Fair use rationale for Image:Pge park logo2.gif

Image:Pge park logo2.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 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.

Jeld-Wen Field → JELD-WEN Field — JELD-WEN is an acronym and the stadium is known as JELD-WEN Field. According to the Portland Timbers, "All references to the Timbers' home stadium now should be JELD-WEN Field." (http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news/2011/03/timbers-jeld-wen-announce-exclusive-naming-rights-partnership-jeld-wen-field). Seenorimagined (talk) 03:23, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you think this should be taken up at the Jeld-Wen article first? If the company's main article isn't capitalized that way then this stadium's article surely shouldn't be. DemonJuice (talk) 03:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I requested for it to be changed as well. I realized I jumped the gun by changing this article text first though. Seenorimagined (talk) 03:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, Wikipedia's naming standards prescribe common usage, not proclamations from the company. At a glance, nobody is using JELD-WEN, it appears most are using Jeld-Wen, and some are using the unhyphenated Jeld Wen. tedder (talk) 04:15, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like the Lego situation. What is this Jeld-Wen an acronym of? OK, here it is:[1] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:34, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) The company talk page move request says "Jeanette Coughlin thought of the name JELD-WEN, an acronym for the names of Dick's [JELD-WEN's founder's] immediate family, and a shortened version of Wendt [his last name]". I guess that was better than Dick-Jean. tedder (talk) 05:24, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
