Fair use rationale for Image:Alinta-logo-small.png

[edit]

Image:Alinta-logo-small.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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.BetacommandBot 18:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let the fine people at Wiki know - Alinta is not merely a gas corporation, it is also a word derived from a northern Australian aboriginal dialect which means 'Fire' and 'Flame'. It has been used as a female name and due to what it symbolises, it has been used by other companies such as a tennis and squash company (also of Australian origin - www.alinta.com.au). It has been (and fairly cheaply as well as possibly wrongly) used as the name of a tribe on the North American television programme Survivor (in Fiji). 131.217.6.9 04:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how to fix a couple of problems

[edit]

At the bottom it lists this as a Tasmanian company, but it's West Australian (as the rest of the page says). Also the John Akehurst, the manager/CEO, links to a different John Akehurst (unless this energy retailer CEO also does fashion photography) kestasjk (talk) 15:05, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update

[edit]

This articles needs update about its current status and structure. Is it still operation, do it have any legal successor or is it defunct? The article says that "the ownership is being restructured, which will be voted on in March 2011". What is the outcome of this? I understand that in March 2011 Alinta Energy was crated, but is it successor of Alinta or not? If yes, maybe we should merge these articles? There is also information that in 2011, Alinta Energy Limited changed its name to Redbank Energy Limited [1]. Is it the same company or a different company? Could anyone to clarify these issues and update the article(s) accordingly. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 09:07, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redbank Energy seems to be the old Babcock and Brown energy holding company. It seems that it was renamed "Alinta Energy Limited" in December 2009, and renamed again to "Redbank Energy Limited" in March 2011. Redbank is a listed company, so it's almost certainly notable, and thus probably worth a separate article, if anyone's interested.
However, that "Alinta Energy" is almost certainly not the Alinta Energy the article is about. There are a number of different companies that are named "Alinta Energy" or similar, so it's not clear which one the Alinta Energy article is about. Given that the Alinta Energy article gives alintaenergy.com.au as its website, and the website seems to be about retailing energy, my suspicion is that it's this one.
At any rate, it's a subsidiary of the Alinta group (a diagram of Alinta's corporate structure would be really useful right now) and probably doesn't need a separate article. Miracle Pen (talk) 11:58, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
TPG Capital purchased the Alinta assets from Babcock & Brown in 2011 via a deleveraging transaction. Analogboy 02:40, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
But does Alinta still exist? Beagel (talk) 04:28, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Alinta" these days seems to be little more than the WA gas retailing business. The non-WA Alinta assets are Jemena or Redbank, and the non-retail WA Alinta operations are owned by ATCO (which bought WA Gas Networks from Westnet Energy last year). I assume Singapore Power still owns this rump retail Alinta. Miracle Pen (talk) 10:47, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
something odd here - what about westnet - they owned part of the operations before atco - there really needs to be a timeline or diagram - as there is more to it than what has been discussed above so far SatuSuro 11:11, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My understanding is that Westnet Infrastructure Group (not Westnet Energy, having re-read the ATCO link; Westnet Energy is another Westnet subsidiary) owned WA Gas Networks, and they sold it to ATCO last year. Miracle Pen (talk) 11:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
