Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.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.

Removed 3rd paragraph pertaining to food prices
The source no longer existed, and thus this paragraph added nothing to the article, especially in consideration that was merely time-based speculation on a future event.

Who does this apply to?
The opening passage states: "as income rises, the proportion of income spent on food falls..." Who's income? Does this refer to individual income or a country's income, or some other group or class? Rkedge (talk) 12:44, 15 July 2019 (UTC)


 * It applies to economic agents that act as final consumers. This includes all families and individuals. Essentially, it applies to everyone across every group. The more your income, the smaller the share of that income will be spent on food. For the rich and the poor both. 194.65.139.197 (talk) 16:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
