Break Time
[edit]I missed your ping about User:BoringJim/Break Time (edit), sorry about that. A merge is fine as an outcome for me, but kudos: you found more coverage than I expected. However, there's nothing outside trade press (which is often placed) and local press (often routine coverage). I suggest you make use of this work by merging it into MFA Oil after thinning it down to the best sources and the most pertinent information (you also mentioned copyright in this edit summary, but I'm not sure what that refers to). Then please take that welcome enthusiasm to fill out details on the parent company, which some of the sources you found will help with. Fences&Windows 21:10, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Replaceable fair use File:Old Baskin-Robbins Logo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Old Baskin-Robbins Logo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 185.172.241.184 (talk) 15:49, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
