[edit] Merge proposal with Revell - they are a single company now

Monogram and Revell are a single company now - Monogram name is used for a single line of model kits. Proposing that they be merged into a single article (with misc redirects). --Eqdoktor 16:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I would say no to merge, for the fact they were at one time rivals who happened to be brought out by the same parent company, also for the fact the German operation is a independent company as claimed by the Revell page, who also list Monogram as an imports/export to the US, as I have a few catalogues of both companies of the 1990s to prove this.

I think they should be merged, but with paragraphs on each as they were previously separated. If you do this, then the German (and Chinese/Asian) Revell franchises would need to be listed separately, as they are separate. mercator79 21:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I vote against merging. I wrote a short (fictional) story years ago based on the competition between Monogram and Revell. I am about to re-publish this story for my grandchildren. This information probably would not have found by searching had it been included with Revell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.156.63.22 (talk) 17:00, August 30, 2007 (UTC)


I think merging would be fine, as long as a search for Monogram would point to the merged page. Same for Revell. --Kding 08:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MonogramCatalogMontage.jpg

Image:MonogramCatalogMontage.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 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.
