Talk:Chex

my link removed
I guess I am not sure I understand why my link to my article Review of New Chocolate Chex Cereal from General Mills was removed & why it does not meet the guidelines. I ate the cereal, I liked it, I wrote a review. The article is not an ad, promotion or a way to get external links to increase my page rank it is an link to an article I wrote about a cereal that I ate and liked, it even has a bit of nutrition facts & I don't work for General Mills. Could some body please explain to me how & why it is not relevant? Lacurcio 18:12, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

A review that you wrote yourself is generally not considered a reliable source. See Wikipedia's policy on Self-published sources. --Tpoling (talk) 16:41, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Corn-chex-box.jpg
Image:Corn-chex-box.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 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 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 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.

Questions
I was wondering why at least some of the information here is not included in the article on the Ralston-Purina Company? That article focuses mostly on the pet food business portion of RP and barely mentions the cereal/foods side of the company. Thoughts?THX1136 (talk) 14:57, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Checkerboard Squarecrow
The cereals had a mascot while they were at Ralston Purina: The Checkerboard Squarecrow. I think he deserves a mention, though I don't know of a good source for information about him.
