[edit] Merge Infobox City NH with Infobox City?

Please see the discussion here. harpchad 15:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It is possibly a bad idea as this article is all that Berlin has. Trust me. I live here and there isn't much left. Chances are next census the population will go below the city mark. Ever since the mill left nobody is left so I think this page should be left for it's "historical" importance.69.24.5.21 (talk) 13:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Grand Trunk link

I've removed a link that was added to the "Grand Trunk in New England" for a couple reasons:

  1. The page linked to is from Wikipedia
  2. The page linked to asks for donations
  3. I didn't see anything on the GT page that referenced Berlin

If anyone objects, please let me know. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 00:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I do not know anything about the references for the page however I do not see anything wrong with the page being linked to having a donations link on it. Wikipedia has the same thing and no one has ever complained about it to the best of my knowledge.

[edit] Inventions in Berlin

So I am pretty sure that there were a few notable things that happened in Berlin, but I can't find any references:

  • Brown Paper Towels were invented in Berlin, by The Brown Company
  • PVC Piping was invented in Berlin
  • Crisco was invented in Berlin, but patented by another company.

Can anyone verify or find references to these? -Dan Leveille 23:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Dan. The only mention I find of the invention of Crisco in Berlin is an interview with a 10 year old boy. While it's NHPR, it's a ten year-old, so I'm not sure that counts as a good reference :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 23:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:BerlinNHseal.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 01:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved images and added to requested images category

I've moved the 1912 postcard main street picture to the gallery and replaced it with the 2006 city hall picture. I've added the pxplsthx template to the talk page not because this article needs more pictures but because it needs a modern picture of downtown or the skyline. —M (talk • contribs) 02:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beyond Brown Paper archive

I added a link to Beyond Brown Paper, an archive of photos from the Brown Company of Berlin, NH. The archives include approx. 15,000 items covering 1885 through 1965. (Disclaimer: I'm involved with the project.) It's a project of Plymouth State University, sponsored by the NH State Council on the Arts, and is based on the collection of photos given to the university in the 1980s. We're scanning the photos as fast as we can and posting daily. One of the most important features of the project is the comments people are contributing that help describe the photos, explain the times, and name the people we see in them.

That sounds like a great project! I'm wondering, though, if the link belongs on this article? After all, while there are probably many photos of Berlin, the focus of the collection is on The Brown Paper Company. Maybe the company needs an article? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
