According to the article the community is located in Grant County, Wisconsin. I checked the GNIS and the Wisconsin DOT Grant County map and there is no mention of it. I checked the Wisconsin Hometown Locator and again no mention of this community. And nothing on Google. Is this some sort of hoax? Again many thanks-RFD (talk) 22:16, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

. Splitting NRHP countiesHey I see you just split out two counties from the ND NRHP list and one from TN earlier. It just so happens that I'm in the process of running NationalRegisterBot and have been doing so for about an hour, but now that you've split these out, I have to restart the bot since they will still be listed as redirects to the state list by the time the code gets to those counties since the code sees the links as they were when the page was loaded. The code relies on the client-side CSS class "mw-redirect" of the link rather than any server-side information, so it doesn't live update as the bot runs through the list. If you could hold off splitting out any more counties for the next few hours at least, that would be appreciated. Maybe this should be an incentive for me to update the bot code to avoid this next time haha. Thanks!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 21:55, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

You may be interested in User:RadioKAOS/Sandbox/Misc/CDPs, which I created to track the missing CDPs from the 1980 and 1990 censuses. Many editors appear content to pretend that this information doesn't exist or doesn't matter. I haven't had the time yet either to complete it with the offline sources I collected or to check the PDFs on the state labor department website to see if they contain the same information. The List of places in Alaska subpages contain numerous redlinks to these CDPs, but that list was an unsourced bot-generated data dump which doesn't spell out the types of entities, so we just continue to leave folks in the dark.

Fouette articlesHello! I'll take your word for it and leave the ressurected Harriet Dinerstein article alone. However you should be aware that Fouette's block arose not only from her being a sockpuppet of a banned user, but also from conflict related to her poor calls on notability and reliable sources. Her very bad calls at AfD and illogical opinions on sources are ultimately what led to us finding out she was actually User:carriearchdale. From here on out I'm only nominating her articles as G5 if I find they are stretching the rules on notablity or sources. Have a good evening.

This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Invitation to Women in Architecture & Women in Archaeology editathons

This was one of the articles that was deleted in July 2016 because it was created as a hoax-Many thanks-RFD (talk) 18:55, 13 October 2016 (UTC) Illinois/TexasHi-I started the North Glen Ellyn, Illinois and South Elmhurst, Illinois articles. The articles were originally deleted this summer because they were created as a hoax. I read the reasons why the articles were deleted and I was concerned that the unincorporated areas like South Elmhurst could be redirected into existing articles like Elmhurst, Illinois. This would caused confusion and inaccurate information. Wikipedia serves as a gazetter and sometimes, people may not realized this. Please take a look at the Conlen, Texas article; I had to correct the GNIS. The same person who created the hoaxes also worked on the Conlen, Texas article. Again-I take full responsibility for restarting the articles.

Can you do me a favour though and always add every entry you do to the main list here as well as the entries page, regardless if yet approved or not as that's the master list of all articles being done. It's just veyr time consuming for me to be judging the articles, trying to contribute myself and chasing up what people have done and filling it out for people each time. So if you can take care of that this would be a great help, there's some part filled out ones underneath so you just need to add country, article name and then you username.

In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created. Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work. Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best. If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR.

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted. Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review. It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

TheCatalyst31, thanks for creating National Register of Historic Places listings in Curry County, New Mexico! I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please see WP:CS and make necessary changes to all of the references. Add references to the places mentioned instead of table header as done currently. The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Devopam (talk) 06:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC) CommentHi-Rhonesboro, Texas needs an info box.

My first red flag was that the Cibola NRHP list disagreed with List of National Historic Landmarks in New Mexico, specifically Acoma (Pueblo) and, further down on the page on the second table, El Morro National Monument (that article also claims Cibola County). In addition to the discrepancies between the two Wikipedia list articles, the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division has lists of places on the national and state registers. The one sorted by county is found here. I have found the NM state list to occasionally locate a property in the wrong county, so I then consult the place's NRHP nomination form for coordinates. If I find coordinates, I plot them on a map of the state subdivided into counties and see where they fall. So far, besides those two examples, I've also found San Estevan del Rey Mission Church (located within Acoma Pueblo) and Village of Encinal Day School not previously on the Cibola list. I still need to verify Dittert Site, Laguna Pueblo, San Jose de la Laguna Mission Church, and San Mateo Archaeological Site. Granted, that's going to be hard to do with the two address-restricted archaeological sites. Fortguy (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
