User talk:PubdogNRHP naming conventionHi Pubdog, I noticed you revised a link in the List of NHLs in MD article which I contributed to in the past and is on my "watchlist". Glad to see you making contibutions. I hope you don't mind my providing some feedback / asking for discussion about article naming conventions. I see that you moved/renamed Montpelier Mansion to add city and state info in the article name. Glancing at your contributions, I see that you've made similar moves, for example moving William W. Early House to William W. Early House (Brandywine, Maryland). For sites listed on the NRHP, it is customary to add "(City, State)" in article names when necessary for disambiguating from other NRHP sites of the same name (with wikipedia articles already or not) or for disambiguating from other non-NRHP places. I don't know if there are any other Montpelier Mansions in the world, but I am pretty that there is only one notable William W. Early House, so the name was unique. So at least the last rename was not necessary, and I may revert it. In general, names should be only as long as necessary to be unique, in my view, and i think this view will be consistent with wikipedia article naming policies. Could you please reply here (I'll watch this Talk page for a while) or to my Talk page? Also, if you're interested in NRHP sites, please consider joining wp:NRHP and/or commenting or asking questions at its talk page, wt:NRHP. Keep up the good work! doncram (talk) 22:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The primary spource for the article was the Maryland Historical Trust website, http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=1013&FROM=NRMapPR.html, which is a government website and I believe is in the public domain. The article is edited to reflect how I beleieve a Wikipedia entry should be presented. It is cited as an External site, but perhaps should be a reference too? My interest here is to work on PG County historical sites. I sense there is some resistence to my doing so, so please advise whether I should consider my efforts. I am enjoying this very much, but your assumption that I am copying from the Brandywine site is rather disturbing--Pubdog (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
disambiguation toolsFYI, when wondering about whether a given name needs disambiguation or not, i use two Elkman-supported tools: http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/dablinker.php which generates starter text for a new disambiguation page; and http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/whohas.php, which checks for any occurrences of a given word or phrase in any NRHP site name. Using the latter on the word "stables" i see there are only about 10 NRHP places nation-wide with that word in the name, for example. Of course Google searching is another tool relevant in a disambiguation question... searching on "Belair Stables" turns up mostly hits on the Bowie, Maryland one, but also in the first two pages of results shows a historic use of Bel-Air Stables in Los Angeles, CA, and a Bel Air Stables in Arizona. I interpret that to mean that the Bel Air Stables in Maryland is the primary usage, and I think the others are not wikipedia notable, so I would not create articles on them. So a disambiguation page on Belair Stables would have just one entry, i.e. be an invalid disambiguation page, so i conclude it doesn't need disambiguation.... that's just to share how i would think about it, and about the tools. I expect that your judgment was correct for some of the Prince George's County places, that there needed to be disambiguation for them. These tools would help you create disambiguation pages listing the plausible alternatives (like I explained about creating the Leonard House disambiguation above). I don't want to be mysterious about tools that i have use of. No reply necessary, just sharing. doncram (talk) 00:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
ImagesOnce again, good work on the new articles and pictures. I would ask that you turn off the time stamp in your images if you can - there's always a time stamp in the image file metadata in any case. Also, be careful of specific photographs of sculptures like Mother and Child Jan 09.JPG, as those images will fall afoul of copyright - they aren't treated like buildings. I'll do some research, but I will probably have to zap it as a copyvio unless there's a fair-use rationale that can be made. Sorry. Acroterion (talk) 23:07, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
geo reorganization of Baltimore NRHP list-articlesHey i see u have done a whole lot of developing of MD's NRHP lists. They look great. Including all the pics added to sections of the Baltimore list-tables, which didn't exist 2 months ago....nice job. Anyhow, i wondered if u noticed discussion at wt:NRHP about organizing single city lists. It's linked from a side discussion i was hoping to start up with you, at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Baltimore (Independent City). I would be into re-splitting up the Baltimore lists into 9 (or fewer) geo-based lists. Each resulting article would look pretty much the same, just involves cutting and pasting rows into different tables. Please comment! Cheers, doncram (talk) 05:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC) I very much appreciate your work on Maryland NRHP articles Deanlaw (talk) 22:30, 29 January 2009 (UTC) Editing William W. Early houseI notice you took a photo of my house just a couple of weeks ago and added it here. Nice photo. I'm also the creator of BrandywineMD.com, which has history of the house and town. I'm also familiar with other resources (newspaper articles) for the article to expand it if you're interested. I could help work on the article if it's not against any rules (there are too many rules here). Maybe there is a good example of a complete historic house entry? You can contact me through my web site as I might not check back here soon.

Opera singer exampleThe pattern that I follow is the same as I see people follow in general: if the person has no article, remove unless it's something that makes you automatically notable (essentially, either a politician or a professional athlete). Moreover, if the person's article says nothing about the place (for a random example, say if I placed Ezra Meeker at that same community as the opera singer) remove, because there's nothing associating them. Nyttend (talk) 03:57, 22 February 2009 (UTC) HDsPerhaps these areas are centered at the two addresses? All I know is that they are officially districts: if the Register lists them as districts, I don't see how they couldn't be districts, even if tiny for a district. Perhaps you could ask Doncram or Elkman? Nyttend (talk) 18:14, 20 February 2009 (UTC) DisambiguatingHi Pubdog. An edit title of yours with "DAB" in it caught my eye, off my watchlist, so I went ahead and created Franklin Square Historic District. You were right in this case that adding (city, state) was needed to distinguish the Baltimore one from others of the same name. In general, it would be more helpful if you'd go ahead and start a disambiguation page if you identify that one is needed. You can generate a cut-and-paste-ready one using Elkman's tool for that at http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/dablinker.php. And you can tag that for review by me, or tag any other disambiguation page for review by me, by adding {{tl:NRHP dab needing cleanup}} at the top. doncram (talk) 20:11, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Joppa(towne)One interesting thing, at least in my mind, is that outside of Maryland there really aren't many historic districts that redirect to neighborhoods; it's really not the standard pattern nationwide, at least in the 25-or-so states that I've observed. If you want to redirect it, by the way, you'd likely do better to send it to Joppa, Maryland, which seems to me to be about an abandoned village that may well be the actual site. Nyttend (talk) 18:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC) BowieHi!

Image deletionI've deleted File:Crawford-Gardner House Apr 09.JPG as you requested. In the future, if you want to have your own image deleted, could you simply place {{db-author}} on the page instead of deleting information and adding a notice on the talk page? Nothing wrong with doing what you did, but it will get deleted a lot faster if it's in the speedy deletion category that {{db-author}} will put it into. The only way I discovered it was looking through your contributions to see if you'd done anything with the house picture :-) Nyttend (talk) 00:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
WV Capitol ComplexThanks for the note! My first piece of advice: with a source, add a comment in the Comments column explaining that it's both capitol and mansion. Otherwise — because it's the Capitol Complex, not the Governor's Mansion Complex, I think it would be best to redirect it to a section of the Capitol article, which could include a note that the Governor's Mansion is also included, and then to include something in the Governor's Mansion article. The reason I reverted, by the way, is simply because the first column is supposed to display exactly what the official place name is, other than corrections for spelling and formatting.

Former store locationsPlease do not continue to re-add former store locations to articles where these lists have been removed. Unless you are prepared to cite reliable sources establishing the notability of individual non-flagship store locations, then the locations are non-notable and not suitable for inclusion, and potentially unverifiable original research.

I live in Silver Spring myself and I am planning to start tracking down images for the National Register of Historic Places listings in Montgomery County, Maryland. Eli.pousson (talk) 01:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC) Peggy Stewart HouseHmm, interesting...thanks for explaining, because I'd not noticed the etymology. Even aside from its naming format, I assumed that it should be where I put it because it's alphabetised under S at the list of NHLs. I think that it's best to keep it at S because of what it looks like: the reader might initially be surprised at seeing any of our lists not going strictly alphabetically, but once it is realised that we alphabetise by last name, it would likely be rather surprising to find something that looks like it got missed, even if it's a different situation. Seems to me that, if we alphabetise by P, we should italicise "Peggy Stewart" to make clear that it's not a personal name. What do you think? Nyttend (talk) 12:31, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

David FerrieroWill you consider watchlisting David Ferriero and New York Public Library (NYPL)? I'm not sure what to make of unanticipated criticism of what I wrote about a living person in 2008. As you may know, Ferriero has been nominated to become the 10th Archivist of the United States. I'm puzzled by the complaint that the article appeared to have been drafted with an overly favorable bias; and I don't know how best to respond to the implied criticism of the NYPL article as well. I recognize that Wikipedia's article about NYPL does fail to address the extraordinary changes in corporate culture which have been implemented during Ferriero's tenure; and by implication, I see how this points to a significant flaw in the Ferriero article. I understand the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. I admit frankly that this is a little bit beyond my ability. --Tenmei (talk) 14:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC) Consistency in spellingConsistency is good! I've seen editors misspell the same word 5 different ways in the same article. I have enjoyed many of your photos, by the way. Happy editing! Hamlet stubsHi, Pubdog. I see you created stub articles for several hamlets in Niagara County. I'm not sure they meet our criteria for inclusion.

Oxon Cove ParkTry Search: Oxon Cove Park, Looks like 2 semi-dup articlesBenjamin Trovato (talk) 02:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC) disambiguation rulesHi, i noticed your recent edits in the U.S. Post Office article. I see you're adding value by linking from the entries in the disambiguation page to articles which now exist. FYI, though, the rules for disambiguation pages (mostly at wp:MOSDAB) include that pipelinks should not be used to hide what a disambiguation item links to. So, if there's an article at Old Post Office (Buffalo) which covers the NRHP there, and if that is the correct name to keep the article at, then disambiguation style policy is that the current NRHP-name-based entry for U.S. Post Office (Buffalo, New York) (which was a redlink) in the disambiguation page should be just changed to be the article name "Old Post Office (Buffalo)", rather than pipelinking to it from the NRHP name. Also, it would be helpful to set up a redirect from the NRHP name to the article name. I'll do that now for "U.S. Post Office (Buffalo, New York)". In NRHP list-articles, on the other hand, I believe it's proper to show the NRHP name for the place, so the Buffalo NRHP list-article should still show "U.S. Post Office (Buffalo, New York)" and should redirect or pipelink to the existing article at "Old Post Office (Buffalo)". In NRHP list-articles, I am very pro-NRHP, but disambiguation articles are different. A further question is whether "Old Post Office (Buffalo)" is the proper name for that article, which is not clear to me. I often am moving such articles to use (City, State) disambiguation rather than just (City) or just (State). And I don't see it justified in that article that it is named "Old Post Office". The NRHP infobox in the article should certainly show the NRHP name, instead, and the NRHP name should also appear in bold in the lede, IMO. I am not really enamored of these rules, and of maintaining the U.S. Post Office dab page, but since u are editing there i thot i should try to share this much. By the way the post office names have been discussed in wt:NRHP archives a few times. There could be room for improvement, for renaming a whole bunch of them, perhaps in conjunction with the National Register itself, but I haven't cared to really go further with it. Pls. let me know if I can address any questions or help if u had energy to get places actually renamed by the National Register. doncram (talk) 17:47, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
coordinates for historic placesI'm impressed by the work you're doing in this area, and I'd appreciate it if you'd be more careful in supplying latitude and longitude coordinates for these places. In particular, the number of minutes (or seconds) of latitude (or longitude) cannot be 60, as it was in Belmont Hotel (Belmont, New York) and Alverson-Copeland House when you created them. I fix these when I find them, but I'm hoping that with this heads-up you can catch these errors earlier in the process. --Stepheng3 (talk) 01:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
NYS NRHPsBy the way, i notice one remaining redlink in National Register of Historic Places listings in Allegany County, New York. And I added MPS document links for the cobblestone and PO ones in Orleans county, but haven't gone thru the others. If you notice an mpsub in the infobox for a new article, you might want to consult wp:MPS and consider adding an external link to the PDF which should be available. And, about restricted access sites in New York State alone, I have copies of many/most NRHP documents which used to be available in the OPRHP system, but are no longer. I'd be willing to share to you, or if you point me to any archeological site ones in those counties I could add some info directly.

We'll have to see once the system goes down by the end of the month, but I'd not be surprised if the links go bad. Admittedly, this won't make the information unverifiable — the online forms are copies of printed documents, after all — but it will likely mean plenty of work for us.

[unindent] Don't worry :-) I've not done as much as Ruhrfisch has, but I've always saved the URLs for each file, so that we can continue to cite the online documents even if they get taken down. I don't really know any good reason for doing this except for the basic requirements for WP:V. However, I don't believe that this is the only way to cite them properly; since the forms are always available on paper, if you're writing an article with one of these as a source, you could cite them as if you had a paper copy of the form instead of a digital copy. See Zimmerman Kame for an example of how I format a paper copy. Nyttend (talk) 01:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Shenks Ferry and Monongahela peoplesWhen creating all those articles on MD NRHP sites, did you encounter many archaeological sites that turned out to be villages of the Monongahela or Shenks Ferry peoples? I've been creating articles lately on Pennsylvania archaeological sites (complete with {{Monongahela villages in Pennsylvania}}), and I'm soon to start on some sites from the Shenks Ferry people, so I'd be interested in seeing if there are already articles on other villages of this people.

NRHPHi, are you planning on creating more articles from National Register of Historic Places listings in Scott County, Iowa? If so, I'd be glad to help you. A PR I'm doing suggested getting more of the articles on the NRHP of Scott County created before submitting my PR for FL/GA. CTJF83 chat 18:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
orphan tags on NRHP articlesSorry about taking an age to get back to you regarding the tags on Bridgewater Railroad Station and Holland Patent Railroad Station. I've had a look and managed to deorphan the Holland Patent Railroad Station article, but can't find a required third link for Bridgewater Railroad Station. However I imagine at some point an article for Unadilla Valley Railway will be created with a link to Bridgewater Railroad Station at which point the orphan tag can come off as it only needs a link from one more article in order to no longer qualify as an orphan. Miyagawa (talk) 16:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC) National Register of Historic Places listings in Madison County, New YorkI like what you've been doing developing starter articles for NRHPs among National Register of Historic Places listings in Madison County, New York. As you've seen, i've started some stubs there, too. Actually i think i may be able to add pics sometime for some of them, but I am mostly trying to be helpful in getting them started, and I hope you will further develop the ones i have touched. Often i am pretty low-energy in my stubbing; it would be great if you'd apply your writing skill to describe better the significance of each property as you do so well elsewhere. I do see it is a lot of work! Cheers, --doncram (talk) 23:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Federal Hill HD in BaltimoreHey, i was creating/revising Federal Hill Historic District dab page and notice that Federal Hill Historic District (Baltimore, Maryland) is currently a red-link. I notice also that there is Federal Hill, Baltimore neighborhood article. Possibly the red-link should redirect to the neighborhood article or possibly it's worth a separate article. The neighborhood article does not mention the HD prominently though there is an infobox there. If to be combined, i think the full HD name should show in the lede, in bold. I dunno how much overlap there is. Could you possibly address one way or the other? Cheers, --doncram (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
stubbing announcementsI am trying out mentioning what county/city lists where NRHP editors are working on creating good stub NRHP articles for, by mention in To Do list at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/to do. I am currently willing/happy to mention working on National Register of Historic Places listings in New Haven, Connecticut, as it seems a couple others are contributing and/or watching, and I would welcome additional participation. I also was plugging along in the Albany County, New York list, but there is no one else active there, so I don't want to promote it more widely. The to-do box displays at top right of wt:NRHP now. If you would likewise welcome others' involvement for wherever you are working (National Register of Historic Places listings in Elk County, Pennsylvania?), please do make mention in that list. I would help out some, myself, wherever there's an open invitation. :) Thanks for your persisting with good-stubbing out all of National Register of Historic Places listings in Suffolk County, New York!

MoCo picturesHello Pubdog, No problem and anytime!

I proposed a merge, though I don't think I'm going to get any outside opinions since no one really works on the Cemetery article (the last edit was in 2009). What would you think of a merge?

Courcelles (talk) 23:19, 15 June 2010 (UTC) This weekendI am going up to Buffalo with my son from Friday to Monday for a family (well, friend of a family) event and, of course, bringing my camera. Since you've got the NRHP lists in Erie and Niagara counties all covered, I won't be doing that (I think instead I may concentrate on road pics, particularly the view from NY 429 up around Schimschack's in Pekin, the view referred to in the article intro. But, I was also thinking, an opportunity presents itself. I'd like to go up into Orleans County and not only get a contemporary pic of the Cobblestone Historic District for the NY NHL list, I think I could probably get pics of all the listings as well, since so many are concentrated in Albion and Medina. And then maybe finish off the Genesee County listings on the way back (I'll probably go up there via Syracuse, and return via I-390). If I do complete the images for those two lists, I'll get them up right away and it is possible we can not only get them to fully-illustrated status but maybe FL as well, if you'd like to help (granted, stubbing out the articles as you did recently will make that a lot easier). Are you going to be in Buffalo? If so, we might be able to get together (It looks from the other stuff here like you'll be in the DC area, though). Let me know.

Wikimedia CommonsHey, Pubdog. I noticed that you upload your public domain images to Wikipedia, but it would benefit the project as a whole if you instead uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons. By uploading them to Commons, projects in other languages (and other projects like Wikibooks, Wikinews, and Wikiversity) can use your photos, which they can't if they stay here on Wikipedia. Would you consider uploading your images in the future to Commons? Thanks!

owner concernsHey, there's an owner or representative for the owner of an NRHP-listed house trying to remove info from its Wikipedia article, and to remove mention of the article from a dab page, and perhaps more. Edit summaries mention that the owner was not aware, did not give permission for Wikipedia article. Of course they don't have any legal basis to complain, and owners' permission is not needed or sought, and all the info is a matter of public record. But, i have some sympathy for their perception of invasion of privacy, and I see no reason why we shouldn't just help them. One concession which could be made would be to see to the complete deletion of the photo of the house, which you took and uploaded. Of course for that it is within U.S. freedom of panorama, and legally it does not have to be removed. But, it does include 2 vehicles in the photo which could seem unnecessarily revealing about the place / about the owner / whatever. Could you possibly please just request deletion of the photo? I think it is in Wikipedia and not yet in Commons, but i didn't check that for sure. I think, while mildly regrettable, it is not a great loss to lose that one illustration. I also offered in my edit summaries to be receptive, further, to the owner, if the owner or representative would contact me by email (from my Talk page) or by otherwise posting. Perhaps communication by email would be best, if the owner sees this, to keep the matter more private. --doncram (talk) 15:53, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Cattaraugus County pics, and a possibilityCongratulations on getting the Cattaraugus County list fully illustrated (belatedly). As you can see it jibes nicely with the now fully-illustrated Orleans County list, which I have begun taking the steps to prepare for a peer review and eventual FLC. One suggestion, though. Instead of my own pic for the Albion post office, I used one taken by a Flickr user who, months ago at my request, had changed the licensing on his images to allow us to use them, because it was in better conditions (see my pics for Albion's historic districts and you'll understand that it was raining at the time, so I much preferred the blue sky he got). He's taken a very nice picture of the Little Valley post office ... maybe we could use that instead? Daniel Case (talk) 13:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Genesee CountyYou're welcome! Since I haven't finished writing the articles, I will not be improving the list page (as I have tried to do with the Orleans County list) until I do ... not just the places I visited and photographed, but I will also upgrade the Batavia articles (Thanks a bunch for the huge favor you did by getting all of them ... it saved me an hour!) I think I will probably use my pics of (at least) the Le Roy post office, the steamshovel and the Machpelah Cemetery (I got the mausoleum at a more direct angle, with the road leading up to it). I see you were out earlier in the morning, so you have the light coming in at a sharper angle (Actually, I may use both photos of the post office as it's difficult for just one to show all its features due to the trees). At Stafford, I used a similar picture to yours of the old town hall building (not the new one, that's a modern brick one a short distance up 237), since mine didn't have the sun splotched all over it. But, I kept your other ones ... the light was better for the old IOOF building across the street. If you pass through that junction again you might want to see if you can get the brick house and the church's parish hall ... then we'd have pics of all the buildings in the district. Plus the hotel marker in the park on the northeast corner. I moved your pics to Commons and created a category there ... one of my long-term goals with all our HD articles is to put pictures of every contributing resource in the commons cat, even though we won't be using them in the article (See what UpstateNYer did for Clinton Avenue Historic District, for instance). It's in keeping with the goal of Commons to make it a free media repository for every possible use, not just Wikimedia projects (so any pictures you didn't put there, I'll move to Commons as well). And speaking of post offices, now that I finished uploading pics and expanding the Spring Valley and Pearl River post offices, thereby finishing all five in Rockland County, I'm wondering if we might not have enough of the 257 in that MPS to create a separate list article for it. I'm not saying we should do this tomorrow ... I think a separate list would be justified only if we have at least a third of the total (including all the New York City ones, which we have dented less than upstate). But I do have about a dozen or so more in my pipeline, and if we could get an accurate count of how many of these we have actual pics of then we could decide what to do next.

Long Island NRHP locationsHey, you're welcome. I knew I had to move a lot of the post offices to specific categories, but I didn't expect to create any. Regarding the Saint James District, while it says it's only located on NY 25A, at least two of the sites mentioned (St. James LIRR station, and the General Store), are located off of Route 25A. I tried to go to the NRHP site, but it didn't give me any details on other streets within the district. You're not going to believe this, but when I took those pictures of St. James station, I walked all the way from that station to Smithtown Station! I couldn't get a bus, or a cab, or even hitchhike! ----DanTD (talk) 23:10, 7 October 2010 (UTC) Oatka CreekYou're welcome! It was a natural for the article as it shows the only impoundment on the whole creek. If you're interested in getting more Oatka-related pics, I'd love to have a Wyoming Valley pic, like looking north from the Warsaw area, probably from US 20A just east of the village at the crest of the hill where you can see north. There's some waterfalls on the creek south of Warsaw, maybe near Rock Glen, that would work as well (I don't think the woman who took that picture will be amenable to changing the licensing, alas).

Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2010 (UTC) In BuffaloYou might want to get pictures of some properties in the city for which SHPO will be considering sending on to the NPS at its meeting next month: Buffalo Seminary (we should have a pic in any event), The 20th Century Club at 595 Delaware Avenue, and the University Park Historic District (complicated description; seems to me your best bet would be those first two blocks of Niagara Falls Boulevard with the cobblestones. In good light. It's OK if you can't get up there to Orleans County. If you go through Genesee County on your trip back to the DC area (we always did, but we lived north of the city so cutting down 219 didn't make as much sense ... YMMV, so to speak), maybe you could go through Le Roy again and see about maybe more shots at Machpelah Cemetery, like that other mausoleum near the front, and perhaps some of the distinctive monuments mentioned. Also, in that direction, Caledonia Fish Hatchery will probably also be nominated to the Register. I suspect the state ultimately wants to get it to NHL status, as it's the first fish hatchery not just in the country but the entire Western Hemisphere. There are some pics in the nom that you could probably emulate (most of the buildings are original, and there's a plaque to Seth Green). It's easy to get to, on Route 36 north of the village of Caledonia just south of the Monroe County line. Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

WestchesterI noticed u at work in Westchester now, because i was working on some Ralph Adams Cram architect stuff, and saw your nice new article on Rehoboth (Chappaqua, New York). I'd be grateful if u could consider Westchester /draft articles now at /drafts. The output is improved, though still lacking coordinates and not yet using the NRIS 2010 data. Among other changes, the batch-generator program now treats "No style listed" and "Other" architecture styles better in most cases (at least when there are not additional architectural styles given). Categories working better. I'd appreciate if u noticed any further basic categories improvements that would be helpful, i.e. any cases where Elkman's output gives something more useful.

--Kumioko (talk) 20:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC) Hi Pubdog, It looks like we both share an interest in historic Post Offices. I'm not sure it makes sense to create a double-category structure for most states as we group these. For instance, Arizona now has general post office category with a sub-cat for those listed on the NRHP. This makes sense conceptually as there are mabye 500 post office in Arizona and a subset of 20 are on the National Register. But, in practice all of the current articles in WikiPedia are about the NRHP post offices. I would favor only creating the post offices by state category if there are non-NHRP articles, like with New York. Just a suggestion.

My view may be skewed from Delaware though because most of my state's categories are small. There is an exception to the small category if the overall structure is agreed upon so I posted a notice on the WikiProject page to solicit feedback and establish a consensus. Please feel free to contribute to that conversation. Thanks. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC) road categoriesI notice you have removed state NHRP categories from various articles, such as National Road and Natchez Trace. What is your justification here? When a state road NHRP category does not exist, it can be created; or the article is simply left at the state NHRP level. The article is not simply left with no connection to the state which the road passes through. The same would be true of any and all NRHP articles if you are making similar changes elsewhere.

Number format for height of a house in storiesYesterday I changed the number format in a few dozen articles, and, since you created most of them, I thought I would get your opinion before I did hundreds more. Borderside is a good example . I changed "It was a two and one-half story, with three story tower, Italianate style brick structure" to "It was a 2+1⁄2-story, with 3-story tower, Italianate style brick structure". The compound modifier with a number and "story" calls for a hyphen ("-story"), and the use of numerals fits better with WP:ORDINAL, which says "single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words" (but not fractional numbers) and "Simple fractions are normally spelled out; use the fraction form ... if they are mixed with whole numerals". Also, to go along with "Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all figures", I changed "three story" to "3-story". I think it is easier to read "2+1⁄2" as a numeral, and makes it easier to see that "2+1⁄2-story" modifies "structure". Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?

Go ahead anytime, with my picsGosh, yes. I changed this one. Yours is clearly much better. Please feel free to go ahead and change out pics anytime if you think yours are better or more current.

Daniel Case (talk) 04:24, 3 October 2011 (UTC) NRHP stubsHey, Pubdog. I see you create a large number of stubs for WP:NRHP (I usually go through and assess all the new articles in the project) but I don't know if you get too involved with the nuances of the project and/or certain people involved, but if you have even glanced at the project talk page or other discussion pages, you're sure to have come across a bit of negativity towards creating stubs in the project. Many times, this negativity (sometimes outright anger, and I admit, many times from myself) is pointed specifically at a certain user who I will refrain from naming but about whom you probably know I am speaking. I would just like to point out the fact that I have never seen any of that negativity directed towards you or the stubs you create, and I think that is very honourable. I would just like to congratulate you for being able to churn out a massive amount of stubs with scant–though pertinent–information on them and still avoid the hurrah that frequently arises in the project. I can only wish that unnamed user would take a page from your playbook. Job well done, sir (or madam?). Job well done :).--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 22:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Doug's pictures were very effective for Ossining (I think I may use yet more) as he got a lot of the important properties in the district and got them close up enough that they could be identified and they were well-lit. I have sometimes put my own pics in the lead (see Congregation B'nai Israel Synagogue for one) over Doug's, if they were better (I've met him in person, and he just takes photos, he's not on the lookout for the best possible pic the way I am) but here there's no need. (also see, from the same county, District 10 School ... I couldn't have taken a better pic if I tried). Daniel Case (talk) 03:17, 22 June 2011 (UTC) NRHP infobox generatorIt's been privatized.

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject MarylandIt was recently suggested that WikiProject Maryland might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States.

I'm sorry that I didn't finish resolving the Wellsburg issue (I was in Kentucky at that time, so my mind was elsewhere occupied), but I'd like to help resolve it before I go. Could you produce a small map of what you believe the houses to be? A simple line drawing in the .png format showing the street and the houses with their names and addresses will work, as would an ASCII artwork showing the same thing. When you've created the map, please put it in my sandbox (if you do ASCII, please delete everything that's in there right now for the sake of simplicity) and leave a note at my talk page.

I do have a question about some of the historic district articles, though. Is there a particular reason why Lemont Historic District, say, is separate from Lemont, Pennsylvania? It seems to me that once the article is expanded, there won't be much about the history of Lemont that isn't covered by the historic district. I can understand the separation for larger municipalities, but other than the difficulty of fusing the infoboxes, is there any particular rationale to separate them for small towns of that sort?

Maryland NRHP sources and referencingHi Pubdog. Could you possibly please add to the Maryland section within wp:NRHPhelp, about how to find the Maryland summaries that you used in so many articles, and provide an example reference perhaps. And comment about how to use or reference the search system that Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties now offers (linked from the NRHPhelp). I was able to run the search but had trouble just now, trying to figure out how to link to anything, when doing some research relating to the Washington Monument in Boonsboro. See Talk:Architects of the National Park Service#removed items for where i am trying a reference to the NRHP document for it. If i can't link to the document though (as I think i cannot, i can only search for it and see it, but there is no permanent link i think), then how should I create a reference to put into the article? I bet there might have been info at the wp:NRHPhelp before about how to find your way to the Maryland summaries, but if so it oughta be restored. Could you help, please?

More than the usual difficulty Check http://www.mht.maryland.gov/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=690&COUNTY=Cecil&FROM=NRCountyList.aspx?COUNTY=Cecil and you'll see that this is the real Kirk house. Check my pic at Commons for more details. Earlier I had taken a pic of a Gothic Revival House near the site, and a WLMer just did the same a few days ago. This is about 3 blocks south of the Old Brick Meetinghouse, where I think you got the pic, so you might have run into this yourself. In any case, I think it is resolved now.  No real complaint aboutRose Hill: sometimes you just can't get a pic! My question is: there is a pretty informative state historical sign on the other side of the driveway. It also makes the point loud and clear that the site is not open to the public. In Pennsylvania (due to Ruhrfisch's OTRS) and probably in Delaware (text is read into the State legislative minutes) photos of historical signs can be uploaded. Does it work similarly in MD?

File:Green Spring Valley Historic District Church Dec 09.JPGHi Pubdog - this photo is an error. It is in a historic valley, but it itself is not a historic place. It was a Methodist church which has now been -- and has been for years -- a private residence, whose owner is not bound by any laws regarding historical properties, since this is not one. Thus we are, at his request, removing photos of his home, which is private. Thanks very much. Joannafbb (talk) 00:21, 3 October 2013 (UTC)Joannafbb
Good to know. The problem is, this image is on sites that are labeled Green Spring Valley as though this building is somehow iconic of the valley itself, when it is not at all -- it is not registered historically, while there are others there that are. The owner battles trespassers constantly, because of this photo, and most trespassers cite Wikipedia as their source of information. If there is a way to remove this photo from Wikipedia as well as Wikimedia commons, it would be hugely appreciated. I have tried to do it myself and failed. Can you help?Joannafbb (talk) 12:01, 3 October 2013 (UTC) Also, since the train station is the structure listed in one of the descriptions, maybe that would be an more appropriate image to use?

Amazing work on Virginia NRHPThank you for the amazing work you did adding Virginia NRHP content. Is it your goal to get all of them?--Mojo Hand (talk) 04:31, 24 February 2014 (UTC) Hi Pubdog. Isaac Perry is on my watchlist and an anonymous editor added the Walton Armory. I looked into it and the website concurred with the information added and the date in the Walton Armory/ Grange article, but the addresses were different. I was a little confused. Then I looked at the photographs and the one on the article does indeed look like a grange, with the armory castle like turret in the background. These seem to me to be two different buildings? What do you make of it?

Midfield PlantationHi! This is just to let you know that after not seeing any response from you to Moonriddengirl's comments at Talk:Midfield Plantation, I've gone ahead and blanked the article and listed it at WP:CP for processing. This clumsily written note replaces the invasive template that normally gets left in such cases. I'm aware that you are a productive and valued editor, but in view of the surprising number of occurrences of the word "copyright" on this page, and in particular of the comments immediately above this, I believe that it may be time for you to review your understanding of copyright matters and our policies on them.

A NRHP in Wittman? Who'da thunk?I was "born & raised" in Wittman, living there from 1962 to mid-1980. My father's family owned the huge Tarbutton farm on Pot Pie Rd. I suspect Sewell Point Road was named after my family. My mother's family, the Howeth clan, owned & operated a hardware store on Rt. 33 for years; I'm told, though, that it has been closed down by the people to whom my grandfather sold it. Howeth Rd. is where they lived for ages.  The article Dellwood, New York has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Have you decided where to go next? Among states east of the Mississippi, Kentucky's one of the worst states as far as article percentage, most of its current articles are NRIS-only stubs, and pretty much everything non-archaeological (even new listings) is online, either through Focus or the Kentucky Heritage Council. Your articles are also guaranteed to have plenty of images; a slight majority is illustrated, and once I finish the not-yet-started uploads from my most recent trip, every county but one will have at least one photo.

Cambria, Huntingdon & Westmoreland CountyThanks. I should have scheduled another day for that trip, lots of stuff in Huntingdon. I got wet in a creek (but the camera didn't), and I probably need a canoe for good canal pics. Probably off to WV next. --Generic1139 (talk) 16:45, 9 September 2014 (UTC) Noble SchoolYes, destruction does make it hard to find :-) However, I knew that it was gone before I visited; I've had enough incidents of photographing the wrong spot (I did it on this trip, photographing the building next door to the Colonial Theatre in Harrisburg) that I will generally download the nomination and check it with Google Satellite before going. Part of the issue is that it's in Juniata, historically a separate community — as a result, it's got its own street system, so 209 12th Avenue, Juniata is more than a mile away from where 209 12th Avenue non-Juniata would be, if it existed (it doesn't; the location would be in the rail yards), and I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't looked beforehand. Nyttend (talk) 21:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC) Illustrations for PA municipalitiesIf you have time, I'd appreciate your help with a project that I've just created at User:Nyttend/Pennsylvania, with a goal of illustrating every Pennsylvania municipality. I'm not asking for photo-taking assistance (although of course it's certainly welcome) but for article-checking; if you want to help, just check articles to see whether they already have photos, and for bonus points, find already-onwiki photos for unillustrated municipalities. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 03:51, 13 November 2014 (UTC) stub tagts for NRHPsPlease note that several US states now have separate county NRHP stub tags - generally with names like {{FranklinCountyNC-NRHP-stub}} - where the first component is first the name of the county (one word, in CamelCase - e.g "NewHanover"), followed by the word "County" and then the standard 2-letter state abbreviation (the ANSI column in List of U.S. state abbreviations#Table). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 19:47, 22 November 2014 (UTC) December 2014 WNY NRHP nomsOnly one on this quarter's list that's actually in the Buffalo area: Broadway Historic District, not in the city but basically all of Route 20 through the village of Lancaster.

Rollbacker I have granted rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it.

Please seeWikipedia talk:WikiProject Pennsylvania#Photographing every municipality Smallbones(smalltalk) 02:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC) IndianaThanks for starting on Indiana! I've left some comments at WT:NRHP. In addition to those, let me ask: could you start citing page numbers? It's easier for everyone if you specify the page number where you got the information; for example, before fixing this typo, I looked through the nomination to find what it said (I wouldn't want to "fix" it if M/E/Hutton had been correct), and it would have been a bit easier if you'd specified page 7 for that part of the article. You don't need to create a separate citation for every page; you can just append the {{rp}} template to a citation, as I've done when citing the nomination (citation #3) in Illinois Central Railroad Freight Depot (Bloomington, Indiana). Nyttend (talk) 00:38, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Abel (talk) 02:09, 12 November 2015 (UTC) NRHP articles on Philly schoolsThank you so much for starting the articles on Philadelphia historic school buildings! I've expanded several of them by adding more info focusing on the whole school and not only the building. Of course the architecture gives the notability and there should be info on that, but also having stuff on the catchment area (what neighborhoods are zoned to the school), the school's history and culture, the student body, etc. is important too. Hopefully such articles encourage students to become Wikipedians themselves once they reach high school age! WhisperToMe (talk) 18:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC) @Smallbones: I found a roadblock. According to this story George Washington School the institution was closed, but Abigail Vare School then moved into the old Washington, while the old Vare was closed. Now the school is called "Vare-Washington". I'm thinking of renaming "Abigail Vare School" to "Vare Washington School", and then describing both NRHP buildings (old and new) in that article. Then the article on the old George Washington only described its former NRHP building. What do you think? WhisperToMe (talk) 01:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC) A beer for you!

I happened to see this page (came there from here), and noticed that a good deal of the description has been copied with minimal changes from the NRHP form. If that content is in the public domain (and I'm not sure that it is, see the Copyright issues section above, between the two sections titled Midfield Plantation), then you are expected to provide attribution; that's easily done with {{PD-notice}} – could you kindly do that for this and all other articles where you have incorporated PD content? If it's not PD then the copied content needs to be removed, and can then be rewritten in your own words. In general, if the copyright status is not clear, it's best to err on the side of caution.

Had I known, I might have been able to expand your article with an alternate name for the district. I don't think River Arts District and Riverside Industrial Historic District refer to the same thing. I want to find a way to link the two articles together, maybe by saying one is part of the other in both articles. My article was based primarily on Wilma Dykeman RiverWay Plan, which had a lot of irrelevant information that could be used in the other article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC) Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC) Nolands Ferry I Archeological Site-I've added info on the ferry historyI've added information about the history of the ferry that Washington/Jefferson used and wrote about. Is there a way that the title "Nolands Ferry I Archeological Site" can be changed a bit to widen it? How about "Nolands Ferry & Archeological Site"? I have proposed a separate "Noland's Ferry" but that didn't fly. Thanks in advance.

I need someone to look at User:Vchimpanzee/Pilot Life Insurance Company Home Office and make sure it is ready for article space, and add the necessary information to the infobox which I don't know how to find. Thanks.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC) Ruffin-Snipes HouseThis article appeared in yesterday's News and Observer. It appears to be the oldest house in Orange County, North Carolina but it's not on the NRHP list. It's not the Ruffin-Roulhac House because it was owned by the father of the owner of the Ruffin-Snipes House.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC) Dec 28: WikiWed Salon (+ Wikipedia Day on Jan 15)

I find that you are the source of the photos. If there any possibility that you could edit the photos as the ones posted are not the most attractive. I have much better photos which show the front facade which is what people want to see. Ghandihasselberg (talk) 17:56, 18 January 2023 (UTC) Feb 15: WikiWednesday Salon in Brooklyn
