Fair use rationale for Image:GonzagaBulldogs.GIF[edit]

Image:GonzagaBulldogs.GIF 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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

POV[edit]

To say this article needs re-vamped is an understatement. I made a small, futile effort at cleaning, but it's almost beyond repair with homerism. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 01:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did what I could during the copy-edit. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 23:30, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Needs references[edit]

This article is astonishingly short on reliable third-party references. This school is known for having made headlines with its basketball team... so why aren't those articles being used as references? // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 23:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to rework this entire page[edit]

I would like to rework this entire page, because it isn't of a high quality. Would using Gonzaga's men's basketball team's website (gozags.com) be a reliable third-party source? They have a lot of archived articles and schedule/results on that sire which I feel would be good for this page. 8:49 P.M. Pacific Time on March 15, 2011.

gozags.com would be a self-published source, and therefore highly questionable. Please see WP:RS for more information about reliable sources. I would suggest looking at Google News as a start. Many of the newspapers there are pay-per-view, but check with your local library: most offer online access to newspapers at no charge if you have a valid library card. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 02:22, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Slashes vs. hyphens for season names[edit]

When referring to basketball seasons, such as "the 2009/2010 season", it is correct to use a slash, not a hyphen, to separate the years. Per MOS:SLASH and common English usage as found in The Chicago Manual of Style, a slash is used to separate years when it refers to regularly defined yearly periods that do not coincide with calendar years. In other words, if you are not referring to the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010, you should not write "2009–2010". For sports seasons, like basketball seasons, that begin in one calendar year and end in the next year, the slash is correct. See also WP:YEAR. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 02:29, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On all the basketball seasons (i.e. 2010-11 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team, 2010-11 Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team) the seasons are written with hyphens, the hyphens look much better than the slashes as it is anyway, I think.. Brian Roper 7:59 P.M. Pacific Time on March 17, 2011.

The slashes aren't used in article titles because the / character has special meaning in the title of a Wiki page. That doesn't change the guidance of WP:YEAR or MOS:SLASH. Using a hyphen—or, perhaps worse, an en dash—could confuse readers, as that usually refers to whole years, not a period of time spanning two years. The CMoS 16th Ed. points out in section 6.78: the en dash is typographical shorthand for the phrase up to and including or through (in the sense of "up to and including"). In the case of sports, "the 2010 up to and including 2011 season" isn't quite right, so neither is the en dash. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 03:37, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-Every other page I've seen uses hyphens, the slashes just look awful in my opinion. -Brian Roper 6:30 P.M. Pacific Time on March 18, 2011
