Fair use rationale for Image:1981 european cup final.jpg[edit]

Image:1981 european cup final.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 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.

Background

Three players with injury concerns are noted in the final paragraph, but only one has an injury specifically noted. Is it known which injuries Kennedy and Cunningham were dealing with?

There's no mention of the injuries to other players in my book unfortunately

Summary

"One problem was to get the best out of their winger Cunningham. Not fully fit, he was tightly marked throughout the match and made little impact in the match." - This sentence is somewhat jarring as you go from Real Madrid's scoring chance immediately to a barely defined problem for Cunningham. I presume that the purpose of this sentence is to explain part of Real's offensive challenges, but it does need reworded. Also, the latter half can be simplified: "...he was tightly marked ~~throughout the match~~ and made little impact in the match."

Had a go at rewording think it reads better now. NapHit (talk) 21:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"...Camacho attempted to lob the keeper, but his shot went over the goal." - specify that he attempted to lob the ball over the keeper.

"...Real man marked Liverpool's best players such as Dalglish and Souness..." - link "man marked" to Marking (association football) for people like me who aren't fully up to date with football terminology.

General thought: Is anything known about prize money won for winning? Television coverage and ratings? Any crowd-related issues? I vaguely recollect that hooliganism was an issue at that time, particularly with supporters of English clubs. If these are not available or not applicable, disregard. I wouldn't hold back a GA pass for these, but offer them as food for thought.

There's no info available on prize money or tv coverage unfortunately (well none that I've come across anyway). As for the hooliganism you're right that it was a problem, but I think you are referring to the 1985 final, as I'm certain there was no hooliganism at this match.

Overall, just a few minor prose issues. Should be easily resolved. Until then, I am placing the article on hold. Regards, Reso lute 20:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for the review, I've addressed all your comments. Thanks NapHit (talk) 21:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
