I added the following: The symbol for brent crude is SC. It is traded on the NYMEX which is a London exchange. One contract equals 1,000 barrels. Contracts are quoted in US dollars. Therefore each point lost or gained equals $1,000. --Michael D. Wolok

Hi Michael,

This doesn't make sense. What is a point? Are you referring to a tick? Because the tick size is $00.01 which means that every point lost or gained equals $10 per contract.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Oil&gasprices.jpg

Image:Oil&gasprices.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.

[edit] That copyright violation

I find it quite amusing that this article was cited for copyright infringement of the referenced page, which lists Wikipedia (therefore most likely this article) as the source (see the last line). What is going on here? pencil_ethics 13:50, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
