[edit] Dennis Washington
The anonymous editor must really be a fan of Dennis Washington. Makes it sound like he forsaw the recent spike in copper prices. Nevermind that copper prices took over 20 years to hit that spike after he bought the Montana holdings of the former Anaconda Co. He does deserve some credit for getting the Continental Pit going (as a non-union mine in Butte!) and selling (at a good profit) most of it to ASARCO before the real hard times in the copper business hit.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arco logo global 180x144.jpg
Image:Arco logo global 180x144.jpg 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.
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 19:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
The external link to "ARCO PumpPass Website" points to a gift-card reseller's ordering page. A better choice might be http://www.arco.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=16002893&contentId=7022990, the program's page at the ARCO company website. The reseller is linked from the program page, so nothing is lost. Alternatively, the link name might be changed to "Order ARCO PumpPass cards" or something equally descriptive.
- Deleted as advertising. Thanks. Cheers -- Geologyguy 22:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Promotional material
More on this note: The REST of the statements at the bottom of this page("patented gasoline," stuff about PumpPass, etc seem like blatent advertisements. Completely do NOT belong on this page! Since when did Wikipedia start promoting its subjects? Come on, people. Oryx Tempel 23:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Good point, and I removed the material. But rather than saying, "Come on, people", you can (and should) feel free to remove it yourself. Best, MCB 01:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
