Fair use rationale for Image:Horizon organic.jpg
Image:Horizon organic.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 ensure 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Section title: Controversy or Reception?
Hi E8, thanks for your comment on my talk page: Thanks also for resisting the temptation to edit war. I'm sure we can discuss this and come to an agreement. How about as a compromise we rename the section "Criticism"? What do you think?-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 17:14, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I view the "Controversy" heading as more appropriate, given the section contents. Its commonly used on WP, as is "Criticism;" in fact, the Dean Foods page has a controversy section with common content.--E8
 * Individually, this topics would be criticism. Collectively, and given the increasing breadth of issues, it indicates controversy.  Again, why call it one thing at Dean Foods and another here?  This topic is of low interest to me, and there many very well be specific rules pertaining to this that I'm unaware of, but I'm puzzled by what appears to be internal inconsistency.--E8 (talk) 23:50, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi E8, In my opinion the word 'controversy' creates an editorial POV and there are lots of inconsistencies on Wikipedia. It could be that the section in Dean Foods also needs to be changed to 'reception', so we shouldn't consider a possible mistake somewhere else as a reason to do something potentially wrong here on this article. There is an essay called WP:CRITICISM and that discourages special sections for criticism and says if they must exist they should be neutrally labelled. The essay says: "The word 'reception' is a neutral term that is often used in section titles in articles about books and films. The term 'criticism' may be appropriate if it is commonly used by the sources which discuss the topic. Likewise, sections or articles dedicated to 'controversies' should be avoided."  Another option is to mix the reception in with the rest of the article and just give a history of the company and let the 'critical' events be placed in their chronological order. Lumping them together is arbitrary and tends to give them undue weight. What do you think? PS: personally I don't buy Horizon, I use other organic brands because I don't like what I've heard about them. But... I don't think its fair to put my personal POV, or anyone's POV into a Wiki article. The article should present the information in a fair and neutral manner and let the reader decide for themselves whether the topic is controversial or not.-- — Keithbob •  Talk  • 19:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for linking the essay. In accordance, "Reception" seems like the most appropriate heading (I still think it's awkward).--E8 (talk) 22:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Lawsuits
Horizon has attracted a number of lawsuits, somewhat unusual for an organic foods company, but not especially unusual for a large food processor, and most of these appear to have been dismissed. Dismissed lawsuits aren't typically notable enough for inclusion - I've removed one from the article and may remove more. The only settled suit I found was over evaporated cane juice, reflink, though I'm not sure if even this is notable enough to include.Dialectric (talk) 06:02, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
