[edit] Source
I'm not sure that saying the image can be obtained from the organization is enough. We need to provide "Proper attribution of the source of the material", which I take to mean the web address from which the image was obtained. Λυδαcιτγ 19:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- The policy only requires that the copyright holder be identified - the requirement for a specific web link to where the image came from is mythical. (it is recommended, but not an absolute requirement - not everything comes from online, after all) —Random832 19:27, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] broken?
Did something break in this template? It used to display perfectly fine, but now on images where it's been used, it's showing the NEEDS ARTICLE NAME information for images where the name has been used. See this for an example of what I'm talking about. Esrever 21:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- This template is working. What happened is someone reinstated the change to template:Non-free media rationale and the way it handles article names. I flipped it back so things should be working now. But if someone reverts the change to the other template, we'll have to revert the change to this one too. Wikidemo 22:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notice: proposal that will make this template obsolete.
There is a proposal at Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria/Proposal that would create a templated use rationale for logos. That proposal would, presumably, make this template obsolete by authorizing a replacement. Comments about that proposal would be very welcome; please put them on the talk page of the proposal, not here. Assuming the proposal is accepted we'll probably deprecate it at some point and ask people not to use it anymore. Existing uses might be left alone or converted automatically to the new format, which will probably be simpler and easier to use. Wikidemo 01:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fields
I'd recommend changing a field name that displays in the edit screen. To Replaceability, one is inclined to type None, when in actuality, it should be No, because the display field is Replaceable?. - Dudesleeper Talk 16:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

This template is to help users write fair use rationales for non-free logos as required by [[WP:NFC]] and [[WP:LOGO]]. Include this in the [[Help:Image page|image description page]] after the {{[[Template:Non-free logo|non-free logo]]}} template, once for each time you insert the logo graphic into an article.

Can the above change be made? This removes some hard breaks from the template, removing unneeded whitespace from above and below the template. This should have no effect on the functionality of the template. ~ PaulT+/C 16:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

- I think the change screwed up the spacing on some FURs. For example, check out Image:MozillaPrism.png, which I know looked fine before the changes. Specifically, there should be a space between the words "logo" and "for" in the title. Also note that, on Image:Tekzilla.png, there should be a space between the two sentences (one automatically created and one custom) under "Source." I don't know if this second spacing issue was caused by the recent change, but it would make sense. Please take a look. Thanks! —LinkTiger (talk) 04:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] singular vs. plural
{{editprotected}}
Hi there! There's currently a grammatical error in this template. In the "Use" field, all of the use descriptions essentially include this same line
The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the reader they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. (Emphasis mine.)
Reader is singular, while they is, obviously, plural. Can this field be reworded to say either "assure the reader that he or she has reached the right article" or, preferably, "assure readers that they have reached the right article"? Sorry to be a Grammar Nazi, but it's just wrong as written. Cheers! Esrever (klaT) 15:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
