Possible plagiarism?

[edit]

  The following text, in this article, appears to have been copied almost word-for-word from http://www.coxmodels.com/Aboutus.asp with only slight changes to the wording:

When metals became readily available in the United States in 1947, Cox turned his attention to new products, beginning with a diecast metal car. This product was developed into a "whip car", a tethered vehicle which could be manually swung in a circle at high speed. Nitro- and gasoline-powered tether cars with .60 cubic inch miniature engines capable of speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) were quickly becoming popular. Cox's first contribution to that growing hobby was a cast aluminum midget racer powered by a .15 engine by Cameron Brothers.

Fair use rationale for Image:Cox model and engine advertisement.jpg

[edit]

Image:Cox model and engine advertisement.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.

I may not know enough law to satisfy this requirement. Perhaps someone who knows more law and who is interested in Cox history might supply the missing argument. In this case, I can re-post the image. David R. Ingham (talk) 07:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect engine Name

[edit]

The engine described as a Babe Bee is actually a Golden Bee, the gold extended stunt tank is a sure indicator. I can't figure out how to edit the focacta caption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.88.70 (talk) 06:11, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
