Fair use rationale for Image:FortescueLogo.gif
Image:FortescueLogo.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 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.

Controversy at Solomon Hub
Section inserted by WP:SPA is more about native title negotiations and splinter groups. YAC video and website fails WP:NPOV and WP:NOTNEWS. I've removed it now. Please discuss here before reinstating. Moondyne (talk) 03:59, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

How about a version of the following text added to "Solomon Hub"?

Court actions regarding Solomon Hub
FMG lodged applications for three mining leases in the Solomon Hub area in 2008, and began negotiations with the native title holders through the Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (YAC). Negotiations broke down and the YAC lodged its opposition to the grant of the three licenses to the Native Title Tribunal in 2009, initially failing to win orders preventing the grant of the licenses. The YAC also failed in its initial Federal Court appeal of that decision last year, and the State Government issued the mining licenses to FMG in late November 2010. Both FMG and the YAC are now waiting on the results of a new appeal to the Full Bench of the Federal Court.

COI Notification
Have just had a look at the Wikipedia rules about conflict of Interest and need to disclose that I am a non-management employee at Fortescue Metals. Because of potential COI I have made edits but have limited these to information that Fortescue has publicly disclosed to the ASX. If anyone has an issue with the edits I have made or with me continuing to upload information please let me know and I can place information here on the talk page for someone else to upload.

Orphaned references in Fortescue Metals Group
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Fortescue Metals Group's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ar": From BHP:  From Rio Tinto Group:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:42, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
