Fair use rationale for Image:Surprise city logo-2.JPG[edit]

Image:Surprise city logo-2.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.

Unnecessary Drag racing section[edit]

In order to get this to a possible C-class article please remove this section (I'm afraid because that edit will be considered section blanking. UsefulWikipedia (talk) 20:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I second the removal of Drag Racing -- Golf isn't even on the page and drag racing is?

white tank note[edit]

I have removed the "or bike" section on the white tank waterfall note. The waterfall trail is not one of the multi-use trails, and is restricted to hiking only.

Removed text about Prasada mall[edit]

The following text was removed:

In February 2007, the Surprise City Council unanimously approved an infrastructure reimbursement agreement with Westcor, facilitating construction of the largest regional mall in Arizona, Prasada. The agreement calls for Westcor to bear the cost of construction and installation of up to $240 million in infrastructure at the Prasada site, along SR303 in Surprise. The city will assume ownership of the infrastructure and reimburse Westcor for the cost by rebating sales taxes generated by Prasada itself. At full build out, the city expects to realize $60 million per year in sales taxes and projects that Prasada will create more than 20,000 jobs for local residents.^[1]^[2]

As of 2016, this mall still had not been built, see [1]. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
