[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tekel logo.jpg
Image:Tekel logo.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 04:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Accuracy
According to the Shaw & Shaw source, the Régie was a German-French compagnie, called [Societé de la] Régie cointéressée des tabacs de l'empire Ottoman. No mention of "Narquileh tobacco". The 1911 reference does mention it, but not as a company, but just as a type of tobacco: "and Narquileh tobacco (called "tumbeki" and used in "hubble-bubbles") is in the hands of a similar organization". Again according to Shaw & Shaw, the tobacco trade was originally a state monopoly, but was turned over to the private Régie company in 1883. Régie rendered in Turkish is Reji; it was just the same company and there is no reason for all caps as if this is an initialism or acronym. --Lambiam 13:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
