Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg[edit]

Image:NS 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 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.

Comments

Link Toa Payoh in the lead.
" a set of colourful tiles " coloured perhaps (colourful sounds like a tourist brochure).
"Exit D of Toa Payoh MRT station." no full stop required, it's a fragment.
"to relief the" relieve.
"Thomson-Sembawang" -> "Thomson–Sembawang"
"Novena stations and" is there a link for Novena?
"S$96.8 million (US$45.81.." as per the other review, reduce $ conversion to 1 decimal place for this and others.
Could link topping out.
"As an effort for people to get familiar.." -> "In an effort to familiarise people with..."
" sneak preview" no need "sneak", not encyclopedic.
""987. About 44,000 people" merge with "during which time"
"During the opening, Toa Payoh ..." station is mentioned three times in this one sentence... repetitive.
"has been replaced" ->"was replaced".
"The name, Toa Payoh, means..." -> "Toa Payoh means..."
"Interchange, HDB Hub,[34] " HDB Hub can be linked here (and in the lead)
"the Braddell and " link?
"Concourse level of the station." no full stop required, it's a fragment.
" Giving a sense of movement, the rainbow colours represent various races" delete, the next sentence covers it more encyclopedically.
Ref 26 has a spaced hyphen, should be en-dash.
Ref 24, work should be in italics.
It says "Opened 7 November 1987" in infobox but then it says "The station opened for passenger service on 7 November 1989" is this a typo?

That's all, nice and neat. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
