Hello, Thank you for your advice about the assessment in that project. I have been working on assessing articles for WikiProject Libraries and added ratings for some other projects at the same time. I am sorry if this is a problem in the case of historic sites and will leave these unassessed in future.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:31, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
This edit confused me โ I thought that it was automatically added when the template had "nrhp_type" of "cp" and its own reference number. Did it ever do that in the past? Talkback, please. Nyttend (talk) 02:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello
I saw that you added a big part from the List of National Monuments of Ireland. In september 2011 there'll be a Wiki loves monuments in several countries in Europe. Maybe you can take a look [1]. Also I would like to ask you if you might be able to check this edit from me. Is it correct?
Sorry for my English.

I generally ignore infoboxes (even in articles I write) and think they're generally unnecessary. But infoboxes have fans, for some reason, so I pick my battles. However, you replaced whatever the infobox in Kingsley Plantation was with this edit.
There appear to be errors in it. It's 60 acres, I think, not 50. The first plantation was built in 1765. Kingsley arrived in 1814. I don't know why 1817 is the year highlighted in the NRHP infobox. The governing body--and I'm not totally sure what that means--but it is managed by the National Park Service, not the State of Florida. The barn, slave quarters, and foundation of the kitchen and plantation houses are tabby; the plantation house and upper part of the kitchen is wood. Tabby is a material, not a style. Is there a particular reason the infobox reads as it does now? Did you use a specific source for this info? --Moni3 (talk) 03:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to list here some of the NRHP-side tasks I need done for some high school articles in Arizona...
Other schools that need NRHP infoboxes, etc.:
Special case:
There are a bunch of old AZ high school pictures in this document of old school enrollments. Not sure about copyright or quality, sadly... [2] But that may be helpful for some of the work being done.

I've been working on reorganizing and creating NRHP listings in NPS units, and in particular am tidying up NRHP properties in Grand Teton National Park in support of Mongo's work toward making the main article an FA. I'd like to do a template focusing on the park similar to the Template:NRHP in Teton County, Wyoming, but focusing only on the park and omitting the redundant NRHP bottom bar. Since that template is set up only for counties, I'm having trouble reformatting it - I have no template mojo beyond a certain point. Can you look at Template:NRHP in Grand Teton NP and advise on what (presumably nested) parameters need to be adjusted or created for it to work? See the list already generated: National Register of Historic Places listings in Grand Teton National Park. Since some places, like Yellowstone, span multiple counties and states, I thought I'd start with an easy one first - GRTE's all in one county, but the template will have to accommodate more complex arrangements. I've asked Nyttend for help as well. Acroterion (talk) 12:55, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I got bored and came with an updated version of the NRHP infobox (see User:Niagara/NRHP). It sorta of is what ideally I think should be in the new infobox, which include sorta looking like the current infobox, uses the meta Infobox template, works with the Designation template, and also works [theorectically] in place of the HSITES infobox for non-US designations. There still are probably a bunch of bugs and it isn't completely compatible with HSITES, but it's a start. Feel free to test or tweak it โโโโโโโโNiagara โโDon't give up the ship 00:42, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Could you please take a look at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Grand Forks County, North Dakota/drafts#New Hampshire Apartments and Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Grand Forks County, North Dakota/drafts#Grand Forks Riverside Neighborhood Historic District, and copy them to mainspace if you agree they are okay.
Also, FYI, WPA Stone Structures in Memorial Park and Calvary Cemetery is new; I created it from scratch (it is not in Elkman or my system as it is new). --doncram 23:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
In New Hampshire Apartments, i put "| builder = Dinnie Brothers" into the infobox, thinking it would display. I thot you added a builder field, or maybe it was only just discussed. Could you add it to the infobox code? --doncram 23:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Or I will get around to starting them, in a month or two or three. --doncram 20:02, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, the other day you assessed Franklin House (Athens, Georgia) as stub. It's had a fair amount of expansion since, and I was wondering if you'd mind taking another look? LadyofShalott 01:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for assessing my article! I would like to get the article up to GA status at least. Do you mind giving me some pointers on what I can do to improve the article and why it wasn't assessed higher? I used the current GA and FA articles on historic districts as guidelines and thought that I was pretty close to those. I have a peer review discussion started here if you would like to respond there. Thanks! PhantomPlugger (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Dudemanfellabra -- I noticed you removed a number of architect articles from wikiproject NRHP with edit summaries like "remove from wp:nrhp; architect of fewer than 10 buildings listed on the register". It seems like a pretty drastic and unfriendly step.
These include articles created by me and by others:
I checked the discussion from a few months ago about importance ratings for WikiProject NRHP, in which we shared differing views about the importance of architects, as I recalled no idea ever expressed that the architects should be disallowed from the wikiproject. Importance ratings don't matter much, IMO, although I expressed then that I think if someone wants to assert a given article is more important, we should let that stand. No one suggested then that architect articles should not be allowed. On these ones, I created most of them for the WikiProject, and they serve the wikiproject's need to clarify which are architects vs. builders, and they otherwise have merit.
I don't particularly want a big new discussion at wt:NRHP about WikiProject NRHP importance ratings or inclusion criteria, but I will participate if you want to open one. Given there is no consensus established against these being included, and barring some big new discussion, could you please agree not to take the pretty drastic step of removing these or similar articles from the WikiProject? --doncram 22:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
FYI I am going in behind you and adding images to many of the template you are adding to the Portland NRHP sites. Thanks again for all of your help! I look forward to watching these articles expand. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:49, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I acknowledge your request and understand your preference. Do notice from my recent contributions that I have gone back and added infoboxes to many of the stubs I created and marked many of them as low importance for both WikiProject Oregon and WikiProject NRHP. I tend to contribute systematically, but sometimes chunks of work get neglected. Please keep in mind that I am contributing to Wikipedia on my own terms as a volunteer and that I see my stub-creating as "planting seeds" for future expansion. I will try to remember to use Elkman's tool as I continue creating Oregon and Washington NRHP stubs, but additional notes on my talk page are not necessary (I do not mean this in a disrespectful manner; I acknowledged your request the first time and have not forgotten). :) I admire your work and hope that you continue contributing to Wikipedia. --Another Believer (Talk) 22:33, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
Please review my latest edit to Infobox NRHP; did it fulfill the request properly? As you know, my understanding of template coding is quite poor, so I fear that I did the wrong thing without realising it. Nyttend (talk) 03:28, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Concerning this, I still don't understand why the link in the infobox should go to a redirect page. The redirect page List of World Heritage Sites in danger is only there for wiki-historical reasons and should in fact eventually be deleted IMHO (since its name refers to a non-entity). bamse (talk) 22:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey no problem, I've gotten busy myself. I really appreciate it. It is really going to help unify the look of things.

Sorry for the confusion. I probably could have made it more clear. No doubt you saw that there are several sites associated with the fire in the TR that don't have any articles yet. I'm not sure how the include the TR in the article about the fire. (I just found the 'related' tag and tried to play around with it.) Einbierbitte (talk) 20:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
I propose to replace the image for the 'Governor Edwin B. Winans Informational Designation' entry in the article 'List of Michigan State Historic Sites in Livingston County, Michigan' with this photograph: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edwin_B.Winan%27s_historical_marker_Hamburg_Michigan.JPG
It seems better to me to have a picture of the historical marker than a portrait of the governor. Do you agree and therefore have no objection to the change? I believe you originally added the portrait of the governor and I have no interest in encroaching on someone else's contribution if they object.Dwight Burdette (talk) 16:34, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

While we're no strangers to many ways one can misuse the NRHP infobox, however this caught my attention in that it is a unique attempt and deals with an "NRHP elgible" building.

Hello. I saw that you had deleted my corrections on the wikipedia Soule' Steam Feed Works page and wanted me to contact you. I wish I had seen it earlier, but I usually check out what is written online about once a year. I did not realize you (or Wikipedia) might consider my changes COI. I know that you and I both want factual information in the encyclopedia. I sometimes find that The Meridian Star is not an accurate or factual source for information. It is an unfortunate situation that has been the case for most of my lifetime. Even my college professors cringed when I brought in a copy of my hometown newspaper to editing class.
There are two glaring errors in the article that should be fixed above all else. First, the City of Meridian has not been involved in Soule' preservation project or the live steam festival. The November event has always been hosted by the museum. The museum's board of directors and festival committee agreed to cooperate with hosting Railfest the same weekend as our event. Second, Jim McRae deeded the Soule' property to the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum, Inc. in October 2003.
Who am I? I have a bachelor's degree in communications and have worked in historic preservation for the past 29 years. The Soule' museum is one of my current projects. I also maintain the Soule' museum/festival website. I have access to the Soule' company records, George W. Soule's autobiography and other primary sources, so I will be willing to cite them as sources when changes are made in the future unless you still think my submissions are COI. Thank you.

I've expanded the article and broadened the references - I had to stop where I was due to real-life things like work. While in graduate school in the early 1980s I did an NRHP nom for the Winecoff as part of a class assignment . The owners at that time weren't interested in pursuing registration - I think the owners then were the Georgia Baptist Convention, who had just closed down the places as a retirement home. Somewhere in the attic I have my notes and report (not usable here) and clippings from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (eminently usable). I got free access to the building and roamed around taking pictures, which are also somewhere in the attic. Acroterion (talk) 19:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
This request isn't NRHP-related, so please ignore it if you find it too hard. Confusingly, {{United States presidential elections category}} puts articles into Category:United States presidential elections by date, but it doesn't add them to the elections-by-year categories: for example, Category:United States presidential election, 1892 is not part of Category:1892 elections in the United States. Could you please modify the template so that it will always add "Category:Elections in ___" to a category in which it's located? I don't know the coding necessary to get the template to change its behavior based on the title of the category where it's used. Nyttend (talk) 02:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Sorry for any confusion. I've been trying to rate the stubs in the talk page as I remember, but I'm using the National Register infobox/talk page generator which doesn't automatically rate the NRHP articles. Maybe Elkman can program it to do so. Swampyank (talk) 18:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dude, in a January 1, 2012 comment on my Talk page, you had inquired about my use of NRHP digital images taken from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History website. At that time, you wrote that you were in contact with a staffer at MDAH to find out if the images were useable. Did you ever receive a response from the MDAH staffer? I ask because User:Magog the Ogre has been going through my past postings of MDAH digital images and sending me File permission problem templates. I thought the MDAH permission statement that I had used was sufficient, but Ogre must not be convinced. Thanks. Woodlot (talk) 21:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
