Made it! Thanks for your help and encouragement. It's a first for WikiProject Cheshire. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 20:30, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Armory Square and other Syracuse Historic DistrictsHi, yes i do have an opinion, that indeed it is fine and appropriate to include a list of any or all of the contributing properties of a historic district in its article. I myself have edited some historic district articles towards that goal, could round up some examples if u like. You could even choose to create a table of them if you like, as in our list-articles of individual NRHPs. That could allow for you to add pics and descriptions if you like. Or just list them and describe them to whatever extent you like. Probably some individual contributing properties are notable enough for separate articles, if you choose to create them, but many should be just listed and described in the overall district article. There's been recent discussion at wt:NRHP about creating a separate article for contributing properties or not. Or maybe i am thinking of discussion about creating separate articles for delisted properties or not, in which i think it was Elkman who pointed out that they can be listed but separate articles are not usually needed. doncram (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC) Hey, i wonder if you'd be willing to help develop this article, just created by Bmpowell, and put it up for DYK sharing a credit to him. I butted in on a conversation at User talk:Nyttend which moved to my talk page and then to Talk:Nicholas County High School. Bmp was very nice about being guided on some things and then doing a nice job with the new article, which is in pretty good shape already. It doesn't look like he has DYKs in his record, and the article looks relatively easy to put up for DYK. I think you are better than me at what remains to be done.... :) doncram (talk) 00:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Re: Joseph and Mary Jane League HouseI saw your note on Doncram's talk page just now; opening the page, I find that it downloads about 15 KB before stopping.

It wasn't me on Sunday - I took these today. I'm actually not thrilled with my Walnut Ave photo - if you happened to take one on Sunday that's better, feel free to replace mine with it. It's great that the list is now complete! Crazyale (talk) 02:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Walnut ParkAs a an SU alum, I liked the Walnut Park article (and added it to the appropriate cat). I suggest you go back in warmer weather and see about getting a picture of the whole district. If you can go up to the upper stories of Bird Library and shoot through the windows, you'll probably get the best possible picture with all the frat houses on the sides and the trees in the middle. Also, it may be a long rectangle but it is not a linear park because it doesn't follow a road or watercourse or some sort of path. See if you can find some good sourcing for when SU's spring block party was held there (from what I've found more recently via Google, it was moved indoors some time back, which makes sense because the weather at that time of year is awful about three-quarters of the time, but then it's a block party in name only). I have a lot of fond memories of that event. Daniel Case (talk) 19:29, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

WoolarocI see you created the article Woolaroc Ranch Historic District and doncram redirected Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve to it. There is also an existing article Woolaroc. Can these articles be merged? I know nothing about Woolaroc, but it is a museum in Oklahoma that is linked to List of museums in Oklahoma, and I thought it best to have the most complete article. Any help with this is appreciated. Jllm06 (talk) 21:33, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
World Heritage Site listsYou mentioned "I realized that likely most of the redlinks had articles, so I started in EUR checking for articles and pipelinking them, but now I'm thinking that i should possibly be setting up redirects instead....which is the way you'd normally do it?". I would be sure to set up redirects first, so that anyone searching on the exact WHS title for a site will find it. Then, afterwards, if u want to put in pipelinks so the wikilink goes directly to the article instead of via the redirect, you can do that (but it is then not really necessary). doncram (talk) 16:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
canvassingPerhaps you are unaware that the fact that the cited edit might be construed as canvassing was called to his attention at his talk page by Orlady, which I believe led to his comment here. I think a couple of isolated notes to specific individuals pales a little in comparison to your notices at Wikiproject Tennessee. If he had posted such notices at WP:NRHP, that would be comparable, and I would imagine that was a temptation. At any rate, I doubt that either of you intentionally violated the guideline/policy of WP:canvassing. Lvklock (talk) 20:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

NRHP featured properties
NRHP progressWikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/ProgressNRHPlistsByState looks good. Sure, take out Boston, it doesn't make sense to keep it in, if tallying by the number of counties (I think it is in all in one county, Suffolk, which also has non-Boston elements). So far, it is a bit hard to see where work needs to be done, as you have to scroll through a lot already done and compare numbers to see if there is a difference. I couldn't detect any difference, visually, at all, but i knew to look for Arkansas then i see that. That could be addressed by using another column to report a difference. Maybe use abbreviations so columns narrow, to fit in another column like that? So, the tracking will be by number of counties covered vs. to be covered? I guess i actually thought you'd do a tally for just the states and territories needing work, which would be those in the bottom section at List of RHPs that just have estimates, not final tallies. But i like seeing what we have done, too, interesting to see how many counties. And, we could want to cover other matters going back to all states, say for revising how top stuff is handled, or checking whether all sublists are have been tagged with the wikiproject banner, etc. The Other section needs to be broken out to cover Guam vs. various other places needing work (see the broken out elements within List of RHPs. Another way to do it, or perhaps a complementary thing, would be to splice together the tally-by-county tables for the unfinished states. But, hmm, that would just duplicate them where they currently are, causing more work. Your tracking should be more summary. So, i like what you have, but with narrow columns. Also the formatting with that dotted green line always was odd, it stems from an example i copied from long ago when tables seemed very new, but odd is okay by me. Note, also there is Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/ProgressOnRHPsByState which has, at bottom, some old tallies of how many articles in the wikiproject there were. One thing to do this month would be to get a good new total of articles covered overall (and perhaps in each state, but i don't think that's feasible). What is current total tally? Then we'll get a bot run this month, and/or tag a log more using AWB or otherwise, and increase the count by a lot. I'd like to have it recorded and then see progress.
(unindent) FYI, a redirect from "Town, AR" to "Town, Arkansas" will probably get questioned and/or deleted, if the Town, Arkansas article does not exist. Perhaps u meant to create a Bussey, Arkansas article after this edit. No big deal, either the town article will get created or the redir will get deleted by someone. --doncram
NRHP listings in Syracuse peer reviewI have contributed my thoughts (generally, a good job). I should add that I actually like that you got some pictures of buildings in snow ... this is the snowiest city in the lower 48 we're talking about, after all. Would you like to return the favor and be the first human to peer review Central Troy Historic District? Daniel Case (talk) 14:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC) Thank you for your comments! I must modestly decline your accolades for most of the pictures ... Wadester16 went and improved on my original photos. I'm sorry about that whitespace ... I've noticed the same issue too when viewing that page with IE. I honestly don't know how to fix it. Making the maps really isn't hard. I screen-cap the appropriate section from Open Street Map, then put the overlays in in Photoshop and save it as a PNG. I also have some suggestions for one of your Syracuse articles: Hall of Languages, Syracuse University, a building I have very fond memories of since it (at least then; I think it still does) housed the English department (as well as religion, philosophy and (I think) political science) and I spent a lot of time in its classrooms and offices. You definitely want to get a picture of its interior, since it was completely gutted in the early '80s and rebuilt. It now has a very contemporary interior with a sort of slanted atrium that goes up two or three stories from the front ... you'd see it almost immediately upon entry. This would have happened after it was listed, so you'll need some other source. Also, I don't know if the nomination said this or not, but I'm not entirely sure it's the earliest SU building (it certainly is the oldest extant one). I always thought it was slightly predated by Winchell Hall, a small brick building across the street that was demolished in the early 1980s to make way for the Schine Student Center. Or maybe I'm just remembering that Winchell was the university's first chancellor. Whatever. Funny yet unecyclopedic story about "HL" as it's referred to on-campus: One group I was part of was responsible for organzing homecoming every year, and among those responsibilities was organizing the homecoming king and queen contest. That includes developing the questions you ask the candidates. We decided one year to include an offbeat one: If you could be any building on campus, which one would you be? (yes, it got some laughs). Almost every respondent said that they'd be the Hall of Languages. Perhaps I should look up the nom and expand the article for you. It would be a labor of love, and it wouldn't take a lot of time since it's an early '70s app and likely to be short.

I have been ever-so-slowly working my way through the counties. I've slowed to snail's pace lately because my work schedule has encroached significantly on the time I spend out here. But I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope to have at least a little more time for tableizing here. That said, I've been working through the NC counties in reverse order of the number of listings. The county counts in the table on the main NC page are based on a spreadsheet I have with NC listings which I think is comprehensive and up-to-the-minute. After I create a separate article for Robeson County, my plan was to leave the tables for the remaining counties on the main NC page (like what I did with Virginia). If that results in an overly large article, I was planning to split out more counties in reverse order of the number of listings. If this seems like a reasonable plan to you, perhaps we can work in opposite directions with respect to the number of listings and meet somewhere in the middle. One of us could start with the counties with the fewest listings and work up and the other could start with the counties with the most listings and work down. But I'm happy to share the work in some other way if you prefer. Let me know what you think. --sanfranman59 (talk) 02:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Bethel Historic District (Bethel, Missouri)Hi, Lvklock. While added state-specific HD categories to HD articles, I ran across Bethel Historic District (Bethel, Missouri) and am proposing a merger into Bethel, Missouri. It's past my bedtime, so I won't attempt any profound comments right now, but I wanted to give you a heads-up, as article creator. --Orlady (talk) 05:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
What happens when neither of us can change the others mind? (response to your comment on my talk page)I've pretty much given up on trying to reach consensus on the page-move issues (there are at least two parties who keep moving pages), but I continue to focus on trying to improve/maintain the quality of whichever articles currently exist. My main concern is the quality and quantity of information. --Orlady (talk) 17:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
HDs nationwideWhat do you think of filing a bot request to help with Category:Historic districts in the United States? I'm thinking of asking for a bot to add the category itself to all articles with "hd" or "nhld" in the "type" line of the infobox, as long as those articles weren't already in a state-level category. Once this was complete, we'd be able to remove the category from the table without running the risk of missing any, and an edit to add the state-level category to each site could easily include removing the national category. It should be easy: far easier than trying to keep track of which states or letters had been sorted into state-level categories. Nyttend (talk) 19:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

NY 57 photo requestHey there. I noticed that you've taken a few pictures (excellent pics by the way) for several Syracuse-area state route articles. Could I ask you for a big favor? The article on New York State Route 57, a fairly significant route which began in Syracuse up until it ceased to exist in 1982, could use some pictures to accentuate the prose. Apparently there are reference markers on the portion of old NY 57 (current County Route 57) between Fulton and Phoenix (based on another wiki user's edit), and a picture of one of those in the style of File:NY 18 ref marker on Lake Rd.jpg or File:NY 253 ref marker.JPG would be great. Other pics, like one of the southern terminus of New York State Route 264 (which is at old NY 57) would be very useful as well. I'm not sure of where you are in relation to Syracuse, but if this request isn't too much of a burden I'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me, and by extension the article and Wikipedia, out. Thanks! – TMF 08:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey again, just checking up on the request. At the same time, I have another one, this time for a current route in the Syracuse area that may or may not be closer to you than Phoenix. =) This one is New York State Route 598, located just northeast of downtown. What would really be a good pic is the intersection of NY 298 and NY 598, a picture of a "NY 930M" reference marker (the former designation of NY 598 between NY 298 and the Syracuse city line), if any still exist (they may have been all changed over to read "598"), or anything else you think will work well. I noticed you've been on break for a bit, so if you don't have time to get to this, that's fine. Thanks. – TMF 07:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

And Elbridge, too). I will be trying to take some roadscape photos, if the weather makes it glorious enough and we have made good time — I-81 along the moraines, that view of Cortland from I-81 as you approach (the article needs that!) the Thruway through the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge (you know, the long straight section where you can see two miles ahead), and perhaps US 20 at Big Bend, just off the interstate ...

Daniel Case (talk) 18:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC) Blocks and bansThis is in response to your comment on the 3RR noticeboard (which doesn't need any more clutter, IMO). You may find Wikipedia:Blocking policy interesting reading. Blocks and bans at Wikipedia are not supposed to be forms of punishment so much as they are supposed to protect Wikipedia and the user community from disruptive behavior. (I'm not quoting the page here -- those are my words, and the page may say things a little bit differently.) I realize that it's hard for all of us not to think of them as punishments. However, if you think of them as preventive actions it's much easier to accept the seeming inconsistencies in their application. If the general idea is to cause disruptive behavior to cease -- and hopefully not happen again, it makes sense that different cases would be handled differently, and that evidence of new disruptive activity does not necessarily lead to extending the duration of an ongoing user block. As for whether or not Polaron was socking, the evidence is all at the WP:SPI case and it seems pretty clear. It's not for me to second-guess the decision of the administrator who handled that case and determined the durations of the blocks, and I don't think it's beneficial for the community to continue discussing a closed SPI case on the 3RR noticeboard. (Similarly, it's not for me to second-guess the decisions of the administrator who handled the 3RR case.) YMMV. --Orlady (talk) 18:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC) Good to run into you!I've got a couple or three AC pictures left, but I think all of them are empty lots! :{ The only real site I think I have left is the Stafford Historic district in Ventor, and even that was from me hurrying before dark, hunger, etc. 4 pix there and I think I got one that could go up. In short, I'd love to see yours. In particular, I may have Barclay Court, Holmhurst Hotel, Morton Hotel ?, Santa Rita Apartments, and the Segal Building, but I have to sort them out, and they are all empty lots or parking lots, if I remember correctly. i.e. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you have. BTW, I have a strict policy that I will never get upset if somebody replaces one of my photos - I'm a strict amateur at this and everybody can get better pix than me!

Not to be totally negative, I drove thru Gloucester County on the way to AC and got this. Smallbones (talk) 05:17, 13 November 2010 (UTC)  Invitation to join WikiProject United States
--Kumioko (talk) 03:25, 5 January 2011 (UTC) re the AN discussion relating to doncram and a proposed ban on the creation of alleged low quality stubsYou have in your contributions to the above discussion alleged various violations, by un-named parties in most part, of Wikipedia:No personal attacks. I have asked, on that page, for you to supply some examples, by way of diffs, of such personal attacks so I may review them and take such action as I deem necessary. I am asking because my reason for moving my "comment" to "support" was in light of doncram's responses to what appeared reasonable points made by some editors immediately before the AN discussion was opened. If these comments, although still inappropriate in some cases, were made following bad faith comments by those other parties then I shall have to reconsider my opinion. I look forward to your response.

It is File:Stanley Theater Utica NY Jun 07.jpg. Don't know whether you want to change out the one you took in Stanley Theater (Utica, New York), since the one I uploaded includes the marquee.--Pubdog (talk) 20:58, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Straw stuffHey. I think your comments shouldn't have been reverted over at WP:NRHP. I mentioned that there, but I think it was lost in the doncram-iness of it all. Sadly, I don't believe things will change anytime soon. I'll just keep taking pictures of sites, 'cause that's, you know, fun. Later. --Ebyabe (talk) 14:37, 15 June 2011 (UTC) An arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram. Evidence that you wish the Arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence sub-page, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 25, 2013, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can contribute to the case workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Doncram/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, (X! · talk) · @812 · 18:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC) Your Arbitration evidence is too longHello, Lvklock. Thank you for your recent submission of evidence for the Doncram Arbitration case. As you may be aware, the Arbitration Committee asks that users submitting evidence in cases adhere to limits regarding the length of their submissions. These limits, currently at 1000 words and 100 diffs for parties and 500 words and 50 diffs for all others, are in place to ensure that the Arbitration Committee receives only the most important information relevant to the case, and is able to determine an appropriate course of action in a reasonable amount of time. The evidence you have submitted currently exceeds at least one of these limits, and is presently at 731 words and 6 diffs. Please try to reduce the length of your submission to fit within these limits; this guide may be able to provide some help in doing so. If the length of your evidence is not reduced soon, it may be refactored or removed by a human clerk within a few days. Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the case, please contact the drafting Arbitrator or case clerk (who are listed on the case pages); if you have any questions or concerns about this bot, please contact the operator.
