Untitled[edit]

I see nothing in the following text to warrant Advert tags. "Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability.

Did you read through the part on WP:COI about the Self Promotion which those sections would be in violation of. The following has been copied and pasted from the WP:COI to show what I mean.

Self-promotion

Conflict of interest often presents itself in the form of self-promotion, including advertising links, personal website links, personal or semi-personal photos, or other material that appears to promote the private or commercial interests of the editor, or their associates.

Now That clearly shows that listing the prices and clearly violate those terms right there. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 19:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are no personal website links, personal or semi-personal photos - so there goes that theory. Mjrmtg 22:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "other" parking lots I mention in the article are not mine, I do not know those people at all. I was just listing alternatives that people would enjoy instead of paying the full parking cost. Mjrmtg 23:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- How about this reason here under 4. at WP:DIRECTORY#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory, Can you fulfill the requirements there for the prices to be displayed on this page. Can you give a justified reason why those prices should be listed? Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 06:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because the prices are facts? I can reference their website for the park's prices if you want. --Mjrmtg 18:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you can cite the price source that will help. I am currently seeking a Expert on thse advertisement policy hopfully someone can shed some light on this as non of the policys and Guidlines I cited seem to spicifcly state that format here, mainly external links. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 02:37, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The concerts and price information has been listed all year and now someone has a problem with it? --Mjrmtg 13:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes it takes that long to notice guildline violations. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 18:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Must be a slow year --Mjrmtg 18:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For now I am leaving up the prices on attractions as their website is down and we can't verify rather those prices should be there or not for now, I will leave them up for a few more days, but remember Wikipedia is not an Advertising space and that part probably should be there anyway. If you can find it in a policy that states that type of list is encyclopedic please post it here. Also I am seeking the advice of a Wikipedia Expert on these policy and why it doesn't specifcally state that those price sections are not allowed and maybe answer our questions better.

Also I have redone some citations to a more standard Wiki Format. I would love to cite the Annual Events Source, but their web site is down. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 02:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PK, I have requested Help here at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Wild_Adventures_Price_list_sections.. We will find out soon hopefully rather these sections are acceptable or not. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 02:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does appear that per what they stated over there at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Wild_Adventures_Price_list_sections. That those sections still violate CSD G11, He also mentions the article Six Flags as a benchmark example. I am gonna go ahead and remove those sections, per this statement. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 02:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW do not revert until you ask about it here at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Wild_Adventures_Price_list_sections., If that section is archived please open a new topic on that page and post a link to it here. Sawblade05 ⁽^{talk to me} ^| ^{my wiki life}⁾ 02:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just another example of someone tagging an article and/or removing content instead of improving the article. You have never contributed to this article in the past. You type of editors are amazing. --Mjrmtg 11:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Walogo.png[edit]

Image:Walogo.png 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.
