[edit] Notice of COI

I hereby declare that I as a user have a conflict of interest in this article. I am an employee of Sinclair Knight Merz. I created the text of the original article. In attempting to avoid COI in creating the article I first asked for help via the [| Help Desk] of November 27 2007. In this request, I was seeking help in creating / publishing an NPOV article about the company. The firm had already been linked to several times in other Wiki articles (not by me). I was up-front about disclosing my COI and wanted to engage assistance in making sure I was not breaking any rules.

I created a dummy article via my Talk page for other Wikipedians to offer their advice. The general consensus of that Help Desk discussion was that the article was OK in terms of NPOV but needed some citation. That I did. There was also suggestion that I try and enlist help off the WikiProject Engineering page. I posted there on 28 November but had no response.

I then posted on the [Help Desk] of 17 December 2007 asking for additional help in making sure I was doing the right thing. Via this request, the page was published/moved from my talk page to its own article page.

My immediate intentions are to have a trawl through Wikipedia and make sure that any current mentions of the company are properly directed to this page.

I hope other users will respect all that I have done to avoid COI and abuse/advertising issues. I am a regular private user of Wikipedia and I don't want to resort to sock-puppets to get the article posted. --Mat Hardy (Affentitten) (talk) 03:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sinclair knight merz logo.jpg

Image:Sinclair knight merz logo.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
