Fair use rationale for Image:Coca Cola Logo.jpg

Coca Cola.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 Wikipedia: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.

Coca Cola information or Anti-Coke propaganda?

This page begins flows with and ends as an anti coke campaign. What's the deal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.160.144.78 (talk) 22:59, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

{{editsemiprotected}} The picture of the "Original Coca-Cola" launched in 1886 is acctully a picture of a much newer plastic bottle from the olympics and needs to be removed.

 Not done for now: Agreed, but I can't find the old picture, do you know what it was? -- /DeltaQuad|Notify Me\ 14:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

 Not done: The image in question illustrates Coca-Cola, the brand that began in 1886. Nothing in the article prevents using a modern image to illustrate the brand. If anything, a modern image is preferred for the sake of identification of the product and its current packaging. —C.Fred (talk) 14:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Uh, we are talking about in the History chart. -- /DeltaQuad|Notify Me\ 14:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

In the Brand portfolio section? That's the one I'm referring to as well. —C.Fred (talk) 17:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, just read the context. Ya, it doesn't really matter though it wouldn't hurt to have both would it? -- /DeltaQuad|Notify Me\ 20:27, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The second and third sentence are out of order.

Seriously, you've got to explain who the Coca-Cola Company is before you start using it as a source of information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.72.111.72 (talk) 05:37, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Cocaine in Coca Cola

The flavoring and the cocaine are separately extracted from the coca leaves. The flavoring, and hence Coca Cola, will inevitably always contain some trace amounts of cocaine. These trace amounts will be so small as to have no physiological effect however. This should be added to the article as it is fairly significant and clears up a lot of misconceptions. I'm guessing there are people who work for Coca Cola censoring this article though... Kernow (talk) 08:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Variants

A couple of years ago, I was in Germany and saw a green tea flavoured Coca-Cola. Apperently they are also produced and distributed in Japan aswell as other countries,source 1 and source 2. I guess they come in sizes from 330mL, 500mL (pictures on google) and 1500mL (source 2) Maybe that flavour should be added to the list? 80.167.214.3 (talk) 23:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Is this true ?!

"and hiring paramilitary units to murder trade union leaders." This is part of a sentence in the 'Criticism' section. It does not have a reference and seems very unbelievable. Can someone find a reference for this or determine whether it is false. Dylan (talk) 17:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

It is not sourced in this article, but the main article referenced at the beginning of the section (Criticism of Coca-Cola) does have more info at Criticism_of_Coca-Cola#Colombia. "True" is perhaps not the point; the claim is sourced, although not especially well.  Frank  |  talk  17:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
