[edit] New Zealand

What happened with eagle boys in NZ? I cant find anything other than they were market leaders after 4 years in business in NZ...

[edit] Sources

  • This article needs some sources for its assertions please--A Y Arktos\talk 09:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Especially the part about American politician James Griffin owning part of the company. When I Googled "James Griffin" "Eagle Boys", only this Wikipedia entry came up. And the article states he moved to Dubbo in the 90's, However the Wikipedia entry on James Griffin said he was still involved with American local governments up until 2005, and makes no mention of Australia. Sounds to me like this may be completely bogus. Perhaps its an attempt by a competitor to discredit Eagle Boys as an Australian owned company (which they are according to their website). Or maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but something doesn't seem right here. Samatic 17:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


  • I removed the unverified information. The edit alledging James Griffin is a shareholder came from 203.134.90.65. A similar edit from 203.134.90.66 - possibly the same individual - was made to the Dubbo, New South Wales entry alledging that "Mark Griffin generates the weather in Dubbo with his weather machine." Judging by the about.com wikipedia mirror, the Dubbo entry once asserted James Griffin was a resident. It no longer does so.

[edit] NPOV dispute

This page reads largely as an advertisment to me, mainly the sections that claim "Eagle Boys strives to provide a quality product to all its customers." and "Eagle Boys wish to deliver a quality product to the locations within areas with less competition". I have added a NPOV tag to the page. Smartaalec 16:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Yea, that doesn't sit well with me. There doesn't seem to be any objections (it's been unchecked since Oct.) so I've removed it — Mobius 18:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Eaglelogo.gif

Image:Eaglelogo.gif 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.
