The Fightball article has been given a notability tag. As one of the game's designers, I can't really mess with the article (I haven't touched it in two years). Does someone else want to try to bring this one up to standards?--Mike Selinker 19:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at it. Are you aware of any good secondary sources or awards to use for material? I see a review at About.com, which has editorial oversight, so that's something, but not too much else. Chunky Rice 19:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this: [1] . You can also look at www.fightball.com. I don't remember the game winning any awards, but it sold a bunch of copies, and it's still in print. I think it's as notable as Deadwood (game) or Bitin' Off Hedz or most of the other Cheapass Games with articles, though less notable than Button Men or Kill Doctor Lucky. But whatever works.--Mike Selinker 14:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gave it a good once over, adding the two reviews, taking off the notability tag and doing some general clean-up. Still probably needs work, but I think it's a good start.Chunky Rice 18:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I felt a little uncomfortable bringing this up, so thanks for taking care of it.--Mike Selinker 19:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The conflict of interest guidelines say that you should avoid editing the article, but discussing potential improvements in talkspace is actually the recommended course of action, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'll go ahead and copy this discussion to the article talkpage, in the interest of full disclosure.Chunky Rice 19:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Fightball.jpg[edit]

Image:Fightball.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 Wikipedia articles 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 07:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
