Beaver Park image

I don't think this is the most flattering image of the park or the gazebo. And looking at the number of images we already have, is this a collage or a wikipedia article? I think it should be deleted.. If we want a public works image up we should delete both it and another image and take a better image of the park. We already have about 3 too many photos.

And why is the image of Broadway randomly placed in the demographics section? Again, this isn't a collage. Cs302b (talk) 14:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Aac logo.gif

This image is not used by the article any longer. It was a duplicate of another image, and it is that image that is now being used. Gam3 (talk) 17:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:Aac logo.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 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.

Class ranking

If editor(s) decide to add maybe 10 more citations at important spots I see no reason why this article isnt a B class. It is well-written, covers many topics in separate sections, a great history section and otherwise meets B criteria.

Untitled section by 71.244.113.5

Dr. John A. Farrell, M.D. was one of 23 tuberculosis doctors who worked in Saranac Lake during the teens and twenties of the 20th century. He died in 1926 from complications of tuberculosis after 15 years of service. He was born in Rensselaer, NY and earned his medical degree from Albany Medical in 1910. In 1913 he married his nurse, Beatrice Vandenburge and together they set up practice in Saranac Lake in their home on Kiwassa Road. The young couple came to Saranac Lake while they were only in their early twenties, to assist those with tuberculosis who were suffering tremendously. Dr. Farrell worked as a school doctor, Franklin County Doctor and a physician at Ray Brook State Hospital. He and his wife took patients into their home and together ran an office on River Street. Often they did not charge for services and were paid commonly with chickens and eggs or nothing at all. He gave his life to save other people and was one of Saranac Lake's historic heros. After contracting tuberculosis from his patients, he died on his anniversary, February 14, 1926 in Monrovia, Ca. at the age of 39. His obituary stated that his lawn was covered with flowers completely and that he was greatly loved by the many freinds he and his wife acquired in the 15 years they lived in town. He was truely an American hero who gave his life to save others.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.113.5 (talk) by Joanne Kathleen Farrell of Rensselaer, NY , 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.22.202 (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2009 (UTC) John Arthur Farrell, MD was the doctor who treated patients like baseball player Germany Shaefer back in the 1920's. He is portrayed as the main charecter in the novel Liberty for the Lion Shield. I would recommend this article to be class A. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.22.202 (talk) 16:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Etymology of Saranac?

I don't see anything about the origin of the name Saranac in this article. What language, when named, what people named it, what meaning? See Saranac River#Origin of Name. David Spector (talk) 14:18, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
