Fair use rationale for Image:Packpride1.jpg

Image:Packpride1.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.

Roster

i added the 07 08 roster. we can make changes when the season begins. i thought it would be a nice addition. Enjoisktboarding (talk) 04:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Tournament

went over to the unc page and saw they had all the conference tournament championships, including the southern conference. since they count as well, i put them up.. Enjoisktboarding (talk) 16:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

According to the Wikipedia page on the ACC tournament, "Since July 1, 1961, the ACC's bylaws have included the phrase "and the winner shall be the conference champion" in referring to the tournament.[1] Accordingly, the teams listed below are the ACC men's basketball champions for the years indicated, and it is not technically correct to refer to them as the "tournament champions" insofar as that usage implies that there is some other championship. While it has become popular for the media (and fans of teams that finish first in the regular season but fail to win the tournament) to use the term "regular-season champions," such usage is not borne out by league rules." In light of this, listing of conference "regular season championships" on this page would probably be inconsistent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.99.7.9 (talk) 05:49, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Referencing packpride

These bare reference tags attributed to "packpride" should be removed and replaced with information from third-party sources or more reliable websites, such as official NCSU, ACC, or NCAA sources. Also, the media guide references would be excellent material if they could be linked somehow. Fletch81 (talk) 19:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

First off, thanks a bunch for helping improve this article (even if you do pull for the wrong school). Second, the Packpride references can easily be recited as references to the 07-08 Media Guide (and I'll get around to this eventually). I started the history section based on the Packpride article as it was a concise and detailed summary of the program's history. After digging into the media guide a bit more, I've come to see that the PP article was just a summation of the history section from the media guide. However, I don't see the issue with using PP as a source. It is reliable and it is third-party; it is not affiliated with the university or the athletic department.

Third, I think you went a little overboard with the Fact template. For instance, in the final paragraph of the Everett Case section, you jumped on every sentence relating to Press and Pete Maravich. The section concerning the Maravich's was cited from the Four Corners book, which was properly referenced. There's a bit more over-zealous use of the Fact template in the article (in addition to some much needed use of it), and I'll get around to cleaning it up soon enough.

Finally, the media guide hasn't been properly linked to because I was just too lazy to do it. When I have time, I'll take care of this and other pressing issues with the article. Again, though, thanks. MTR (talk) 21:03, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Not trying to go overboard with the fact template. I apologize - in hindsight I was a little quick to pull the trigger. Upon re-reading, I realize that some of this information is indeed referenced. My intention is for all of these ACC basketball articles to shine. ACC basketball is a major interest of mine, and I am *trying* to take off my Carolina blue shades to help these articles, but I'll be the first to admit I'm not as knowledgeable about Wolfpack hoops as I am about Tar Heels hoops. The contention with using PackPride or InsideCarolina or any other third party site of that kind is their inherent bias. Of course, I find myself arguing that University published sources are the absolute best for each particular University, often more thorough than third party references, as they maintain much of their history online as compiled from official University records. MTR, you're doing great work on this article. Hopefully we can get around to making all the ACC sports articles up to Good Article status. I'll try to help you dig up some good third party references in the next couple of days. Thanks again. Fletch81 (talk) 04:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
