Talk:Fandango Media

I have edited the article which was a large percentage negative (not NPOV) toward Fandango, Inc. for charging a mere $1.50 for using their services. Of course this should be mentioned, but negative comments did not need to be made about a business actually charging money for their services. Using Fandago is a convienence, and the phrase "PRICE GOUGING" which was in the article implies that they are charging too much money when consumers have no alternative on how to get the product. They can go to the theatre box office and avoid paying the $1.50 easily...if they want to not wait in line they choose to patronize Fandango and pay the fee. Also the fact that "many people" feel that it is unfair is ad populum/hasty generalization that I have never heard about Fandango before (I work for a movie exhibitor and use/talk to others that use Fandango) without any reference other than the author's "first hand" accounting Penguincube 02:25, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fandangologo.gif
Image:Fandangologo.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fandango and movies.com
I recently reverted an edit that was full of profanity, negative WP:POV, and unsourced claims of criticisms against the new moives.com as acquired by Fandango. At first, I thought the edit was complete vandalism, however, a check of the front page of movies.com today (6/18/2008) shows an announcement that movies.com has joined the Fandango family. (Direct quote: "Movies.com has joined the Fandango family! Learn more." The "learn more" link, however, is javascript and not reproducible here.)  Therefore, there may be some value to the edit I removed, if it can be cleaned up. I couldn't get enough text out of it to make it usable, since I can't confirm the date it happened and I doubt it happened in the future (tomorrow), but it is possible someone else would like to. (The IP that made the edit 97.86.125.49, shows up as located in St. Louis, MO, USA, where it is most definitely not yet 6/19/2008.) As such, I'm not re-adding any of the text I reverted. The diff is here, should anyone else wish to research this and add a sentence about the movies.com acquisition. &hArr; &int;Æ S   dt  @ 19:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

New Logo and Content Hi. I work for Fandango.com and wanted update the content and logo. I erased the logo you guys had because it was an outdated one. When I tried to upload the new one it wouldn't let me. Would you put an updated one back? I can send it to you if you need it. Also, I have some updated content I would like you guys to incorporate into the page. I have included it below. Thanks and let me know if you any questions. Jenny

Atom Tickets advertisement
The paragraph on Atom Tickets seems out of place. It doesn't even mention Fandango in the paragraph, it's just a full-on advertisement. "Notable newcomer", "most influential movie studios", "impressive list of advisers", etc. This either needs to be reduced and put into the context of competition, or deleted entirely.
