Major issue with grammar

[edit]

"Although Dominator contains the world's largest vertical loop, that loop is not the tallest roller coaster inversion in the world or even the tallest inversion on any of Kings Dominion's roller coasters."

This sentence is located in the first paragraph. This sentence also does not make sense. Could someone who knows about the Dominator's records please rewrite/reword this sentence so that it makes sense? I propose the following in the mean time:

"Although Dominator contains the world's largest vertical loop in diameter, the aforementioned loop is not the tallest roller coaster inversion in the world, as defined as track which suspends riders upside down, and is measured in distance from the inversion to the ground. The loop is also not even the tallest roller coaster loop in Kings Dominion."

Please, if you have any revisions, or you support this proposed sentence, please post below. GREATLY APPRECIATED! WingedYoshi - Talk to me! 01:06, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:BatmanKFlogo.gif

[edit]

Image:BatmanKFlogo.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.
