Talk:Shell USA

I have created a page for Shell Oil Company for the following reasons:

• It is a very large American company indeed - with a long history.
• SOC is the market leader in the USA
• Other large affiliates of Shell also have their own entries (e.g. Shell Canada)

Fair use rationale for Image:Shell logo (USA).jpg

Image:Shell logo (USA).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 Wikipedia articles 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 Wikipedia: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 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.BetacommandBot 16:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense. If you remove this image you will have to remove every fair use LOGO upload. PaddyBriggs 16:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

What the bot was griping about was that no fair use rationale was spelled out on the image's page, although, admittedly, it is getting a little rediculous when the bots start flagging images that are ID'd with the logo template. It's fixed now, though. MrZaius^talk 16:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks friend! Well done! PaddyBriggs 16:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)

Liquids expand as temperatures rise and they contract when temperatures decrease. Gasoline has a high expansion coefficient. Five years ago major Canadian oil companies, with the approval of Measurement Canada, accepted a system devised by U.S. oil refiners for their upstream operations and set a retail industry standard of temperature compensation at 15 degrees Celsius. As such, most retailers in Canada now have temperature compensated equipment that adjusts to that standard. It is a fact that 15 degrees Celsius is the American Petroleum Institute's accepted standard at the time of product transfer between refinery pipelines, ships and terminals. However, in all northern US states where the average ambient temperature is below that mark, industry practice, or law, excludes the sale of petroleum on a corrected basis into tank trucks or retail. In most states where the average temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius, retailers sell product on an ambient basis. 23:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)23:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)Manic mechanic (talk) 23:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
