Fair use rationale for Image:New Hampshire state seal.png
Image:New Hampshire state seal.png 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 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 21:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

County templates
A request for all of you New Hampshire people from someone who knows little about the state... Most states throughout the country, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, have small navboxes comparable to New Hampshire on the county level, listing all the communities in the county, including villages and townships. Check out the categories for Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont if my explanation doesn't make sense. Now: what do you project members think of having such templates for New Hampshire? Would you like me or someone else to begin creating these templates, or would it be preferable to skip it? Nyttend (talk) 14:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a decent enough idea. I don't know enough about how to do this kind of thing myself, but if you want to do it, go right ahead. Cooljeanius (talk) (contribs) 23:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If this would be a good idea, what would you think about cutting down the state template? Rhode Island is the only other New England state to list every town, and if we had county-level templates, having all the towns on the template might be unnecessary.  Nyttend (talk) 00:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If we had nav boxes for every county, we wouldn't need the ones we have now (which really are just an large organized mess of blue links). I didn't look over every state but since you mentioned New England states, I noticed another WikiProject I'm part of also needs this done. Currently they don't have any nav boxes at the bottom of their town articles. Mr mark taylor (talk) 01:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, just seven states nationwide need them: about half of Tennessee counties, two-thirds of Michigan counties, most counties in Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Virginia, and all counties in Maine and Montana. If you people decide that you'd prefer the county boxes, I'll be willing to do them, but they'll have to wait until other states are done, since the state template does link most of them.  Of course, if it's decided that they would be good, someone else could make them :-)  Nyttend (talk) 03:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

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. 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!

 * 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.

Articles flagged for cleanup
Currently, 1286 articles are assigned to this project, of which 116, or 9.0%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 2008-07-14.) 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. More than 150 projects and work groups have already subscribed, and adding a subscription for yours is easy - just place the following template on your project page:

If you want to respond to this canned message, please do so at my user talk page; I'm not watching this page. --B. Wolterding (talk) 18:01, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for WikiProject New Hampshire
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!

New Hampshire articles needing geographic coordinates
 articles in Category:New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire is as well represented as it can be on wikipedia by fixing up the listed articles. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
