[edit] How to Edit

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject Cities standards might help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ram-Man (talk • contribs) 23:36, 14 October 2002 (UTC)

[edit] Schools

This information came from a sub-stub that is now redireced here:

Battlefeild Middle School is a middle school in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The principal is Patty Smith. The Vice principal is Mr. Carlson.
http://www.spotsylvania.k12.va.us/bms/

Any thoughts on how to sensibly incorporate it?

Thank you for catching this one Aaron, the stub was horribly inaccurate. i.e. misspelled school name and title, incorrect principal name, et cetera. Your redirect has been reverted and the article has been significantly expanded with additional information which may be of interest to a potential reader. Silensor 07:14, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing this out Aaron, I missed it first time round. David D. (Talk) 05:36, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notable People

I think that more notable people should be included, like George Coghill, a two-time Super Bowl Champion, and George and Martha Washington. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.174.39.183 (talk) 15:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sister City

It was in the local paper here last week and the city was spelled Princes Town. It might have been a flub by the paper.

[edit] Articles for Fredericksburg media?

Are any Fredericksburg editors interested in creating articles for The Free Lance–Star and/or Fredericksburg radio stations? Lots of smaller newspapers and radio stations have their own articles. I'd start them myself, but I've got connections to the newspaper and it would be a conflict of interest — but I'd still like to see pages created. Anyone interested? —69.0.55.178 06:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

It looks like this has largely been done. Is there still a need? I live near Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County and would be glad to work on it. CsikosLo (talk) 18:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Virginia?

Whether or not Fredericksburg and Spotsy county is a part of Northern Virginia is something that can be debated endlessly. The governor (Mr Kaine) said it was late last year and was taken to task by the local press, but now The Free Lance–Star ran an article on Sunday asking local prominent folks the same question. There is no conclusion. I will change the article to reflect that better than it does now. CsikosLo (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fredericksburg Seal.gif

Image:Fredericksburg Seal.gif 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 08:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
