Fair use rationale for Image:Toro Logo.png

Image:Toro Logo.png 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.

Article is disjointed, few references... Could use some work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yogenstein (talk • contribs) 16:19, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Update to Overview Section

I would like to propose an update to the current overview of The Toro Company to better reflect its current operations and global presence. Below, I have outlined the current overview, the proposed new overview with tracked changes, and the rationale for the changes.

Current Overview: “The Toro Company is an American company based in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota that designs, manufactures, and markets lawn mowers, snow blowers, and irrigation system supplies for commercial and residential, agricultural, and public sector uses.”

Proposed overview: "The Toro Company is an American company based in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota that designs, manufactures, and markets solutions for the outdoor environments including turf and landscape maintenance, snow and ice management, underground utility construction, rental and specialty construction, and irrigation and outdoor lighting. The Toro Company’s brand portfolio includes Toro, Ditch Witch, Exmark, BOSS, Ventrac, American Augers, Trencor, Subsite, HammerHead, Radius, Perrot, Hayter, Unique Lighting Systems, Irritrol, and Lawn-Boy. The company and its brands helps customers work on golf courses, sports fields, construction sites, public green spaces, commercial and residential properties and agricultural operations."

This information is sourced from: The Toro Company Company Profile | Bloomington, MN | Competitors, Financials & Contacts - Dun & Bradstreet

The Toro Company 10-K

Rationale: The current overview is outdated and does not accurately reflect the full range of products and services offered by The Toro Company. The proposed update includes all major business areas, such as underground utility construction and outdoor lighting solutions, which are significant parts of the company’s operations. Listing the family of brands under The Toro Company provides a clearer picture of its market diversity and the breadth of its product offerings. This helps readers understand the company’s extensive portfolio and its impact across various sectors. The proposed changes are supported by reliable third-party sources, ensuring that the information is verifiable and meets Wikipedia's standards for notability and neutrality.
