Fair use rationale for Image:MLS Cup 2002.gif
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:MLS Cup 2002.gif 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 ensure 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Venue
[edit]- The acronyms of the National Football League should be in parentheses on its first mention
- Done
- Wikilink neutral-site venue to Home advantage#Neutral venues
- Done
- "The new stadium was built to replace the old Foxboro Stadium" - former would be more formal in this instance
- Done
Road to the final
[edit]- The United States should be delinked since it is a major geographic feature
- Done
- "a 3–2 win for New England on May 25 and a 2–1 win" - change the second instance of "win" to victory to avoid close reptition of that particular word
- Done
Los Angeles Galaxy
[edit]- Delink NFL since it is linked in the Venue section
- Done
- "Veteran forward Cobi Jones enjoyed finished second in the team's goals behind Ruiz" - better; Veteran forward Cobi Jones placed second in the team's final goals scored standings behind Ruiz

New England Revolution
[edit]- Freddy Garcia should be linked to Freddy García (footballer), not to the article on the baseball pitcher
- Done
- "New England conceded two late goals to draw 2–2 and force overtime periods." - how many overtime periods?
- Removed "periods"
Details
[edit]- Steve Nicol is Scottish and should have the flag of the Scotland and not the flag of England before his name
- Done
Post-match
[edit]- "The 2002 final was attended by 61,316 spectators," - change the text in bold to game to avoid close reptition of the word "final"
- Done
References

- Done

ACCESS
[edit]Can someone confirm that the hideous table-in-a-table format is fine for screen readers, etc? I hate to bare ping people, but hey, RexxS, any thoughts? Even from my perspective as someone who can visualise this as intened, it looks horrible. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:32, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, TRM. It certainly does look horrible, but screen readers have improved over the years and tables-inside-tables are usually coped with quite well. The structure of the "Summary of results" could be re-arranged to something like:
Regular season Los Angeles Galaxy New England Revolution 1st place in Western Conference 1st place in Eastern Conference Pos. Club Pld. W L D Pts. Pos. Club Pld. W L D Pts. 1 Los Angeles Galaxy 28 16 9 3 51 1 New England Revolution 28 12 14 2 38 2 San Jose Earthquakes 28 14 11 3 45 2 Columbus Crew 28 11 12 5 38 3 Dallas Burn 28 12 9 7 43 3 Chicago Fire 28 11 13 4 37 4 Colorado Rapids 28 13 11 4 43 4 MetroStars 28 11 15 2 35 5 Kansas City Wizards 28 9 10 9 36 5 D.C. United 28 9 14 5 32
MLS Cup Playoffs Los Angeles Galaxy New England Revolution Opponent (Pts.) 1st leg 2nd leg 3rd leg Opponent (Pts.) 1st leg 2nd leg 3rd leg Conference Semifinals Kansas City Wizards (6–3) 3–2 (a.e.t.) (H) 1–4 (A) 5–2 (H) Chicago Fire (6–3) 2–0 (H) 1–2 (A) 2–0 (H) Conference Finals Colorado Rapids (6–0) 4–0 (H) 1–0 (A) — Columbus Crew (5–2) 0–0 (H) 1–0 (A) 2–2 (H)
- but I doubt you'll find much enthusiasm for changing the layout. --RexxS (talk) 00:58, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
