Wikipedia claims the right to use our logo under "fair use".
They claim that it is "low resolution", while the resolution is the same as here on the page. They also claim that "The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image." As they use the logo in their article that is written with a conflict of interest and criticises us (or at least did in the past), it is used to misrepresent us. On it goes, [...]assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization[...] Do you think it is time to open a file deletion debate over the obvious copyright infringement of our logo? |

1. It's not really copyrightable as the threshold of originality hasn't been reached.
2. What's the point in deleting it, the logo only serves its purpose if it's being seen. 3. All the time it's on WP then it's sure to irritate the fuck out of someone. Score! QUOTE(Selina @ Fri 30th March 2012, 5:39pm)  Other people said before they were quite fond of the logo I remember though, hmm. Suggestions could be good tho! TBH I feel like shite at the mo' so I'll leave it a couple of days. I won't have any expectation of it being used, it's just something for my own curiosity. |

WP infringe our copyright by hosting it on their page and claiming to use it in "a critical article" (see OP). Thats an obvious misrepresentation. |

Jesus, what in the name of the special olympics are you talking about? It is not some kind of "score" or "point" in the Wikipedia's favor to have WR's logo there. If anything, it benefits this site to have its article better illustrated. There was a time when many Wikipedians fought to have that article deleted so they wouldn't have to give a critic website any publicity at all. Who the fuck is this clown anyways? I have no faith in some anonymous person whose 2nd edit ever was to note he is a "Wiki investigator and watchdog, also active at Wikipedia Review" who had a whopping 14 edits by that time here.
