Fair use rationale for Image:Ukcoal logo.gif[edit]

Image:Ukcoal 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 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 16:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Waverley Site Sheffield[edit]

UK Coal is redeveloping after open cast mining the site now called Waverley at Catcliffe, that was formerly Orgreave coking works site of the Miners strike 'battle of Orgreave'.

Also involved at New Rossington Doncaster with the site of a former pit proposed for one of the governments new Eco towns scheme to build new towns.

Did RJB not go bust and UK coal was the refinanced remains that took over the assets. Sheffield City Airport was one casualty of firms demise, as the site was part of an RJB open cast site. -BulldozerD11 (talk) 13:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UK COAL history[edit]

I used to work for UK Coal, since 1984 in fact. As far as I know the company was founded by Anthony Budge- richards brother, it was A F BUDGE to start with. Then in 1993 or thereabouts, the company split into Rj budge and AF BUDGE, Rj budge later became UK Coal — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.118.182 (talk) 14:44, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An article for Harworth Group?[edit]

Hi - I have a COI as I'm Head of Investor & Stakeholder Relations for Harworth Group, which is referenced throughout this article. The company is a c.£600m market cap company listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and owns over 15,000 acres across 100 sites, including many former UK Coal sites, but doesn't have an article of its own yet. I have added the company into the requested articles page (including references in the Telegraph, the Times & Yorkshire Post), but would it help to turn the references into red links on this page to progress this further? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.188.183.106 (talk) 15:07, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
