[edit] Commodity floor

What is the exact name of the New York commodity market shown in the film? Badagnani 19:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

It is The New York Board of Trade (http://www.nybot.com/)
to quote "The New York Board of Trade is the designated futures market and exclusive global marketplace for Coffee “C” ® futures and options on futures contracts." The "C" is the benchmark index for coffee. Brentling 04:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Got it added. You're very knowledgeable about this subject. I just saw the film yesterday. Badagnani 04:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Any questions, happy to help - I have seen the movie several times - would recommend One Cup as a positive and hopeful balance to Black Gold... If you need more info ask. :) Brentling 04:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

That's good to know, but the original mention was too POV (read: personal opinion), hence why I changed it to a "See also," which people will probably do. I'll add links to One Cup in the Fair trade articles. Badagnani 04:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Blackgoldmovie.jpg

Image:Blackgoldmovie.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.
