Talk:Harry Kalas

message: Actually, the 1980 World Series calls by Kalas are re-creations. Due to network regulations of the time, local announcers were not permitted to broadcast World Series games. This was mentioned on the video for the 20th anniversary of the 1980 world championship. Kalas called it a very frustrating time, but as Dallas Green noted, "Harry Kalas can re-create baseball better than most people can do it live." J-Red 15:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Per your link, "Note that otherwise reliable news sources--for example, the website of a major news organization--that happens to publish in a "blog" style format for some or all of its content may be considered to be equally reliable as if it were published in a more "traditional" 20th-century format of a classic news story."

replies: text: I've looked. There's nothing better on Flickr that's free-use, and because this free image is available, no fair use images can be used. I did my best to find a free image and to clean this one up as best I could. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

text: I stepped up to the plate and replaced that awful photo with one I took myself at the 2008 World Championship Parade.  One of the best I took that day.  The lack of good free pictures of notable people is a real problem and somewhat ironic.Sturmovik (talk) 04:37, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: The article says that Kalas will be the second person to be honored with a viewing in a baseball stadium on game day, after Babe Ruth, but ESPN says Jack Buck also got this treatment, and the article on Buck doesn't specify which day. Can anyone clarify? ShaleZero (talk) 01:20, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

If theyre is any Greek in him it is completely washed out.. he is white .. non greek features .. light hair light skin.. and the only thing that sounds greek is his last name .. none of his first or middle names are GREEK .. i should know cause im Greek ..  he must be mixed with like irish or other white ethnicities  .. cause no full GReek looks like that .. or would have kids  with that light of complexion or light hair regardless if his wife was white.. p.s. he isnt orthodox .. and he doesnt know greek .. all greeks who came here in the 1930's know greek and are all orthodox  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.155.71 (talk) 02:20, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I own the Harry Kalas autograph.jpg file and uploaded it, which came from a letter that Kalas had sent me.  I claim fair use as well as ownership, and authorize Wikipedia to use that autograph.
Why was it removed?  I intend to replace it. Bill S. (talk) 10:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was autograph removed? 

message: I pulled this one off Google. Have no idea if it's allowed. I have a few photos of his grave myself.

Anyway, the current image is both out of date and rather embarrassing compared to the finished product.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.245.229.247 (talk) 06:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless the photo is released for use under free license, we can't use or accept in this article. Better to have an old out of date image than none at all... — KV5 • Talk •  11:23, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Harry Kalas permanent grave marker.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: There has been repeated vandalism of this page where images have been removed, even when those images have been uploaded with the proper copyright notices and image releases.  I myself have been the victim of such vandalism, as I have posted images wholly created by myself and released to Wikipedia for free use, with the provision that the use of such images are properly credited to myself, including .  All copyright notifications were properly filed yet the images were completely removed from Wikipedia by bots, even when the proposal for deletion was properly challenged - one by a bot belonging to a member who placed a temporary "away message" on their talk page, thereby eliminating any chance of challenging an improper removal.  I feel that the use of bots should be disallowed by Wikipedia. Bill S. (talk) 05:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
