Fair use rationale for Image:Global pic logo.gif

 

Image:Global pic 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 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.

the viagogo-logo has changed, so why not change it here too? see one of the viagogo-web sites for the new logo— Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.183.76.244 (talkcontribs) 18:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Spam? Honestly just seems like one massive advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.29.66 (talk) 12:04, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Removed the massive link collection and rewrote the lead paragraph, but the page is still not encyclopedic. Thomas Nygreen (talk) 09:43, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

The page has come too far the other way. It has turned into a soapbox for people with an axe to grind with viagogo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.140.206 (talkcontribs)

Criticism

German-language report about buyers in Germany purchasing tickets via Viagogo that turned out to be invalid. Attempts to contact Viagogo about problems resulted in a paper chase to find someone responsible. It ended in London, where they were told that no questions would be answered.

On 18th March 2016 viagogo were selling 11 tickets to Radiohead concerts in the UK (Face value £65) for a total of £15,389.95. This "fact" was posted on their wikipedia page (with reference to their own website) and has been removed twice. Perhaps the page should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.91.78 (talk) 07:52, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
This article is an excellent example of how WP can be manipulated for PR purposes. This company has a dreadful reputation and regularly attracts criticism. There isn't the slightest mention of any of this. --Ef80 (talk) 11:40, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
The article is now a much more representative portrayal of this company. Thanks to all editors responsible, who have fought a ceaseless battle to revert WP:COI editing by Viagogo staffers and PRs. --Ef80 (talk) 13:13, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

"Bundesliga": Some different view... It was not just "dismissed": Today viaNogo got a kick in its bloody ass by Schalke 04, mostly because of the many fans who did not accept this kind of selling tickets. Of course, officially the Schalke management spoke about duties of the contract vianogo did not fullfill ("Verträge sind dazu da, um eingehalten zu werden – das gilt immer für beide Vertragspartner. Viagogo hat durch sein Verhalten gezeigt, dass ihnen dazu der Wille fehlt." Clemens Tönnies.) But in GE it is well-known why: http://schalker-block5.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=34013&pageNo=1 Btw, at the moment you still can purchase "cheap" tickets at the vng-site for the Derby: http://www.viagogo.de/Sport-Tickets/Fussball/1-Bundesliga/FC-Schalke-04-Karten/E-551733 Unfortunatly not yet available at the Schalke-site. :-)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.108.212.150 (talkcontribs) 20:10, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
