Image:GFLlogo.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 10:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Alright, the map to the right is meant to display the geographic distribution of upper Bundesliga GFL teams and divisions (NOT including teams from the GFL2 league). As far as I know, its up to date with the 2010 season. If its wrong or needs to be updated, alert me on my talk page.-- Porsche997SBS ( talk) 11:27, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
All Amricans are from the US"? Have you ever heared of the continents of South- and North America? Obviously not! They are Americans too and not necessarily US citizens! Calistemon (talk) 07:46, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Sure I have. But, in both the context of American Football and in general, the noun "American", as per the Oxford English Dictionary is defined as "a native or citizen of the United States." when not used with an adjective such as "North" or "South". The term is assumed to be referring to US nationals unless such a modifying In the common vernacular, the term is used nearly exclusively to refer to United States citizens. I recognize that this point is, regardless, probably one of contention. So, I'm going to copy this discussion to the talk page of the article to get some other opinions and come back to it in a couple of days. Thanks for the commentary.

I think WP:COMMONNAME is a good point to bear in mind here. I accept the viewpoint that technically speaking there are very many people from/in "America" who are not citizens of the USA, but in everyday English usage the meaning of "American" in this context is fairly clear (especially clear if used alongside other nationalities). Alas, wikipedia is not here to right great linguistic wrongs. It might be best to use the most common name, but to add a piped link to the most accurate target. bobrayner ( talk) 12:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)— bobrayner ( talk) 12:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC) |

A certain user has repeatedly reverted additions to this article. I much doubt the user in question has much knowledge of or interest in American football in Germany. I think we should both step away from this fight (even if the user in question probably feels like "winning" right now, what with the threats they keep posting on my talk page) and let the community of those interested in the content of this page decide what to include and what not to. Please, do weigh in, but please keep it civil. Hobbitschuster ( talk) 20:15, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
