message: :Image:Cof.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.

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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Cof.JPG

message: Contrary to popular belief, Finley was NOT responsuble for that trade. It occured on May 22, 1970, just after the season ended. Finley did not assume control of the team until June 29 of that year. While he is to blame for the micromanaging style that helped lead to the Seals' last place finish, a trade between the Canadiens and the LA Kings late that season (1970-71) (that gave the Kings Terry Harper assured the Kings, then struggling in last place, would be just good enough to beat out the Seals) is at least as much to blame.

thread_title:  "Peanuts"... 

message: I seem to remember Finley telling the press (I think 1975 or 76)that he had the three-globe pawnbroker symbol outside his office. "We buy, sell, and trade" as he began dismantling the A's organization leading to its ultimate sale. Humourous witticism worthy of inclusion in the narrative - especially paragraphs about divestiture - if true. Can anyone confirm?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.121.16.240 (talk) 07:45, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Management Philosophy 

message: In the "Marketing" section, a mechanical pop-up rabbit that supplied baseballs to the umpire is mentioned.  It is also mentioned that its name was "Harvey."
Why no dates on when "Harvey" was used?
Also, why does "Harvey" have a link?  And why is the link to the Broadway play Wikipedia entry?  If the two ARE related, why is there no text about/explaining the relationship?  2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 07:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
