a quick google search still exist) haven't got their own page. What do people think about creating a new page and forking the earlier history/current status into a Sale FC article? TorstenGuise (talk) 16:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
