Fair use rationale for Image:Thomasbata2.jpg

Image:Thomasbata2.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.

Language

This (or at least parts, didn't check it all) could use a rewrite in better English. No offense against my fellow Czechs (who else would contribute to a page about Baťa, eh?), but unless we want to shift this to Simple English, something should be done about the grammar. It's a shame, too, it's a nice long page for someone who was mostly active outside the English-speaking world (granted, he had factories and shops everywhere, but himself pretty much stayed in Zlín, then-Czechoslovakia). I'd do it myself, and if I remember I will, but right now I'm swamped in work that has to get precedence. 89.102.231.111 (talk) 23:15, 16 May 2011 (UTC) User:Misacek01 currently logged out

Further comment

It must be clear that this "listing of key building and urban development carried by the Bata group" has some connecting to the bata group, but is inappropriate in a biographical article. -- 21:08, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
