[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kitchen computer ad.jpg

Image:Kitchen computer ad.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 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.BetacommandBot 10:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sold or not sold?

On http://www.old-computers.com/museum/doc.asp?c=927&st=1 there is a quote:

"Unfortunitly we sold some so we had to build a small production run. "

This contradicts the current source that mentions that none was sold. Do I change it?

That is a tough call. The Dr. Dobbs ref was written by Dag Spicer, curator of the Computer History Museum. The ref you found looks like it is from someone who worked at Honeywell, and I believe that he did. I wouldn't usually consider old-computers.com to be very reliable. I have found a number of errors there. The Spicer ref does say "As far as is known, no Kitchen Computers were ever sold" so maybe the museum just doesn't have records one way or the other. I would go with Don Kelemen quote about a "small production run." That covers anything from a handfull to just a few prototypes. The article should also have the mention of the cutting board changed. That may have actually been suggested by marketing, but it was clearly not designed that way by the engineers. --mikeu (talk) 23:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
