Negro League HoF stats

Neil,

Hi and thanks for the offer. If these include all who were nominated, then I can use them. If they are the 39 finalists but not the 94 total nominees (the first includes Buck O'Neil but not Chino Smith), I already have that data. I'm working primarily from it and from the stats provided in the book, Shades of Glory. Whichever is the case, thanks very much for the offer. -- Couillaud 15:21, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Neil, I have sent you an email to request the data you have. It might not be any different than what I already have, but we shouldn't take the chance.  :-) BTW, I have added career stats for Ray Dandridge and Pop Lloyd since you made your offer, though Dandrige's is truncated by the dropping of the color bar, and his entry into OB, while more than half of Lloyd's career is missing due to that much being before the founding of the NNL. Thanks again. -- Couillaud 13:57, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Thanks for the notice re: the Maxime Lefevre images. Does this apply to all images at the Rouen Huskies website? They gave us permission two years ago - see http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/User:Oaktree_b#Rouen76_also_gave_us_a_positive_response - --Mischa 20:07, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Hi Neil. Mischa told me to contact you. I think those images were likely taken from the FFBSC website that you were asked to remove. I know we got permission from Xavier Rolland from the Huskies to use the images on their website for here. The FFBSC might not be as willing to share them.... Oaktree_b 19:17, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

Ok, I've come across quite a few of his photos on the Huskies website, I had assumed the Huskies had been authorized to use his photos (I assumed they bought them from him) and then could give us permission. It should be removed then. Strange, because if you read the permission above from Xavier Rolland, it says to credit the photographer (this Christophe Elise who contacted you) if we use one of his photos.

Calendar

Thanks for fixing the item on Bert Campaneris in the calendar. Unfortunately, there are a few of these events on the wrong date, and it's very hard to pick them up. --Philippe 08:27, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
