Untitled[edit]

Goethean - why do you keep putting copyright violation on this page? quotes are attributed to their authors. Some of the information was used from a Chicago Sun Times article from 2/14/2005 that this link uses, but it is not word -for -word. please explain. thanks and best regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.107.122.15 (talk • contribs)

You have changed a few phrases, but not enough to make it copyright-free. Please see WP:CP. If you do not stop removing the copyvio notice, you can be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — goethean ॐ 16:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bias tag[edit]

While the commercial may have launched Victory into Chicago-area prominence, it can't possibly be the only thing to write about regarding the company. If it is, the page may very well be nominated for deletion for being not notable. —Rob (talk) 20:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've written a new version of the article here. The commercial is pretty much the only thing notable about the company, but most of the nine million-ish people in the Chicago area have seen it at some point in their lives, so I think there is a sizeable potential audience for the article. If it's nominated for deletion, I'm fighting for it. :) Zagalejo 22:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like what you have written and I've altered my original entry for Victory to reflect what you've written. I am new to Wikipedia, so if I've done something wrong by doing such, I apologize! DanR1245 14:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, is the copyvio problem officially resolved? As far as I know, only an administrator is allowed to remove the copyvio tag, and it doesn't look like that's happened yet.

I guess we'll wait and see, but don't be surprised if your last few edits get reverted. I do appreciate your enthusiasm, though. Zagalejo 02:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I need to be sure that no part of the article was cut-and-pasted from another website before the copyvio tag comes off. User:DanR1245 keeps removing the copyvio tag unilaterally, which is considered vandalism and can result in being blocked from editing. — goethean ॐ 14:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Goethean, sorry about the removal of the copyvio... didn't know that was against the rules. The latest iteration of the article is mostly from User:Zagalejo, and I did make some edits but nothing from any other website. Again, my apologies for the copyvio removal... I love contributing to Wikipedia and definitely don't want to be blocked! DanR1245 10:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. As far as I can see, the current version is not a copyright violation. — goethean ॐ 16:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No more "cash line"?[edit]

Does anyone have a transcipt of the current commercial? Apparently, they've changed the "you'll get cash on the spot" line. I haven't seen the commercial on TV for a while now, so if anyone can help me, just post a message here or on my talk page. Thanks! Zagalejo 19:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I just saw the commercial on WGN, and the cash line is still there. Zagalejo 06:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Victory87.jpeg[edit]

Image:Victory87.jpeg 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.
