message: :Image:Johnlainglogo.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.

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Hi there, I work for John Laing in Communications and there are some factual errors to the fact box on the right hand side that I think it would be helpful to correct. Please advise me as the best way of going about this.
1. The logo is out of date. The new logo can be seen on laing.com and I am happy to provide it as an attachment
2. The list of executives is no longer correct. John Laing does not have a Chairman and its CEO is Andrew Truscott. https://www.laing.com/insights/john-laing-appoints-andrew-truscott-as-new-ceo/
In a further change, the company no longer distinguishes between Primary and Secondary Investments as stated in the Operations section, but only between Investment and Asset Management. 
Any help or advice you could give me in making these changes would by highly appreciated - thanks in advance for any advice.

text: Hi, are you able to delete the reference to Will Samuel as Chairman? As a private company John Laing no longer has a Chairman. Please can you also replace Olivier Brousse as CEO with Andrew Truscott, who is now CEO?  https://www.laing.com/insights/john-laing-appoints-andrew-truscott-as-new-ceo/. Separately, are you able to upload the logo on my behalf? My account is not confirmed as 10 edits are needed and I have opened the account purely to correct factual errors on the John Laing page, which I would not edit directly?
