Fair use rationale for Image:CK LOGO Small.JPG

[edit]

Image:CK LOGO Small.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 Wikipedia articles 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 04:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tone and Clarity

[edit]

This article has a tone that is out-of-sync with the general tone of Wikipedia, it seems to be written in a conversational and perhaps affected style that fails to convey much information about the Travel Agency as a firm today and focuses on its history. I would try and copyedit this article but I am afraid I don't have the knowledge or understand the authors' intentions. I deleted the following because it made very little sense:

Military officers, more especially in their earlier years, are not noted for the exercise of strict economy in their private expenditure, and when the imprudent or unwary subaltern after an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve his position by a desperate resort to Epsom Downs, or to money lenders, saw ruin staring him in the face, it was to Craig's Court that he instinctively bent his steps. There he was sure of an indulgent hearing, and of such material help as the case might admit of, and often when the strict exigencies of business compelled the firm to harden their hearts against the appeal, the generosity of an individual partner would come to the rescue, and by timely aid, accompanied perhaps by a paternal warning for the future, would thus save a young life from wreck.

This seems to be saying that some young officers mismanaged their money and rather than gamble or take out loans, they would go to Cox & Kings who would help them financially somehow. Most of the article is like this, but is a bit easier to follow. I propose that someone with solid knowledge about the Cox & King's company take the information that is in the current article, edit and condense it into a "History" section, with the bulk of the information being about the current company unless it is defunct.
