Fair use rationale for Image:NS logo.jpg

Image:NS logo.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Comments

I have resolved some grammar issues.
- Avoid sentences ending with preposition (Ending a sentence with a preposition. Also thanks User:Tamzin for this info- "to which ..." is the fancy way popularized by the Romantics and which was taught as the only correct way until recently. "... to" is the way that was historically correct and has in the past ~20 years become accepted again in some (but not all) academic circles.)
Move the platform image to station details. I feel, it will suit more there.
Add author name in sources. Like citation [15]
Year of name change not mentioned in body. Also the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Link the first Marina MRT, Circle line in history.
Add citations for parking and disable access.
