Example image
I'd like to have some sort of example image, this article is in the same boat as advertising, brand, etc. That is, fair-use images probably can't be used here, and even photos taken by users (of toys, or posters, etc) are probably derivative works, and also probably can't be used. The photo I posted is from the commons, and so is theoretically free to use, but it's probably better in the long run to use a very old photo that's clearly not covered by copyright. --Interiot 22:40, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think the image used to illustrate the concept of merchandising should not be referred to any religion. Religion aims, unlike corporations, are purely spiritual and with this image one could consider that the aims of the Catholicism are material or related to the marketing. Not having something better, I suggest the use of the GNU baseball caps as an illustration of merchandising. http://www.gnu.org/gear/baseball-cap.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.5.77.217 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 12 August 2006
Supply Chain
I've added the Supply Chain practice also known as merchandising. While invisible to the average consumer, manufacturer/wholesaler merchandising costs run into the billions of dollars each year and are a substantial part of the total delivered cost of goods to the consuming public. Due to its expense, many of the manufacturer/wholesalers are looking for alternative means to get this done, including paying the retail stores to do their own merchandising, or using third party special services companies who can field merchandiser teams on behalf of more than one manufacturer. --User:EarlT 16:00, 12 June 2006
Adult-oriented
Lowrykun 21:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Is "adult-oriented merchandising" delivering the proper connotation? (EX: 'adult-oriented films').
Fair use rationale for Image:Wpcoffeemug.jpg
Image:Wpcoffeemug.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.
