 * Seeing as it happened in Georgia I would think so, Chriags. Any thoughts from anyone else?Reb (talk) 23:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Music of Athens, Georgia
The article is going under FAR here because I believe it no longer meets the criteria. Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 03:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject GeorgiaUS
I posted this on the talk page at Template:WikiProject GeorgiaUS, but since I haven't gotten any response to that I thought I would also post here. There were some bugs in the class flag that caused category, list, etc. to show up incorrectly in Category:Unknown-importance Georgia (U.S. state) articles. I have fixed that issue and tested my fix out (see the template talk page for the link to test page if interested). It appears to work, but I wanted to give folks notice before I update it so they aren't caught unaware. If anyone has an issue with me replacing with my updated version, please let me know on the template talk page, otherwise, I will probably overwrite it with the updated version later this week.--Roswell native (talk) 05:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Andersonville National Historic Site
Please look at new material added to Andersonville National Historic Site under "deadening" and see if it is appropriate. I've deleted it once, but it is back. The same stuff was in Deadening, but PRODEDed and deleted. Now the same thing is in Deadener, which I PRODed. Bubba73 (talk), 03:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The newly added material has been deleted by someone else. Bubba73 (talk), 21:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Georgia Lakes - Lake Blackshear
The picture accompanying this article is of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River on the Nevada/Arizona border and has nothing at all to do with Georgia Lakes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.235.245.185 (talk) 03:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Georgia (U.S. state)
I revised Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Georgia (U.S. state) to include county subcategories to make it easier for Wikipedian photographers in Georgia to locate articles about subjects near where they live. User:Roswell native revised Template:WikiProject GeorgiaUS so that photo location(s) can be specified. Many of the 1,100 images at Category:Georgia (U.S. state) articles needing images need to have photo request county locations specified. GregManninLB (talk) 20:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest
The article says that it has five ranger districts and five of the six districts I found say the same thing. There are, Armuchee-Cohutta Ranger District, Brasstown Ranger District, Chattooga Ranger District, Oconee Ranger District, Tallulah Ranger District and Toccoa Ranger District. Brasstown is the one that is not listed in the parent article. Would sombody like to sort it out. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 09:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Newsletter
Any thoughts on doing a newsletter for this project? - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 18:19, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Lakewood Speedway
A new contributor started an article on Lakewood Speedway on April 28. I saw great potential, so I greatly expanded the article and nominated it for DYK. Do you have an additional sources to expand it farther, especially a source to verify that it was used in the AWESOME movie Smokey and the Bandit? It would love to see the DYK hook changed to a fact about the movie. The should run on DYK in about 2 days.  Royal broil  14:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Georgia Barnstar
I was bored the other night, and I created a Georgia Barnstar for y'all. Tell me what you think; I already rewarded it to someone.

-- Bedford Pray  11:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

It looks great to me, Bedford. Thanks for doing this and thanks for the barnstar. Reb (talk) 14:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Help request: Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hello, I would like to request some help with this article, which is under the scope of this project. I fully sourced it over the past week, and I would like to help it get to GA or FA status. It would be great if any editors from this project could look it over, possibly do some copyediting, and give some feedback in the peer review. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 23:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Heads up,
I've nominated December to Dismember (2006) (an FA of your project) for FAR, here. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 10:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Articles flagged for cleanup
Currently, 784 of the articles assigned to this project, or 17.3%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 2008-06-18.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. Subsribing is easy - just add a template to your project page.

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
 * The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
 * The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
 * A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

FYI: New Template
I recently had a little time and created a new template to standardize references for the New Georgia Encyclopedia. Please see Template:New Georgia Encyclopedia for usage. Hope this can be of help. -- Absolon S. Kent (talk) 14:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Great secret of eclipses of a heavenly body and the moon have solved.
Great secret of eclipses of a heavenly body and the moon have solved.

Many centuries the mankind is surprised and quavering is afraid of eclipses of the moon and the sun. Only in the twenty first century the veil of secret of eclipses, their influence on the ground, the nature, the person was slightly opened. It is logically clear, that such phenomena as an eclipse the sun or an eclipse of the moon negatively influence all surrounding space, irrespective of range in space and in time, including according to the theory mikrolepton communications and torsion fields. On informal sources a number of the visible scientific leading countries of the world was studied with an origin and probable consequences of present, August both eclipses our heavenly ph. As mark scientists, eclipses certainly differed from all previous. These eclipses bear double tremendous, mystical force, character of global scope. Scientists have decided to find out influences of eclipses on the ground, having lead computer modeling of a situation in time and space of the octal hologram of real time in view of photosphere the correlation amendment. The conclusion became unfavourable. Simultaneously three scientists independently from each other have defined the weakest territory of the ground not protected from cataclysm. As it is not strange, such place has appeared Northern America. Though it probably to explain to by what from there are spent pernicious for the nature nanotechnology experiences. Thus the computer program has revealed an opportunity of cataclysm which can occur in terms: from October, 10 till October, 20th or with 15 on 25 December 2008. In Northern America there can be tremors, earthquake force up to nine points under the Richter scale. It is necessary to have in view of what it only forecasts. Let's look, the life will show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.79.178.194 (talk) 06:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Georgia (U.S. state)
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Craig Stevens AGAIN?
I see Craig Stevens continues to be everywhere on Wikipedia despite his non-notability. Please, people, you've deleted legitimately published authors and yet you continue to list this guy?
 * Issues with his notability can be address on his page. I don't think this is the place to address your issues with Stevens or SCAD -- Absolon S. Kent (talk) 22:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Granite
I saw the citation after the sentence about this city being the largest producer of granite; so I figured I'd comment on it. The truth is it isn't the largest; Barre, Vermont is. Infact Barre is also known as the granite capital of the world; how do I know because I researched it and I lived in Barre for the last 19 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.169.165 (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Georgia articles needing geographic coordinates
 articles in Category:Georgia (U.S. state) articles missing geocoordinate data do not have geographic coordinates. Coords are useful for making the article appear on Google Maps & many other mapping services; and they allow our users to click through to see the article subject location on a map. There's a short guide to on how to add geocodes to articles ... it really is very easy to do. I hope you'll take some time to ensure that Georgia is as well represented as it can be on wikipedia by fixing up the listed articles. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Courthouse Photos
I propose that photos of all Georgia county courthouses be added to their respective article, and possibly the corresponding county seat article. This would serve to beautify the article and serve as a visual representation of the county. Help is needed adding them to their respective county pages by adding the following to the County Infobox template


 * ex image     =   courthouse image filename.jpg


 * ex image cap =   xxx County Courthouse in xxxx, Georgia

The following counties do not have courthouse photos. Contributors may want to cross them off once a photo is taken and uploaded. --Ichabod (talk) 02:02, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * dude that would take so long to get done..and seriously i dont think it really maters THAT much to have a photo..i mean yeah it would be nice but a really big undertaking to try and achieve.--EmperorofBlackPeopleEverywhere (talk) 02:29, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's a worthy project. Yes, it will be hard, but that's no reason not to do it. I'll see if I can help with some of these pictures at some point. If you don't think it's a good use of time, then don't participate. Qqqqqq (talk) 18:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * not saying i won't..just a daunting task..still gonna put effort into it--EmperorofBlackPeopleEverywhere (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I just took photos of Wilcox (a better one) and Echols' courthouses that I'll upload, but I also took a photo of a courthouse in between these two, but the building doesn't identify the county, and I can't recall which county it was. Any ideas on how I might be able to identify this one? Qqqqqq (talk) 05:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I recently added a photo of Evans County's courthouse to the Evans County page, so I struck it out. As for your question, Qqqqqq, you could possibly find out by calling the courthouses in Wilcox or Echols. Reb (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
