Fair use rationale for Image:Raven logo.jpg[edit]

Image:Raven logo.jpg 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.

Height[edit]

It seems there are two different values being used for height: 80 ft (per RCDB) and 110 ft (per Holiday World). I figured out that the discrepancies are due to the way the height is measured. Holiday World (and most other parks looking to pad stats for that matter) measure from the highest to the lowest point on the ride. Roller Coaster Database uses the highest point on the ride (the top of the drop in The Raven's case) and measures from that point to the ground. The drop can be 85 feet due to the terrain near the end of the drop being lower than that at which point the height was measured. I decided to revert my edit and use the 80 ft figure RCDB provides, as 1) it seems to be accurate (though calculated differently than the park's figure) and 2) it seems that most other roller coasters have set the precedence of RCDB's figure.

Generally RCDB is considered the primary reliable source for roller coaster statistics. There have been occurrences (such as this) where the information on RCDB is different to that provided by the park or the manufacturer themselves. In this case, I think following RCDB is the best thing to do based upon your reasoning above. Themeparkgc Talk 05:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
