BR Bullpen:Featured Article Candidates/2008 Olympics
Support Nice day-by-day review of the last baseball appearance in the Olympics. - --Mischa (talk) 13:16, 30 June 2015 (EDT)
Support As mentioned in the talk page: "better than the wikipedia page on the same topic". Lots of familiar names in that tournament. --Philippe (talk) 11:19, 1 July 2015 (EDT)
Support Good topic, well done. Too bad there's no images from the competition, but I don't know if any fair use pics exist. --Jeff (talk) 12:43, 1 July 2015 (EDT)
There's a baseball card we have of Strasburg from the 2008 Olympics but I'd prefer an image from the games themselves, not just one player. - --Mischa (talk) 12:54, 1 July 2015 (EDT)
I'd go with which ever one is available or can work. For instance, is the picture of the game a good one? I've seen pictures of games where the shots were taken at a distance or an aerial shot. With Strasburg, is there another player in the background? Can you see what said player clearly? If you can see the other player, then use the picture otherwise go with the game picture. - Yuriy 43.
Support Nice article. We do need a photo though Oaktree_b (talk) 17:32, 4 July 2015 (EDT)
