License tagging for Image:Mayfest parade.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Mayfest parade.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 04:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

War Eagle Mill
If this is really your first article, it is very very good. I'd rate it a C now, but with a very little work it could very well be a B. Can you get more pictures? It also sounds a bit commercial. Please tone down anything that sounds like an advertisement. Maybe check out WikiProject Mills for advice. They may also rate it if you ask. I'll do a bit of editing over the weekend, so I'll disqualify myself from rating. And feel free to ask here, or on my user page, any questions that you have.

OK, but...
At this point I have to remind myself about the policy WP:DONTBITE. A lot of editors would say that you've got a problem with copyright violations from that Mystery website. It should be pretty easy to clean these up. Just put ALL of this in your own words. If they were your own words, you are encouraged (but not required) to declare a WP:COI on the talk page. And then I'd restate everything anyway. I don't see any problem with you trying to pull the wool over anybody's eyes, since the words were referenced.

I'd get photos of the old house, the bridge, maybe of the fair. I'd stress the fair, maybe the location of the nearby state park, and the cultural aspects of the site. Can you get a copy of the bridges NRHP nomination (for Pennsylvania sites this is on line, but I don't know about AR. The www.NRHPfocus.gov site usually stinks)?

Keep up the good work, and accept the inevitablity of mistakes. People are pretty picky around here!. Smallbones (talk) 17:17, 28 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think I'd combine the article with one on the bridge. The bridge has a slightly better claim to notability in Wikipedia because it is on the NRHP, but I don't think there's enough for 2 articles. Smallbones (talk) 21:53, 28 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I've redirected the Mill article to War Eagle Bridge. Let me know what you think.  Smallbones (talk) 17:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - maybe I did get a bit carried away, but I think the article as it now is pretty good. But there always room for more. Probably the fair is the most obviously missing piece - can you get good info on it? Does the fair association have a website? Articles in the local newspapers? Featuring the mill a bit more would be easier if there was more neutral info. Are there any books in the local library or historical association on the mill? Oftentimes there's an old County History from the 1890's, old postcards (scan BOTH sides), .... Even the smallest bit helps. Smallbones (talk) 03:20, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
