message: Why are people constantly adding themselves to the list of notable natives of Amherst? Is it all just vandalism? Also, someone keeps adding Christian Cardell Corbet to the list. This person, who may be an artist (I'm just going with what's on their page), constantly ends up with their name posted in the list. By reading their article, however, it looks like he was not only born elsewhere, but he grew up somewhere other than Amherst. The only connection that I can read on either his Wikipedia page or his website is that he created paintings of Robert B. Dickey and Charles Tupper, both of whom are Fathers of Confederation and connected to Amherst. What gives? Pbfurlong 11:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:NS-Flag.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.

message: Should the Amherst Mural Project be mentioned in the article, or does it constitute a new article?  Or a bit of information on it and then go on it in detail in a new article? --Ampersand2006 talk 14:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Amherst Mural Project 

message: Right at the moment I'm in Truro, Nova Scotia and I'll be heading back home to Amherst this Friday, so I was just thinking that I could possibly get some photos from around the town and release them under a CC license. 
That said, what landmarks or buildings would be fine for the article?  
So far, I'm thinking about retaking the First Baptist Church photo, since it seems to be a little too bright and my camera can take sharper and more clear images.  Also, I was thinking of the new façade of the Amherst Stadium, and the train station. Any thing else that I should look into? My flickr page is at http://flickr.com/photos/markseymour/ for those who are interested (I do not have a pro account, so I am unable to upload until May.)

replies: text: I've uploaded a photo of the First Baptist Church and edited the article to include it.  I will process the RAW that I took along with it, and then replace it later, hopefully the photo won't look as dull. azure talk × contribs 22:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photos for the article 

message: I have made some changes to the article.
# The 'skyline' image and description has been changed from the Nova Scotia Information/Welcome Centre to a photo of Downtown Amherst. I may try to get a better photo before I go back to Truro next week.
# I uploaded a cleaner version of the town's Crest/logo as a low-res jpg. I may attempt to convert it to SVG with the larger version that I have (gotten from the town for a web project.)
If anyone feels that the article should use the Welcome Centre At Dusk photo for the top of the article, please feel free to revert it. :)
