Talk:Federal League

Removed entry

The last entry was removed for being "irrelevant" (referring to Newark's current indie minor league team). If that is so, then the references to Brooklyn, Buffalo, and Indianapolis are as well. The Newark reference simply added the fourth FL team without current major league status. If it is irrelevant, then all minor league references are. If the Brooklyn, Buffalo, and Indianapolis references are relevant, then so is Newark's.

I don't care which is the case, as long as we're consistent. Couillaud 14:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you're right. It was too early in the morning. I put it back. d:) Wahkeenah 00:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:FederalLeaguelogo.PNG

Image:FederalLeaguelogo.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 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 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 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.

bargaining potential of free agency for the first time

The second paragraph of the article currently says "The competition of another, better paying league caused players' salaries to skyrocket, demonstrating the bargaining potential of free agency for the first time." The "first time" claim is unsupported, and quite wrong.

Just a little over a decade earlier, the new American League filled the same role. Salaries skyrocketed, and for the same reasons as they did in 1914.

The American League probably would qualify for a "first time" claim either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DiffuseGoose (talk • contribs) 12:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1913 or 1914?

Why are teams listed for 1913 - especially Cleveland and Covington - while the info box gives the inaugural season as 1914? Even though 1913 was not a "major league" year, shouldn't that be considered the true inaugural season? Elsquared (talk) 07:54, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Elsquared: I made a couple of small changes to address this; hop they help. 2600:1006:B129:A994:B945:D20A:9451:85D (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FL playoffs?

Does anyone know how the Federal League playoffs were set up? Did they even have a playoff schedule? Elsquared (talk) 00:48, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
