Licensing

[edit]

Images in this article will need to have proper licensing done, with complete fair use criteria. This are promotional images by GM, not user created. Flibirigit 21:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly man stop ripping the pictures of the Scarborough Van Assembly page please. Feel free to make changes but leave the pics!! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.195.91.66 (talkcontribs)
Photos have been removed until proper licensing has been provided. Flibirigit 16:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The photos infringe on copyright restrictions. Putting such photos in the article puts Wikipedia at undue risk for such violations. Flibirigit 16:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think Flibirigit's right, those photos are copyright violations, and therefore cannot be on Wikipedia without the author's consent, and seeing as how these are publicity photos, I don't think you are the author like the image claims.

There is also the problem that the images do not have a valid fair use claim under Wikipedia's rules. A copyrighted picture of a van is just decoration on an article about a building/plant. Per Wikipedia policy, that has to be removed. If you really want a van in the article, I suggest grabbing your camera, and finding a van of the model that would have been built there. An image you create yourself, licenced under the GFDL or released to the public domain would be fine. Resolute 04:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History

[edit]

There are errors on this page. In particular, note that the plant did not open in 1963 producing vans. More thorough research will confirm that the site originally opened in 1952 as a factory producing Frigidaire home appliances, then switched to producing AC Delco car parts in the 1970's, then van prodcution. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wrestletim (talkcontribs) 12:04:30, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

Do you have any sources we can cite for that? Flibirigit 15:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
