Sources and Links

Should I add the source for: (this version of the film is of much higher quality than others that are usually shown on TV because it is a digital copy of the master) which is: http://www.bfro.net/LMS/LMS.asp ?

And shouldn't the years and Memorial Day be linkified?

No, linking non-specific dates such as "1994" for example is no use. According to WP:MOS...

"If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so."

Thus, linking the date "1994" will in no way help the reader understand the memorial day footage in any way. In fact, to do so going against WP:OMLTARTTC. Memorial Day takes place on May 30, everyone knows that. So what should be done is you can create an article on the Memorial Day footage, even a few lines of the matter will do. Then for the date linkify May 30, 1996. That way, anyone using date preferences will be able to find this article, and we can avoid confusion.

Adding the reference would be a great idea. Also, please sign your name next time.--Every1blowz 00:49, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I source linked what we discussed and using my DVD of the program can probably write up an article about the Memorial Day footage. And I don't have a Wikipedia account so that's why I never signed my name. Maybe it's time I register? 65.138.74.37 12:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I created the Memorial Day footage article. -- J. 17:29, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on the memorial article, and thank you! --Every1blowz 22:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. This is off topic I know, but don't you think the Fouke Monster article should be in the Bigfoot category or Cryptids category? It's in the Cryptozoology category, but that seems out of place to me, as do some of the others in those categories. What do you think? -- J. 23:06, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think Fouke Monster should be in Category:Bigfoot and Category:Hominid cryptids. --Every1blowz 04:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, then shouldn't Skunk Ape and Yeti and Yowie also go into the Bigfoot category? -- J. 14:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Sasquatch - Legend Meets Science.jpg

Image:Sasquatch - Legend Meets Science.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 22:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
