Revisionism

Fair use rationale for Image:Motivational Picture Example.JPG

Image:Motivational Picture Example.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 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.

Anyone think the content about despair.com reads like an ad for their product? They're not the only site that does that, and I think that whole thing originally started with the Star Trek posters. Peaceoutside 07:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Demotivationals

If you search "motivational poster" on google ( http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=motivational+poster )it'll bring up demotivationals. I think it's safe to say demotivationals have surpassed motivationals in popularity especially in the international scene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.121.65.239 (talk) 19:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's even Star Trek motivational posters!

Thanks for the link! I was wondering where my boss found that expandability poster! Pottersson (talk) 04:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Font?

Anyone know what font(s) are most commonly associated with (de-)motivators? Wormwoodpoppies (talk) 18:28, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Article

I added an article in the references section that appears in a Chicago Newspaper about How to Make your own Motivational Poster. If this is not the right place please move to the correct location. Motivate Me in 3 easy steps --Dkaufman1 (talk) 02:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't add links to your own web site. See WP:COI and WP:SPAM - MrOllie (talk) 12:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the policy. The syndicated column is actually one that appears in print in a local Chicago Area Newspaper with a reach of 200K. I do republish it on my site, as an online option for readers. As I understand the policy it would fit. I am not promoting a motivational poster site where I do business. The column is an informative and educational article. Do you disagree?--Dkaufman1 (talk) 13:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ELNO points 4 and 11, we don't allow promotional linking to blogs or personal sites. - MrOllie (talk) 14:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Typo

Reference 4 - it is Stuart - not Stuar - Biddle. Autochthony notes. 0908z 6.6.10 81.155.135.136 (talk) 09:07, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV Policy and Promotion of a specific company

After reading this article I immediately thought of this Wikipedia policy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTADVERTISING Which is the policy that states that Wikipedia is not a tool to promote or Advertise for companies or groups. I got the impression from my read through that this article is promoting a specific company 'Sucessories.com'. The entire Intent section of the article reads like an advertisement for Sucessories, describing some of their products and how popular they are. The assertation that Sucessories popularized the motivational poster format is unsubstantiated and no evidence is cited for why Sucessories is notable enough to be included in a large part of the article. Furthermore, the first image is a Sucessories product and again links users to the Sucessories web site. Are there any other opinions out there about this article and its compliance with WP:NPOV and WP:NOTADVERTISING?
