The State of Mississippi has a site about folk artists.
Here is one from Sunflower County. His house is between Parchman and Rome:

That One Bay Along the Mississippi-Alabama State Line: Name?
It isn't included on most maps (for whatever reason; perhaps because it runs north-south, along the Mississippi-Alabama state line, thus being essentially coterminous with the state line, and so wouldn't display well on political maps), but I have seen it on a large, 3D topographical map in Storm Hall, at San Diego State University. Highway 90 presumably crosses it (and no, I'm not talking about Mobile Bay, or St. Louis Bay, but rather a body of water that is significantly larger than St. Louis Bay, and which is located between them ie. west of Mobile Bay, and east of St. Louis Bay.
Surely, anyone who lives (or has lived) in southeast Mississippi, must know the name of this body of water...so, what is it? Thank you for your assistance. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 21:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Unincorporated communities in Mississippi
I am preparing to conduct semi-automated assessments of the class/quality of c. 340 articles in Category:Unincorporated communities in Mississippi (many are currently unassessed stubs), and I want to ask which importance rating ('Low', 'Mid' or 'High') should be assigned to these unincorporated communities—assuming, of course, that it would be acceptable to apply the same rating to all of them. Thank you, -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I would imagine they should all be "low" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbuzzard (talk • contribs) 08:28, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Mississippi
It was recently suggested that this project be included in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been any recent discussions on the talk page and very few updates to the main project page. Before any action is taken I want to ensure that the members of the project concur with this action. I will contact each of the active members of the project and ask them to comment as well. Please feel free to contact me if there are any comments or questions. --Kumioko (talk) 01:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- What does this "support" entail? The project being taken over by WikiProject United States? How will this project benefit? 03:36, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Good Question. First let me say that the project page with members stay basically as they are with the members able to dictate how things happen, scope of the project, etc. Its not going to be absorbed or dissolved in any way and the scope won't change unless the members want it too. The only change would be that the WikiProject banner would be replaced with the WPUS banner with WikiProject Arizona (and any other supported projects) embedded within it. You can take a look at Category talk:Visitor attractions in South Carolina to see an example. All the projects use a standard group of parameters (Needs infobox, image, attention, etc) it also reduces the number of banners cluttering up the talk page of the articles. All the projects use the same article classes (If the project doesn't want to though thats ok too but the rest do and I would like to try and keep it as standard as possible).
- How it will be supported can depend on what the members of the project want but typically WPUS is a bigger project with a lot more members, it has a newsletter, a monthly collaboration, multiple bots that run actively through the articles for various things (as can be seen on the members page) with more being setup as we go along. This means that it will be seen by a lot of people in a lot of ways. Up till now we have mostly been concentrating on building up the project but soon we are going to be starting to do some drives to build up articles, create new ones, recruit for the supported projects, etc. I hope this helps. --Kumioko (talk) 03:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- This discussion has been open for 10 days so far. Does anyone else have comments or questions about this discussion? --Kumioko (talk) 18:55, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Considering this project is hardly used, it's kind of pointless to have this discussion on a page that no one comes to in the first place. Which I guess is even further cause to say go on and do it.... I don't care one way or the other. 15:55, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
