Talk:Parramatta Eels

message: Sung to the tune of Australian folk song Click go the Shears, this Club song was written in 1974:
:We Are The Eels
:You'll hear a tremendous roar go up as Parra take the field
:Just look at the blue and gold of the mighty Eels
:They’re running out so big and strong and kicking up their heels
:If you want to see how football's played then come and see the Eels.
:Flick goes the ball from man to man
:They're strong in the tackle and sure with their hands
:They play it hard and fast, that's the only way to win
:And when they post a try you should hear the fans all sing.
:Good onya Parra you're brave and bold
:You're fighting fit and true-blue and worth your weight in gold
:And when we see the other side slowly start to yield
:We raise our voices to the sky and glorify the Eels.
* In the 1980s another song was recorded by Australian singer and Eels fan Jon English and We are the Eels fell into disuse.  However, the original song was revived in the late 1990s and is now used as a victory song after home matches. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mdmanser (talk • contribs) 10:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

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.

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.

message: The usage of non-free images, such as the logo used in the infobox and the former logos which were being used in the "Name and emblem" section, is limited on Wikipedia because such images are considered to protected by copyright. Each use of such an image must satisfy all 10 of the cirteria in :WP:NFCCP and must not be any of the unacceptable uses listed in :WP:NFC#Unacceptable use. 
Non-free images are also required to have a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use (not one for multiple uses within the same article) per :WP:NFCC#10c and their use should be minimal per :WP:NFCC#3a. The image being used in the infobox is fine as the primary means of identification of the team, but there is no need to use it more than once in the same article. The reader gains no additional understanding from seeing the image used twice and there is no valid non-free use rationale which can be written to justify such use. The image can be referred to later in the article using text, but should not be displayed again.
In addition, non-free images should not be used in galleries or a gallery-like manner as was being done in the article per :WP:NFG because such usage is considered to be mainly decorative and does not show the contextual significance required by :WP:NFCC#8. When a non-free image is used outside of the infobox, it needs to be the subject of sourced commentary by reliable sources to the extent that actually seeing the image is important for the reader and removing it is detrimental to that understanding. The image should be incorporated into the text near the relevant discussion and not in a gallery of images. The non-free use rationale for such images needs to be specific for the particular use and not some generic "image is used to indentify the organization" boilerplate text and the editor wanting to use a non-free image is responsible for providing a valid non-free use rationale per :WP:NFCCE. - Marchjuly (talk) 21:45, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
