National Register of Historic Places listings in Valdez–Cordova Census Area, Alaska

Howdy, I noticed that a request to split the Valdez-Cordova NRHP list was made last year, but was never completed. I have created the lists for Chugach and Copper River Census Areas, which are ready to be deployed. I thought I would let you know beforehand, to be ready to update any bots that would be affected. I'll watch here for a reply. 25or6to4 (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and make the changes. I'll do what's needed after you've finished. Thanks for the heads up! Magic♪piano 15:13, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I'm working through the pages that link to the old page currently, but have not set up a redirect page yet. 25or6to4 (talk) 06:01, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Impressive work taking pictures of NRHP sites

I've been trying to semisystematically correct the geographic coordinates of NRHP sites (concentrating on Massachusetts, perhaps more on that later). This is largely an armchair task, requiring merely to find the site in Google Street View and compare it to the Wikipedia picture. Almost without exception the pictures were taken by you, and almost without exception the picture is good enough (no trees in the way, etc.) to make a positive identification. That was an impressive amount of footwork you must have done, visiting all those sites and taking good pictures. Much appreciated. —scs (talk) 15:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You'll find that Faolin42 has also taken a great many pictures in and near Massachusetts. I've been all over New England -- thanks for the good words! Magic♪piano 01:52, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UpdateNRHPProgress script not working?

I just tried to run User:Magicpiano/NRBot/UpdateNRHPProgress.js for the first time in a while, and it doesn't seem to work for me anymore; aside from logging a console message that I ran the script, the button doesn't do anything. Looking at the code, I think there's an error in the CheckPermission function; if the user who runs the script isn't an authorized user and the script isn't disabled, the function doesn't return anything, so the return value defaults to undefined and is evaluated as false. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:48, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely correct. I believe it is fixed now, if you want to try it again. Magic♪piano 14:34, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Samuel Ferris House

You were the first one to refer to the address of this house as being at 1 Cary Street (Dec 2014) and the article has remained such to this day. I felt I should put my 2 cents in by changing it to 1 Cary Road. My mom, dad, 3 sisters and I lived in that house from 1978 until 1984 and I received a bunch of mail addressed to 1 Cary Road. It faces the Post Road separated by a guard rail about 40-50 feet away, the driveway in the back of the house is on Fitch Lane. There is a Salt Box addition at the back that serves as the bathroom. A taller person cannot stand up straight in the shower except very close to the faucet. We almost never used the front door, the one leading out of the kitchen was very old though, with double layered diagonal pine boards clench-nailed. The edge of the door had a palm print worn into it over a long time of the same person pushing the door open at the same spot. I wish I had learned more about the house back then, but I can still visualize everything about the interior, especially the ceilings shorter than I was.

I'm creating a short promotional video for a high school friend who now lives in Idaho. He mentions during the interview that he used to fish at Abbots Run Valley stream in R.I. when he was s small boy. Your photograph came up during Google search and I'd like to use it in my piece. Please allow me this courtesy and tell me whAT attribution you'd like me to provide in the credits.

Thank you for you consideration.

Image for G.W. Reed Traveler’s Home

Hi, I thought I should let you know the house pictured in the article “G.W. Reed Travelers Home” is not the correct building. It is actually a few houses over from that one, at 148 Falls Road and can be seen at Historic New England’s site, listed as the “David Reed House, Benton Falls Maine”. https://www.historicnewengland.org/explore/collections-access/gusn/166962/

Thank you. Sebasticookmaine (talk) 03:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Humph. How could I have missed that? (My identification of the house was based on that picture. I assumed it had undergone some significant alteration in intervening years.) Perhaps you could upload a picture of the correct house (I don't live anywhere near there). Magic♪piano 12:48, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Story Mound error

You seem to have had success in making edits in Wikipedia, and I have not been successful. There is an entry for a mound of dirt in Saylor park created during a school construction protect that got listed as an Indian Mound named Story Mound, which is actually in Chillicothe OH. In the edit history of the page I see attempts to make corrects going back a dozen years. I would be happy to send you the documentation that I have and the chain of messages trying to get it corrected if you think you might be able to help correct the entry. Bob Coil bobcoiltrb@gmail.com Bobcoiltrb (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would strongly recommend you work with your state historic preservation office (which your local historical society should be familiar with) to get the mound delisted from the National Register, if what you claim is true. As a rule, what gets placed in Wikipedia needs to be confirmable through "public" sources; for example, if the historical society has a regular publication, it could run a story about this location, describing its history. Wikipedia editors could then use that (and/or the information surround a National Register delisting) to update the article. (I note that there is a separate location in Chillicothe that is also called "Story Mound", but I'm assuming it is unrelated to the one you describe in Sayler Park, Cincinnati.)

NRHPweekly citations

Hi Magicpiano,

a citation like <ref>{{NRHPweekly}}</ref>, which you added in e.g. [1] [2] [3], is quite unhelpful - the linked page lists hundreds of list pages, changing over time; expecting Wikipedia readers and your fellow editors to spend their time searching through these to find out where you had read the information is neither polite nor consistent with WP:CS. Next time please link directly to a page that contains the information. Regards, HaeB (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FL-class articles and NRHPPROGRESS

I was working on cleaning up the untagged articles on WP:NRHPPROGRESS, since it looks like they've been building up for a while. It looks like Pershing House, a properly tagged featured list, shows up in the statistics as untagged. I assume this is intentional behavior - probably to catch articles that redirect back to the county lists - but I feel like we should have a way to handle sites whose articles are actually written in a list format. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:26, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to actually be an oversight in the code. Dudeman made a list of talk-page categories to check for, but omitted "FL-Class National Register of Historic Places articles" as a parent class to check for. It is arguable that that category should be a subcategory of "List-Class National Register of Historic Places articles" (which is in the list of cats to check), but it currently is not. (Doing that would imply also properly categorizing the subcategories of the FL-Class cat into the subcategories of List-Class.) Thanks for noticing this. Magic♪piano 13:16, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've made all of the needed changes to various bits of Javascript to deal with this.
Speaking of bugs with untagged artices, I think I caught another one; the NRHPStats script and the progress table sometimes produce different results, and I think it has something to do with the UpdateNRHPProgress script not catching articles without a talk page. For example, the entry in NRHPPROGRESS for Boundary County, Idaho shows one untagged article, but National Register of Historic Places listings in Boundary County, Idaho shows two, one of which doesn't have a talk page. (I'll hold off on tagging the articles until you have a chance to look at it.) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 15:47, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. The actual problem had to do with how UpdateNRHPProgress batched and rolled up statistics. Some needed tallying into the rollup was not taking place when the talk page was not found. Magic♪piano 00:40, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but I think the bug got worse. Right now NRHPPROGRESS shows 24,362 untagged articles, which can't possibly be right. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I think I see the problem. It looks like the script is now counting sites with no article as untagged. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:29, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that probably shouldn't be happening. I know what's going wrong, need to figure out how to fix it. Magic♪piano 14:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that took care of it. Please let me know if you see inconsistencies. Magic♪piano 00:11, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've noticed you seem to have taken on the responsibility of maintaining "National Register of Historic Places" lists. Thanks for all your work. I just wanted to make sure of the Manual of Style guidelines on lead sections, specifically on first sentences. MOS:THISISALIST says:

Similarly, if the page is a list, do not introduce the list as "This is a list of X" or "This list of Xs...". A clearer and more informative introduction to the list is better than verbatim repetition of the title. A good example of this is the List of Benet Academy alumni.(See also Format of the first sentence below.)

Wolastoq aka Saint John River (Bay of Fundy)

Hi there. Today I was doing some research for an edit at Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, and this source described the "Wolastoq-St. John watershed". I started poking around and found these two Wikipedia articles, Wolastoq and Saint John River (Bay of Fundy). After reading both articles, I realized both articles were about exactly the same river. You recognized this way back in 2018, but your redirect was removed. There has been discussion on both articles about fixing this, but no consensus. After reading both articles, I think Wikipedia's readers would benefit from merging both articles. I'd appreciate your opinion. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 11:34, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw that you added a listing to the Perry County Ohio page for National Register of Historical Places for this, supposedly with reference number 100006136, but as far as I can tell that listing doesn't exist. I've researched the company's history extensively (see Ludowici Roof Tile page for this) and was very interested in seeing what prompted you to add this listing.

I update the NRHP lists from the weekly listing updates published by the National Park Service. In the case of the listing you mention, the listing appears in the update published February 12, 2021, which you can find in this PDF. More information about the listing's nomination may be available from the National Archives (although a listing from 2021 is recent enough that it may not appear there yet), or from the state's historic preservation office.

NRHPBot & USA Counties map updates

Hi there, I recently updated the Map of US counties to incorporate the Copper River & Chugach boroughts & noticed that the NRHP project used a version as the source of your maps on the Progress page.

I saw in your scripts that there were a few exceptions for not just those two boroughs in Alaska, but a few more. In an attempt to streamline the process, I took the updated counties map & created a sample base map that could be used & also wrote an update to the map script that - barring a few changes to page names for testing purposes should be all working.

The only issue I ran into when running it is that a few of the county IDs in Alaska were set to FIPS codes that differed from what I'm seeing on the map / Census site. Those were:

  • Kusilvak (02270 on the tables, 02158 in the map)
  • Copper River (02270 on the tables, 02066 in the map)
  • Prince of Wales-Hyder (02201 on the tables, 02198 in the map)
  • Petersburg (02280 on the tables, 02195 in the map)

Otherwise, it should be ready to deploy. Here's the output of the script & a sample of the updated map.

I hope this is helpful, let me know if you notice any issues or there are additional tweaks to be made. Bpmcneilly (talk) 00:16, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to take a look at it, but the updated base map is something I had actually requested at the Commons Graphics workshop some time ago. The FIPS code business is a bit of magic that the previous maintainer of the code did, but he hacked around the Peetersburg/Prince of Wales-Hyder things because the base maps weren't up to date. Hopefully I can now undo the hacks and things can Just Work. Thanks for your effort! Magic♪piano 01:54, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
