Fair use rationale for Image:Ninianpark.jpg edit

 

Image:Ninianpark.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.

Welsh White City Stadium edit

According to rugbyleagueproject.org two international rugby league matches tookplace at Welsh White City Stadium in Cardiff; Wales' 15-39 defeat to England on Wednesday 14 November 1928, and Glamorgan/Monmouthshire XIII's 9-39 defeat to Australia on Wednesday 11 December 1929. Which stadium is Welsh White City Stadium? Could it be Ely Racecourse, Maindy Centre, or Ninian Park, etc? Best Regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 07:30, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

    Pass/Fail:  

Lead edit

  • "the lack of facilities at the ground had restricted the club" - restricted them

Construction and early years edit

  • "with the site lacking turnstiles and an enclosed pitch, and the club were forced to turn down an invitation to join the newly formed Southern Football League Second Division in 1908." - an enclosed pitch. Hence, the club
  • "played at Cardiff Arms Park, and Middlesbrough, played at the Harlequins Ground in Newport." - held at

Football League and development edit

  • "their fourth placed finish in 1920 raised enough income to wipe out the club's debts" - fourth-placed; also wipe out is informal, replace with eliminated
  • "and died at the ground after suffering a heart-attack during the match." - should mention that Stein collapsed shortly before the end of the match.
  • "Connies & Meaden were hired" - employed
  • "The club was forced to pay £600,000 improving the safety features of the ground" - reword this piece of text so it reads as follows: The club was forced to pay £600,000 towards improving the ground's safety features

---Downscaling, closure and demolition===

  • "The plans for a 30,000 seater stadium, with potential expansion to 60,000," - change the text in bold to with the potential to expand to 60,000.
  • "The last ever senior player to score at Ninian Park" - The final
  • "and the last player for Cardiff City to score at Ninian Park was Ross McCormack in a 3–1 victory over Burnley in the penultimate senior game at Ninian Park." - Ninian Park should be changed to the ground to avoid reptition

Redevelopment edit

  • "The first show home of the £24m" - £24 million

Sporting events edit

  • "Cardiff rugby club played at the ground twice" - should be Ninian Park so it stands out from the reptition of the word emboldened in the quotation marks I have put
  • "The ground hosted 7 internationals between 1981 and 1995." - spell out 7 per MOS:NUMERALS

Concerts edit

  • " This date had originally been scheduled for Stephen Stills but when he was unable to play Marley filled the date." - reptition of "date"

References edit

  • Ref 32 should have the publisher as WalesOnline not Media Wales Ltd
  • Ref 35 is lacking an author

That is all I found during my read-through. Review is being put on hold.

@MWright96: Hi, thanks for the review. I've fixed all of the points listed above. The last point regarding reference 35 I was unable to add an author to as the reference does not list the author. Thanks. Kosack (talk) 06:17, 26 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Kosack: Alright then. Now promoting to GA. MWright96 (talk) 07:49, 26 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
