Fair use rationale for Image:KXCI Logo.gif edit

 

Image:KXCI Logo.gif 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 04:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rationale template added to image page. Feel free to doublecheck that I did it right! -- Karen | Talk |

I'm Jim Anderson, I was there from before the frequency was found until 1985, and in fact am the volunteer that came up with the calls. I put in the history due to the fact that few who run across the article really would remember it. Drop a note below if anything seems out of place, or there are other questions.

On the question of station logos, it is often considered fair use to display logos for ease in identifying the station. Some radio station fan sites often have galleries of past and present logos for stations in the areas the fan sites cover. A quick history of KXCI's logo is that it originally featured an old-time logo radio with the calls on it. Since the newer logo is much more recent I don't know when or how it was developed.

If anyone has very early copies of the station newsletter known then as the 'Audio File' or promotional materials printed during the period the station was waiting to receive its construction permit, please feel free to scan in the old logo too, that will add to the article. I wrote a column in that for three years on radio happenings in the Tucson market including format changes, call letters, and new stations, etc.

It looks like most of the citations for this article will have to come from archival research. I have had trouble using the AZ Daily Star archives to verify some of the information Jim provided (it appears the Star talked very little about KXCI in the early years), and the Tucson Citizen morgue is in even worse shape. Does anyone know where copies of Audio File might be archived? 24.251.236.89 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
