message: :Image:FC Groningen.png 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 Wikipedia articles 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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:FC Groningen.png

message: The article states that FC Gronigen was founded in 1971. Then it states that they have played in their old stadium for 72 years. It seems to me that these statements are inconsistent. Could someone explain what I am missing?

replies: text: According to this Dutch Wikipedia article FC Groningen played its first match at its old stadium in 1935 as GVAV. There remains a slight discrepancy since according to this article FC Groningen played its last match there in 2005, which makes it 70 years rather than 72. It seems that the Oosterpark Stadion was inaugurated in 1933, which explains the missing 2 years. Perhaps some predecessor of GVAV kicked a ball around there for a couple of years, which might, arguably, justify the claim of 72 years.

message: :: I'm not quite sure what's meant by 'The design of the shirt has differed until 1991'. Back-translating into Dutch, I think it means that it continued to change until 1991, and I've edited it to reflect that. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

message: I have updated the history section up til 2005. The section describing 2005 to present was already in place, but I suggest shortening it, as in its current form it seems a little too long.
Mentionings of scores of individual matches probably can be cut, except when it considers key-matches in the club's history like the 2015 cup final. The same goes for individual signings.
Would anyone disagree?
