Fair use rationale for Image:OaklandOaks.gif[edit]

Image:OaklandOaks.gif 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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This paragraph...

The road to the championship was led by pioneering owner, S. Kenneth Davidson, who aggressively pursued top NBA talent Rick Barry and head coach Alex Hannum, signing them for an unprecedented $85,000 per year. His efforts drove a historic turnaround, from last place to first in one year. The defining moment on the court came in Indiana as Larry Brown reminded his coach they could win this playoff game in one shot: the brand new 3-point line. A stunned Indiana crowd watched the first come-from-behind 3-point shot in basketball history. The glory on the court was not fully appreciated by the league office, which prevented a local player from joining the ABA: Lew Alcindor. With the ABA missing out on both this dominant player and TV rights, the economics favored the incumbent NBA.

...is not so great. What's the relationship of Alcindor and the Oaks?? The whole 3-point shot story, needs context. Barry and Hannum each made 85K? Why not integrate Barry signing into previous paragraph...--Herostratus (talk) 19:01, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
