Washington Senators

Regarding your recent shifting of text from the Washington Senators page to various pages for the different forms of the team, please don't simply cut and paste text to a different page; please move the entire page itself, which shifts the editing history as well (ask for help if you're not sure of how to do this). Also, the standard practice is for the material for the two main Senators franchises to link directly to the pages for the Twins and Rangers, rather than having links go to the Senators page; this is easier in cases like Brooklyn Dodgers (which simply redirects to Los Angeles Dodgers) and St. Louis Browns (which redirects to Baltimore Orioles). The only reason there was a page at Washington Senators, rather than a redirect, is that there have been different teams of that name. It's really an expanded disambiguation page, and shouldn't really be a principal destination page. (There was a long, nasty discussion about the Expos/Nationals situation a year or so ago, so simply shifting things without discussing them first is a really bad idea in cases like this.)

I understand what you mean about moving the page. It would be good to have the edit history intact. Unfortunately, it won't let me move it to the new page since it already exists.

As far as what you said about the Senators page needing to be a disambiguation page. I understand your side of the argument, but I tend to side with the other side. It's an argument that probably resembles the Nats/Expos discussion that you spoke of. I think that the team should reflect the fans in the respective city, not the entity that signs the paychecks.

I created pages that Washington Baseball fans can be proud of. As a Washington Baseball fan, I am not interested in learning about Minnesota Baseball or Texas Baseball. The Montreal baseball fans have their own page, so should the Senators. I was about to add photos and such to some Senators player pages, but now I am throwing my hands up in frustration. I will revert the Senators page back to the way it was before I started editing it, and I will add your changes to the "19th century baseball in Washington" section.

Two images

I've marked Image:PeterStastny.jpg and Image:StastnyBrothers.jpg with {{dfu}} because they are non-free images used to portray a living subject, which falls under "unacceptable use".-Wafulz 01:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Washington Senators/Managers and ownership

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Washington Senators/Managers and ownership, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Washington Senators/Managers and ownership is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Washington Senators/Managers and ownership, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Fair use rationale for File:GriffithStadium.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GriffithStadium.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. ViperSnake151 Talk 01:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image permission problem with Image:JoeCronin.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:JoeCronin.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/al/wasdc/natsimages.html. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
