Talk:Dwayne Roloson

Picture

So, if I were to obtain information from a website that provides photographs of these players, would I be able to put them on Wikipedia? Say I were to get permission from Getty Images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zetterberg40 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I know this must be explained elsewhere.....but how can I put pictures on this site from other websites without violating any copywrites? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zetterberg40 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

You can not. You must have permission to use the image, and the image has to be "free" for use on wikipedia. The best way to get a picture in an article is to take it your self and upload it to Wikipedia. Images under copyright may only be used with a fair use rational, any image that can be replaced by a free alternative does not qualify for fair use. The images you uploaded were under copyright and free alternatives can easily be obtained by bringing your camera to a game. In some cases, for example Pavel Datsyuk and Roberto Luongo there were already free alternatives. Of course images taken by professional photographers are better then most images available on wikipedia, but they are nor free. The photographer that takes the images you uploaded do it for a living, they buy equipment for several thousands dollars (a camera cost ~$4,000 and lenses ~$2,000-$10,000), we can not just steal their work. --Krm500 (talk) 01:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Spelling Errors

I should let you know; since I'm an Oilers fan (and have seen many of Roli's saves), it should be noted that Roli's name is spelled Rollison, not Roloson. Remember; Roli is a Goalie, not a chocolate candy.

No, it's definitely "Roloson." -Wafulz 19:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Whaaat? I am 100% sure it is ROLOSON. 199.216.235.3 18:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

He isnt with Minnesota anymore, I think we should update the picture. 199.216.235.3 18:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

birthday

recent changes by a guy who so far has just been vandal stuff changed the birthdate to dec 30. Those in the know may want to check this. I'd hate to revert it on the chance a random vandal may actually be contributing.--Xiahou 23:42, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

yep ends up it was vandalism. Thanks User:Resolute--Xiahou 00:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Sentence Clarity

I noticed that there is a sentence in this article that goes like this:"...will most likely see him end his unique career with the Edmonton Oilers franchise." I find this sentence somewhat passive and ambigious; it's not too clear whether the idea is that either Rolie will retire as an Oiler at the end of this contract, or when Rolie is an unrestricted free agent that he will sign with another team. I think the author was trying to convey the former, but just the same we should make the sentence less passive, like this: "....will most likely see Roloson and his unique career retire with the Edmonton Oilers franchise." WHat do you think?Ohyeh 23:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
