On another page in the Wikipedia, the classification of "light," "intermediate," or "heavy" is described, and it might reasonably be expected that these terms are mutually exclusive. So it comes as a bit of a surprise that WTI is actually "light" rather than "intermediate." Can someone who knows the ins and outs of this explain the apparent conflicts within the nomenclature, either here on the talk page, or in the article itself?

I would like to know why WTI crude used as a benchmark in oil pricing and when it became at this attribute?
There is at least one partial date on this page. Dates should include a year unless it is an anniversary type date
- No there isn't. I believe you are referring to the May 24 reference, which is in a section headed 2007. Constantly quoting the year when discussing that year's events is redundant and distracting. 79.77.32.208 (talk) 18:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.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.
