[edit] Lowest Point Elevation

I'm collecting references to the lowest point elevations in the various counties. Once all counties have references, the lowest of them all will be put in the infobox on the main page.

[edit] Lawrence County, other counties

I am not sure if wiki is following a standard here, if they are Pittsburgh metro should be greatly expanded.

Cleveland's metro article includes the equivalent of Pittsburgh's Lawrence County (Cleveland includes a non MSA but CSA county Ashtabula without any note or explanation), Charlotte does note the difference between their CSA and MSA but then includes a county in neither one (Chesterfield SC) and includes counties in neither with the explanation that they are "sometimes" included in metro Charlotte. Metro NYC does a good job explaining MSA and CSA but then includes two CT counties that are in neither in their metroplex. Would love to hear what the standard is. I plan on adding Lawrence and the DMA counties soon here thank you. Hholt01 00:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Map of Pennsylvania highlighting Lawrence County.png

Image:Map of Pennsylvania highlighting Lawrence County.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
