Fair use rationale for Image:Dreyers LOGO jpg.jpg[edit]

Image:Dreyers LOGO jpg.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 Wikipedia articles 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 03:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haagen Dazs Example[edit]

Other manufacturers (such as Häagen-Dazs) have already followed suit and introduced "light" varieties using low-temperature extrusion.

I believe that the Häagen-Dazs branded ice cream you see in supermarkets is actually manufactured by Dreyer's. They have licensed the brand from General Mills, who own Haagen-Dazs. 69.118.100.133 (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. It appears that Pillsbury acquired Haagen-Dazs at some point, then sublicensed the brand in the U.S. to Nestle, who then sublicensed to a joint venture called the Ice Cream Company. Then Nestle took over Dreyer's and merged the Ice Cream Company into Dreyer's. So all the Haagen Dazs products in the U.S. are now actually made by Dreyer's. Notably, the two brands' Web sites share the same mailing address. --Coolcaesar (talk) 16:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edy's/Dreyer's also makes Skinny Cow. Jeremy706 (talk) 22:48, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And now we're going to make Eskimo Pies. Sorry, I work there. Jeremy706 (talk)

Sadly most of the large scale ice cream makers don't make very good ice cream -- Häagen-Daas / Dreyer's / Blue Bunny, whatever. Its a pale imitation of fine ice cream, and I realize this is just personal opinion at the moment, but ice cream quality ought to have an article. I find most of the stuff sold at Wal-Mart or Target to be barely worth buying and certainly not as good as locally made ice creams. -- Avanu (talk) 05:55, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cost-cutting section[edit]

The entire thing read like an advertisement for the company, so I cut most of it out. Tried to rephrase some things, but the source that was listed for the information didn't even contain what the original writer was citing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.81.50.193 (talk) 18:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC) The article on Unilever Ice Cream Breyer's says it is the world's largest producer of ice cream. This article says Nestle is the largest. Both statements cannot be true. So which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.2.2.45 (talk) 08:06, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 20:28, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
