Fair use rationale for Image:Fww masthead 02.jpg

Image:Fww masthead 02.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 ensure 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.

Take Back the Tap?

I'm surprised that there's no mention of Take Back the Tap, one of Food & Water Watch's larger campaigns, on here. I would add some information on it myself, but as I am Food & Water Watch's office manager, I have a significant conflict of interest here. Thus I'm refraining from making major edits to the article myself. Can someone take the lead here? I can help with some sourcing. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BP Atlantis lawsuit

I've added a citation for an article about FWW's complaint in US federal court regarding safety at the BP Atlantis oil platform in a "further reading" section. In the interest of full disclosure, I work for Food & Water Watch, and so I'm leaving it at that, and strongly encouraging others to expand and update the article, hopefully using this citation.

Outdated information

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Disclosure: I'm an employee of Food & Water Watch. This page was created some time ago and it's missing many of our most important recent campaigns, including Take Back the Tap as another user mentioned, as well as our campaign to ban fracking (with the successful ban in New York in 2014 which we contributed to significantly as a founding member of New Yorkers Against Fracking), our campaign for GMO labeling, and ED Wenonah Hauter's recent books, Foodopoly and Frackopoly. Assistance in getting this page updated would be terrific! Josmiles (talk) 16:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. User:Josmiles st170e^talk 11:26, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed New Section: Fluoridation Lawsuit

I propose this wording:

In Food and Water Watch et. al. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency et. al., Judge Chen ruled that water fluoridation poses an “unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children…a risk sufficient to require the EPA to engage with a regulatory response…One thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court’s finding, is to ignore that risk.” https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-and-energy/epa-must-reduce-fluorides-risks-to-childrens-iq-court-says A plethora of other references are available if needed.
