The Louisiana map on the first page of the Shreveport article shows the location of Shreveport incorrectly. It is too far south and in the wrong Parish. Suggest your correct this.

message: :Image:Bossier shreveport mudbugs.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 02:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the entry about Sam Cooke is very interesting.  However, I think it is misplaced in this article.  I don't think it should be listed as "Notable Shreveporters".  Correct me if I'm wrong, but Notable Shreveporters to me means that a person was born or lived in Shreveport.  This entry states neither, just a single incident that happen to take place in Shreveport.  Can we find another home for this entry?  And while we're at it, can we find some verifiable citations as well?  Thanks!  Jerry G. Sweeton Jr. 19:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This is one of the worst cases of picture-philia ive ever seen. This article is littered with pictures, it squeezes the text between the pics in some places. I would recommend evaluating the relevance and merits of each of those pictures to improve readability and the overall appearance of this article. Anon134 (talk) 00:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there are way too many pictures in this article.  Many pictures expand below their relevant sections, and interfere with the formatting of the sections below theirs.  After looking over the page quite a bit, I am going to do some cleanup of the pictures and formatting.  Due to the low activity of this talk page, I've decided to go ahead and make the changes, rather than waiting for responses here that may never come.  I will comment out pictures I remove, so that changes can easily be undone, if necessary. Triradiates (talk) 18:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Ok, so I've finished most of the formatting fixes and picture moving/removing.  I also did some editing of picture captions, and revised some grammar and sentence structure where needed.  I think that the page looks cleaner and less cluttered.  Let me know what you all think. =)  Triradiates (talk) 19:49, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Each use of a non-free file is required to have separate specific non-free use rationale per :WP:NFCC#10c. This file has a non-free use rationale for its use in :Shreveport Regional Airport, but it doesn't have one for this article. Trying to combine multiple non-free uses into a single non-free use rationale is almost never going to be not considered a separate specific rationale, particularly when the respective non-free uses are not the same. A non-free logo is typically going to be allowed when it's used for primary identification purposes at the top of or in the main infobox of a stand-alone article about the organization is represents; so, using the logo for identification purposes in the article about the airport make sense. The way you're trying to use it in this article, however, is not the same; basically, you're using it as a :MOS:FLAGICON to simply link to the airport's article. So, there is not only the problem of the file not having a separate specific non-free use rationale, but there are also issue with :WP:NFCC#1 (the link :Shreveport Regional Airport without the image is a perfectly acceptable free equivalent to using a non-free image per :WP:FREER), :WP:NFCC#8 (there's no real reason for the reader to see this file used in this way and no loss in understanding from not seeing it per :WP:NFC#CS) and :MOS:LOGO. Now, if you still truly feel that the way you want to use this file in this article does satisfy all ten non-free content use criteria, then please provide a non-free use rationale specific to this article and this particular use explaining why and then re-add the file to the article. The file's non-free use in this article can then be discussed at :WP:FFD to see if a consensus can be established in favor of it. I'm pretty certain that a valid non-free use rationale cannot be written for this type of use, but others may feel differently. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:32, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
