[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:VillaRicaSeal.jpg

Image:VillaRicaSeal.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 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.

[edit] City Seal

I've returned the City Seal to the page. It was removed by some bots because of the inadequacy of my fair use explanation. Hopefully I've done a better job of documenting it this time. Optimistmb (talk) 19:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing Undocumented Historic Sites

• Mclendon Meadows
• Hickory Point
• Cedars Glen
• Whitney Heights
• The Reserve @ Reid Plantation
• Berkley Park
• Townsend Village
• Harlan Heights

This message is a note to any concerned with my removal of the above list from the Villa Rica article. The list appears under Historic Sites and is quoted verbatim. No reasons or background documentation were given for the inclusion of these "historic sites." I believe they are all subdivions in the Villa Rica area. While subdivisions are part of the history of the community, they are not significant simply by their existance. Anyone wishing to see these locations included in the article would best serve the article by including appropriate reasons and background historical information. It is worth noting that The Reserve is a grand old building that was restored and serves as the welcome center for the Reid Plantation subdivision and would likely make a reasonable entry with proper support.

[edit] Bodies of water in Villa Rica

According to the infobox, Villa Rica has around 0.2 sq miles of water. This would around 128 acres. Mirror Lake is itself a 210 acre lake and there are several other lakes along with numerous streams which are partially or completely contained within the boundaries of Villa Rica. Off the top of my head, I would guess the figure should be at least 0.5 sq miles or more. I will see what I can do to figure out an accurate number. Other recomendations along these lines are appreciated. Optimistmb (talk) 21:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Parameters On Addressed Problems

I removed the imageneeded=yes parameter and the unref=yes parameter from the WikiProject GeorgiaUS banner shell. As of this date, the main article has six images and seventeen references. Optimistmb (talk) 02:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
