[edit] Use of So Many Hyperlinks

Is it really necessary to have so many hyperlinks on this page? Like, does anyone seriously not know what a highway is? Or a state legislator? Has no one heard of wind, snow, and rain? If these hypothetical people have any doubts I'm sure they can look up these problem spots on their own.

Thanks, 212! (or however you type that) I'd been thinking that this phrase range a bell from somewhere else, but I couldn't quite place it. Now I remember what that's all about. :) -- John Owens 09:44 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

Removed: ...which is the only U.S. coin that has a head on both sides.

Or rather, a head on one side and a rock formation that looks kind of like a face if you squint right on the other. --Brion 17:43 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
I've put it back in but in a much more carefully worded manner. -- Minesweeper 08:37 May 11, 2003 (UTC)

Anyone have an actual picture of the cliff (before or after) to contribute? Maybe pictures from your vacation? -kwertii

[edit] New Hampshire native

That's a really odd article, IMHO, which is why I undid the link the first time around. Since "native" means "born in the location," explaining that New Hampshire native means "born in New Hampshire" seems - well, kind of silly, with or without an RSA. It's like having an article called New Hampshire resident. For all practical purposes, all the article does is tell people to look at list of New Hampshire people. Does it strike anybody else this way, or am I being pedantic? - DavidWBrooks 17:12, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

I haven't had the time to change the list of New Hampshire people to make the distinction between native and people from New Hampshire. We plan to have a separate list, but I will take the input of fellow wiki contributers. Assawyer 00:51, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David Nielsen

I'm going out on a limb here, but I assume the David Nielsen mentioned in here is not the David Nielsen the page links too. Anyone have concrete information? --ORBIT 08:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Not much of a limb! I removed the link. - DavidWBrooks 13:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
But yet it's back to the same different person :) 24.34.46.96 13:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Collapse follows State quarter

What about pointing out that the timing of the Face's collapse was ironic, coming just a short time after the State quarter was introduced?

Thanks for your consideration. Dave Andrew 04:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

If people consider the juxtaposition ironic, they will consider it ironic - telling them "hey, this is ironic" is unnecessary, IMHO. Besides, the coin came out three years before the collapse, not exactly a short time. - DavidWBrooks 20:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:NHemblem.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
