Stanley plan
I'm proposing to create a separate article about the Gray Commission, that's now in my sandbox because the move was blocked. I don't think it's controversial, but wanted to give you a heads up because of your contributions to the Stanley plan article, which has the commission as a subsection of the background section. The redirect might be blocking the new article. Also, FYI I did a bunch of revisions to the Samuel W. Tucker article yesterday, and noticed that it was up for Good Article status six years ago, but failed (unlike the Stanley plan article 4 years ago) because no one did the requested revisions.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Okay, so here's a wish list. I've prioritized these, but I know you probably can't do a lot of these due to time constraints and stuff. Anyway, here they are:
C.M. Russell Museum - Main entrance and museum exterior shots; some interior shots if we can.
St. Peter's Mission Church and Cemetery - It's my top photo need, because we have nothing modern of it.
Great Falls High School - Most especially the fieldhouse (the main entrance, showing the name), the stadium (my photo is from 1988!), the old entrance, and some exterior shots.
Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art - Most especially interior, but also the 1st Avenue N. entrance.
Fort Shaw Historic District and Cemetery - We have nothing of this, historic or modern.
Great Falls Central Business Historic District - This is 2nd Avenue N., 1st Avenue N., Central Avenue, and 1st Avenue S. between the Civic Center and 8th Street N. Most especially, these buildings: Belmont Hotel (308-310 1st Ave. South), Bungalow Bakery (509 1st Ave. N.), Bus Depot (326 1st Ave. S.), Dubbs Block (815 1st Ave. North), Woolworth Building (500 Central Ave.), Great Falls Building and Loan Association (13 5th St. N.), Great Falls Gas (725 Central Ave.), Kress and Company (409-411 Central Avenue), Lee Forest Garage (119 1st Ave. N.), Lemon Boarding House (12 Sixth St. S.), Liberty Theatre (301 Central Ave.), Murphy Maclay Hardware Store (200 Central Ave.), Masonic Temple (821 Central Ave.), New Park Hotel (100 Central Ave.), Rainbow Hotel (20 3rd St. N.)
East Side Neighborhood Historic District - Central Ave. and 1st Ave. N. between 15th and 16th Sts.
Great Falls West Bank Historic District - 300 and 400 blocks of 3rd St. NW
Ursuline Academy - Need a better shot of the main entrance, and some of the interior.
Where is St. Peter's at? I can add the rest to my list and see what I can do, may be over time. The ones in-town will be easier, though if there is time for a drive-by of Holter Dam on the way, that might be doable. Did any of my earlier downtown GF shots encompass any of the downtown buildings you listed? (And did you see File:Ursuline Academy (2012) - Cascade County, Montana.png?) You probably saw that there is one other photographer besides you and me who has some GF shots in commons [1]. Montanabw(talk)19:43, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
St. Peter's: From I-15 (whether going north or south), take the exit to Cascade. The first cross-street from the off-ramp is the Simms-Cascade Road, also known as St. Peter's Mission Road. Go north (away from town) about seven miles. Take a left at the first fork in the road, down Mission Road. (If you see the Shaw Cutoff Road, you've taken the wrong road; go back and take the other one.) You'll now be traveling southwest. Go another seven miles. At the sixth mile, you'll cross what I think is Weasel Creek. After that, Mission Creek will be on your right. A half mile more, and you'll pass the intersection of Kologi Road/Keotchie Lane. You'll pass a big oil rig or something on your left, up on a hill. Just beyond that to your left is Bird Tail Rock, the massive rock formation that is so important to the area. After another third of a mile, you'll see a lot of trees on either side of the road. A big white church is up on the hill to your left; this is part of what remains of the Mission. There will be a quasi-intersection, where driveways lead to the right and left. Pull into the driveway/road on your left. Right away, you'll see remains of foundations of several buildings right by the road, a little back from the road, and through the trees. You can walk to the Mission chapel up the hill, but there is no trail. (There's a little cutoff road just before the intersection that leads to it, I think.) If you follow the driveway/road past the modern farmhouse, it'll take you to the cemetery. There's actually a little gate and sign (you can see images of it here). - Tim1965 (talk) 22:46, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
I did see the picture of Ursuline Academy! It's terrific. I wish we had one or two more, at a different time of day, and some of the inside (particularly the magnificent chapel and the nun's sitting room and the long, long hallways inside). - Tim1965 (talk) 22:50, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
Ah, those in the middle of nowhere are a bit more of a challenge. I will try to shoot Holter on my way up, but the weather is going to be crappy, so no guarantees on the quality of the photos. Montanabw(talk)21:24, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Something is better than the diddly-squat we have now for some of these articles. Had I made my trip to Great Falls in May 2015, you'd not be asking about photos that would be needed. LOL - Tim1965 (talk) 21:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Merry Christmas from me! Thanks for your company during 2016. We have seen the percentage of articles on women rise from 15.5% to 16.77%. 20% is within our grasp and that's an increase of nearly a third over what we first found. Victuallers (talk) 15:50, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
