[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Galaxy Technology.png

Image:Galaxy Technology.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] Requested move

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved.

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was - not to move to GALAXY Technology as this is against naming conventions. Keith D (talk) 10:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Galaxy Technology → GALAXY Technology — Llamasharmafarmerdrama has moved GALAXY Technology to Galaxy Technology, but I think thats not correct. They logo shows "GALAXY Technology" not "Galaxy Technology", and on they official site at the subpage "ABOUT GALAXY" they write they own name all the time "GALAXY Technology" —Placi1982 (talk) 23:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Not an acronym, but a name, and the company uses it's own name with capital letters, like NVIDIA. - Placi1982 (talk) 01:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I have just requested a move for NVIDIA, thanks for pointing it out. TJ Spyke 03:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose MOS:TM is clear on this issue, we don't use names that go against proper capitalization just because the trademark owner wants is to. TJ Spyke 03:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per TJ. JPG-GR (talk) 04:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above discussion. feydey (talk) 07:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose The MoS serves to provide consistency within Wikipedia, and an all-caps non-abbreviated article title is against the consistency and the MoS. Neier (talk) 12:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose just in case people werent going to count me. Llamasharmafarmerdrama (talk) 21:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Not even close; though the logo is in a stencil typeface, all of which are normally all-caps wherever such typefaces are used, look at the way the company lists its own addresses at http://www.galaxytech.com/contactus.asp though even without that it is clearly "Galaxy Technology" in most references by anybody, even without considering our specific Wikipedia standards in this regard. We don't even need to consider a strong push by the company to use some particular capitalization, because it uses various forms itself. Gene Nygaard (talk) 16:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
