Fair use rationale for Image:GKNplc.png

Image:GKNplc.jpeg 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. 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 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 10:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Suggest adding Ambrose Shardlow connection

The "history" section of the article does not mention that GKN took over Ambrose Shardlow & Co in 1963. Source info for this is https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Ambrose_Shardlow_and_Co "1963 Taken over by GKN."

I checked up on this because my grandfather had worked for Shardlow's before the takeover, the company was often referred to as GKN Shardlow in the family. Keith in France (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Insorgiamo - Collettivo di Fabbrica GKN

I've added a section discussing the Insorgiamo movement. The 9th of july, 2021, in Firenze, GKN closed a plant with 422 workers without previous notification. The trade unions mobilize4d the workers the same day, and they managed to enter the factory and take control over it.

I believe that this is important to this article Gollummm (talk) 21:12, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I have have remove some of the detail about the crowd funding which sounded a bit SOAPBOX and have moved the section up the page to the main text. Dormskirk (talk) 21:50, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
