Talk:American Society for Quality

Fair use rationale for Image:ASQ-Logo.gif
Image:ASQ-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.

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 17:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Just for my two cents, I would say if the company - or its agent - (see my comment below) is the primary author of the page, then putting the logo in there would be legal, right? I mean, they hold the trademark, they can do what they want with it, right? (this is somewhat sarcastic, as Wikipedia, IIRC, is not a forum for advertisement or promotion by a company or its agent) Brettpeirce (talk) 17:34, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect information
The first line states "American Society for Quality (ASQ), formerly known as American Society for Quality Control (ASQC), is a knowledge-based global community of quality control experts, with nearly 85,000 members dedicated to the promotion and advancement of quality tools, principles, and practices in their workplaces and in their communities."

I will never agree to the word "expert," but I will use it here. ASQ is not only a group of quality control experts, but is also a group of quality assurance experts, process improvement experts, and organizational excellence experts. Quality control is an outdated, but not obsolete, concept and a minor part of what ASQ promotes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.85.192.241 (talk) 14:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
