Your repeated edits to Hartford Whalers[edit]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Ravenswing 03:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it has been discussed several times in the discussion. Someone even came up with a compromise for the problem. But you seem to be the only one hell bent on keeping the numbers off of the page. I have no problem changing the page every day. All I ask for is some sort of compromise, and I think many other people feel the same way about it. -- superducktoes

There is no compromise possible, for the simple reason that those numbers were not retired by the Hartford Whalers. If you continue to vandalize the page in the face of ongoing consensus, then we'll just have to take stronger action, is all. Ravenswing 03:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were members of the Whalers, the numbers are retired where the Whalers played. I don't see the problem with leaving the numbers. --superducktoes

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to Hartford Whalers. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Djsasso 05:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guys Wikipedia is about the community not about what a couple of users seem to think. Clearly the community is split about this issue, but unless you are Jimmy Wales himself, then I suggest either a) a compromise as offered in the discussion."In addition, Ulf Samuelsson's #5, Ron Francis's #10 and Kevin Dineen's #11 have been honored by fans of the team. On January 7, 2006 at a Whalers appreciation night, the three numbers were hoisted to the rafters of the Hartford Civic Center during a Hartford Wolf Pack game." or b) cite a source why those numbers should not be there, becasue the players numbers are retired as Whalers.--superducktoes

Except that is the point...they were not retired as Whalers because there are no Whalers anymore. There is already a consensus on who is and who is not included on team pages as far as retired numbers go and these players do not meet the consensus. And you are right it is a community so stop readding players that only a minority want added. As far as I can tell 2 people. --Djsasso 13:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't we compromise and add the sentance ."In addition, Ulf Samuelsson's #5, Ron Francis's #10 and Kevin Dineen's #11 have been honored by fans of the team. On January 7, 2006 at a Whalers appreciation night, the three numbers were hoisted to the rafters of the Hartford Civic Center during a Hartford Wolf Pack game." The page is about the Hartford Whalers, even call them honorary retired members.

We already did, in the Hartford Civic Center where it belongs. That being said, your next reversion will be reported as a WP:3RR violation. Ravenswing 13:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Superducktoes, your edits are in the minority. You should respect consensus and leave the 'Retired Numbers' as they were (Ley, Howe & McKenzie). By going against consensus, your actions could be viewed as 'bad faith' or 'PoV' edits. Please end this 'edit war', you're risking being 'blocked'. GoodDay 20:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the good of Wikipedia I shall leave them be. --superducktoes

Fair use rationale for Image:Gunnlogo.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gunnlogo.gif. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. 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 07:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
