Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
The quotations in the Hurricane Katrina section of this article seem to be superfluous and poorly formatted for the article. I wondered how people would feel about editing them a bit to cut unnecessary parts out. They seem to be a bit unencyclopedic. – Mipadi 17:41, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Conspicuous Lack of Citations
I'll try to get back to flesh out some of the stuff I added with citations but nothing much was cited before I got here. And there was an awful lot of anti-Broussard and pro-Gretna police POV. I'm not pro-Broussard or anti-Gretna police but please try to stick to the facts without slant. The lawsuits against Gretna and Broussard will eventually bring out all the gory details and hopefully the "right" sides can then be announced by reporting those civil judgments.
Also, you think the Gretna stuff even belongs here since Gretna's got an entry of its own? --Economy1 23:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Effected/Affected
Should be "affected" in third sentence. 198.185.18.207 17:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jefferson Parish, Louisiana seal.png
Image:Jefferson Parish, Louisiana 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 Wikipedia: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 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.
