[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FSStorefront.png

Image:FSStorefront.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Labor

There are two issues:

• ) Even if treated in another article we need to mention it here because it is relevant to the company.
• ) We cannot trim too much since then the section where the CEO talks about their measures against child labor would be too heavy. To solve that we could trim both sections but between trimming two sections and leaving things as they are I'd rather leave things as they are. Brusegadi 01:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Isn't this article proof that international corporations & the US wage system causes world poverty? It proves it to me. Whebn we end it we'll quickly end world poverty to end human suffering. Sundiii (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reformatting

Just a quick explanation for my reformatting. I'm fundamentally opposed to criticism sections and Travb's renaming of the section triggered my memory on why I didn't like that section. In keeping with that, the contents within the section are large enough to constitute their own sections without "hiding" them by using the semicolon technique, so I just eliminated the section header and turned all the semicolons into section breaks. The military contract section really isn't large enough to have its own section, so just eliminated the header and smooshed it into the "early history" section. I also sent the jingle section to the bottom since it really is just a "factoid" so, not that important to the all around article. Other than that the reformatting was relatively minor cleanup fixes.--Bobblehead ^(rants) 18:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Bridgestone logo.png

The image Image:Bridgestone logo.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.
