Fair use rationale for Image:Jimmy Morris.jpg[edit]

Image:Jimmy Morris.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 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.BetacommandBot 07:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speaker[edit]

I heard this man speak last night. He's the best speaker I ever heard. Truly inspirational. He's also very funny. He's so good it seemed like only fifteen minutes but he actually talked for over an hour.Rlevse 10:15, 9 August 2007

Redirect request[edit]

I'd like to know how to re-direct to this page from a search for "Jimmy Morris." I think this is valid because he is often called Jimmy, the main page lists it in quotes as a nickname, yet searching for "Jimmy Morris" doesn't bring up this page. Can someone take care of this and/or tell me how to do so? Michaeloz 05:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

turned down the yankees?[edit]

he turned down the yankees to sign with the brewers? what's the story behind that one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.116.134.29 (talk) 09:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He probbly turned down the yankees since they picked him so late in the draft that his signing bonus and contract was probably very low. When he was selected by the Brewers in a much earlier round, the signing bonus and contract probably was much greater. That's my guess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.91.89 (talk) 05:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's highly likely. Good job. Yesitsnot (talk) 05:43, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
