Fair use rationale for Image:National Semiconductor logo.gif

Image:National Semiconductor logo.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 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 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.

Blatant Advertisment

I don't know how these things are marked, but the article is plain advert (all superlatives and no information). Grch. If anyone knows, please scrap it or fix it or whatever.

Phew!

Now that I've filled the article with facts (or what I hope are facts) and removed the stub notice, could someone come insert references. Otherwise, be patient enuf to wait another two months while I take a break. Do you know you could use http://findarticles.com to look for archaic print issues of EDN or Electronic News? You could also use New York Times archives query. SEMI has an article on Interview with Ed Pausa.

Someone would be kind enuf to place a history of strategic products. I also suggest a history of logo and slogan changes.

To solve the logo ownership/licence problem, use your picture editor to to place a visible translucent "SPECIMEN" diagonally across the logo.

There are location closures which have no documentation. The manufacturing locations in Hong Kong and Bandung are closed. There seems to have been a plant somewhere in South America, which is now closed.

National was also indicted in US Federal govt lawsuits against defence contractors in 1984 during the exemplary $10000 toilet seat public outcry of the Reagan years. Someone could find the documentation and describe it in the article.

Disposed off vs Disposed of

Reverted grammatical changes based on the following reasoning:

The company disposed OFF their unwanted goods. vs The company was disposed OF their unwanted goods.

Fate

Could someone add "Fate" to the Infobox and let people know what happened to the company, i know it's in the article itself but a lot of these companies have a "Fate" parameter in the infobox which i think is useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.30.208.49 (talk) 14:22, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
