Talk:Cranston, Rhode Island

Fair use rationale for Image:City of Cranston RI Seal.jpg
Image:City of Cranston RI Seal.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 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 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 19:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Name change
Why was it done? Шизомби (talk) 22:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

And, where does the name Cranston come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.238.30.210 (talk) 20:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Lists
The lists in the article of areas and of schools represent both a failure of the Manual of Style on list incorporation, and an inappropriate level of detail. Please consider how much of this is encyclopaedically noteworthy, and then examine alternate ways of presenting this information, ideally through prose which explains the notability of the individual entries. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:29, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Newspaper archive
Of possible interest to watchers of this page. I just came across this announcement of a digital archive of old newspapers released through the city's public library: link. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 03:43, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Budlong Pool
"Cranston is home to the Budlong Pool, one of the largest outdoor swimming pools in the country."

Is there a source on this? Seems like a large assumption. Not sure where this comes from. SkippyKR (talk) 21:44, 28 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, a Google search shows that there are multiple news outlets that have reported on this, for example: and several more - it's also mentioned directly on the city's website. - Perhaps either source could be used in the article. 174.67.105.2 (talk) 14:55, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
