Fair use rationale for Image:Am logo.gif

Image:Am logo.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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.BetacommandBot 17:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:SBC Communications logo.svg

The image Image:SBC Communications logo.svg 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.

The following images also have this problem:

• File:Ameritech logo.png
• Image:SBGN.jpg

Illinois Bell → AT&T IllinoisAT&T Illinois – WP:COMMONNAME - The trade name for Illinois Bell was changed in 2006 to AT&T Illinois, which appears to be the more common usage since then in news coverage of the company. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 22:47, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

• Comment This article is entirely unreferenced. It should be WP:BLARed and redirected to Bell System unless and until proper evidence of WP:N is shown. 162 etc. (talk) 02:07, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
• Withdraw and BLAR: Yeah, 162 etc. is correct, this is probably the better outcome. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 04:20, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

  @UmbyUmbreon would you like to withdraw this requested move? —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 22:46, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

  D'oh, that was already stated quite explicitly. Will do. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 22:48, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
