Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Why

edit

I grew up watching the bowl games. The 1997 Rose Bowl launched my love for Ohio State football. You cannot remove the tradition from the Rose Bowl which has been around since 1902. It has been said so many times, a playoff would dilute the importance of the regular season. Many March Madness fans don’t or rarely watch the regular season, I am one of those fans. I am actually for a plus one format, but without the 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3 format. Traditional tie-ins must be followed. But that’s just my opinion. Bcspro (talk) 02:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Giving the Rose Bowl the NC still violates its tradition of Big Ten/Pac-10. What I would like to see is the major bowls played and then two teams selected to play a week or two later from those winners. The tradition of the Rose, Sugar, Orange Bowl etc. still intact.

Reds

edit

Correct founding date of the current team is 1882, as discussed at length in talk. Continuing to try to post 1869 constitutes vandalism. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

As has been discussed at length, and as the Reds themselves acknowledge, the current club dates only to 1882. If you continue to push the 1869 year, it will continue to be treated as vandalism on your part. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 12:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Stop it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 19:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

You also need to stop adding back that supposed "1919" team photo, which is plainly marked as "1909" and also looks its age. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 05:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ohio state buckeyes football68, you really need to discuss this with Rockfang, either here or at Talk:Green Bay Packers. Continuing to edit war over this article, as you have done here, here, here, and here, is not appropriate. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule.

RE:Image:Don Hutson.jpg

edit

Stop re-adding the above photo to Green Bay Packers. The above photo is not a free image, as can be seen on the image's description page. It cannot be used in this article. « Gonzo fan2007 (talkcontribs) @ 15:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Because the image is copyrighted. That means that we on Wikipedia must have a very, very good reason to be able to use it. Now our reason in the article Don Hutson is that the article is about the person in the picture, the person is dead so it would be really hard to get a free picture of him, and the photo helps the reader understand the article. It cannot be used in the Green Bay Packers article because the article is about the Packers, we could easily find another free image that could be used in its place, or not even put a picture at all because one isnt needed, and it really doesnt help the reader understand this article better. Pictures aren't just added to make things look pretty, they should help the reader understand the article, but if the image is free than we usually add it just to make things look better. If the image is not free than we cannot add it to any article we want, there must be a extremely good reason to, and there is not an extremely good reason to add it to the Packers article.
