With respect to Lake Murray (South Carolina), yes, that is the naming convention for geographical features. Using a comma implies a place name, like Lake City, Tennessee. Although, I see on the Lake Murray disambiguation page that the other lakes are misnamed, too. — Fingers-of-Pyrex 12:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

South Carolina

Fantastic to hear from you! I've seen little interest in any collaborative efforts with South Carolina pages except one other user whom I recently met, and have been unable to get down to business per se, both because of work in real life and my desire to complete a couple of pages I'd started and had practically finished on paper, but needed to be realized in cyberland. I am quite aware of the need to expand several South Carolina-related articles, particularly for our Congressional delegation. What I would like to see is the three of us actually take over the blank shell that is Wikipedia:WikiProject South Carolina and actually formulate a plan of action. The page hasn't been seriously edited, save for my tiny contribution, in months. Want to help plan this and then set out to tackle articles? Cheers! Chuchunezumi 03:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Gadsen Flag

Hi, Thanks for requesting an assessment of Gadsen Flag at WP:HV. I've classified it as B-class for the moment (I debated for a while between Start and B). Is the page given as the External Link the source for the article? The Manual of Style prefers the heading 'References' for sources which have been used in the article, and 'External Links' or 'Further Reading' for links to websites related to the topic that might be of interest to the reader, but which have not been used as sources for the article. --Dr pda 10:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Red Dawn - Most violent film

Hello Greygh0st, I don't think the item is online, but it's definitely noted as such in the Guinness Book of World Records 1987 version.

Some movies released since then may have outdone it (e.g. Rambo III), but at its time, it was considered the most violent film yet released (by Guinness and the National Coalition on Television Violence anyway, in terms of number killings directly depicted on screen).

However, technically, many other earlier films could could be considered more violent and containing more killings. At least "implied" killings. (e.g. From Here to Eternity, considering how many people were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor or other war movies showing bombings of populated cites)

I would concur that it's questionable to declare Red Dawn as the most violent film, even up until its time; however, that such a claim appeared in the Guinness Book of Records is indeed true.

-GillWill

P.S.

I added the citation for the National Coalition on Television Violence.

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 03:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:New_saluda_dam.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:New_saluda_dam.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 04:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The hunters movie.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The hunters movie.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 22:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Brenda Council.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Brenda Council.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 09:02, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
