![]() | On 12 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article De Mores Packing Plant Ruins, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a pretender to the French throne built the De Mores Packing Plant in the Dakota Territory in 1883? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/De Mores Packing Plant Ruins. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Doncram at it again. Thank you. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC) Re: your last post there about mediation. No offense taken. I strive to be fair-minded, but I certainly do have my own feelings on this, and I don't think I'd be sufficiently detached to be a neutral party. I apologize for misrepresenting you—I would be the first to admit I have a very imperfect understanding of your motivations, and sometimes I overstep myself in theorizing about them. In addition, I don't think we agree on the *scope* of any kind of mediation, which would make it very hard to undertake. Unfortunately, I suspect further dispute resolution will be required, but I hope that it won't be on AN/I, which I think has not been helpful to either you or Sarek. Good luck, and thank you for your good faith and hard work improving the encyclopedia. Choess ( talk) 02:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
I can't remember if you were blocked when WP:NRHP's FAQ page was created, but it is now linked from the project main page (although it appears from this site that fewer people visit it than the Style guide or Resources page; not sure how to increase exposure). On the FAQ page, I and some others have included questions we find most frequently asked and included answers with pointers to the other help pages. One of the questions deals with the listing codes given by NRIS/Elkman's infobox generator. I tried explaining what several of these mean in layman's terms, but I believe you are more experienced and knowledgeable about the terms than I am. Could you possibly look into explaining these in detail there? Also, feel free to add any more questions you feel are asked pretty often. Thanks!-- Dudemanfellabra ( talk) 05:08, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I looked at this article, which is your most recent new article. It looks good. Infobox and citations solid. There's enough information to make it useful beyond what some call a "sub-stub." I also though Sarek's one edit was a helpful one. Cbl62 ( talk) 17:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
The source material refers to the wainscotting as "dark red," not purple. What is your reason for referring to it as purple? Also, what is the reason for the "photo caption" notation? Finally, not sure why you've included a snippet on the interior wainscotting but nothing on the exterior description, columns, dome, etc. I understand we make judgments about which elements to mention, but the limited focus on the wainscotting struck me in this case.

There seems to be overlap between the newly-created Henry Whitestone article and the Luckett and Farley#The Whitestone Period article. Not sure if you were aware of the latter before creating the former. The latter has a pretty detailed biographical summary on Whitestone -- more fully developed than the new article. Should the new article be a redirect with any additional information merged there? Take a look, and let me know what you think. Cbl62 ( talk) 21:20, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

None of the pics are mine, actually; they're all from the links on this site, which is run by someone else and is a very useful site for finding pictures of rural ND and MN. I've actually never even been to the state.

TheCatalyst31 Reaction• Creation 22:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Simple google searches turned up some basic information about six of the seven sites you mentioned. I've added some of that info to the stubs you created. These examples show that, even where the NRHP nomination form isn't available, enough information can often be found to create a decent starter article. If you could take just a few minutes to do these types of searches, it would avoid the issues that have caused so much consternation among many NRHP editors. The one site for which I could not find any further information was the Myers School Timbered Lodge (32BI401). Cbl62 ( talk) 05:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Your most recent North Dakota NRHP articles have some long-ish quotations from the NRHP nomination forms. Given the concerns expressed about "fair use" of excerpts from such sources (see Talk:C. Ferris White), it would be a prudent idea for you to shorten these quotes and try to put the key points into your own words where possible. I don't have time to rework them all, but you can take a look at what I did on Seiler Building as an example. Cbl62 ( talk) 05:52, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Robert and Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. JetBlast ( talk) 22:53, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
(from my talk page): I am glad you like the pictures. They have been on Flickr for over a year. I thought it was time they were moved for article use here, and before the picture drive next month; they might spare someone some time.

I started using that longer wording in edit summaries, as I recall, after there was some confusion about the simple comment. So I guess both approaches are problematic. And you are correct, the dates for buildings should be on the article, if it exists, or on a redirect, if that exists. Also the data can not be removed from all district articles since the text for some implies or clearly states that they were completed in a single year.

Hello it was suggested that i talk with you about the following question. i also have this question into the commons help page. while working on my article on Brow Monument [1] it was suggested that I contact the National Register people to see if they had the nomination papers for the monument. they finally got back to me with 23 pages of pdf documentation. This is all very interesting stuff that includes old photos and maps and the nomination information itself. However, I have been told that all of it is on an in-house server in Washington DC to which the public does not/can not have easy access. it took me over a week to get the files. Any suggestions as to how to handle this pile of information? I believe that my article includes most of the pertinent data (but i'll look over the pdfs to see if there is something missing) but I think the pdfs are extremely useful to anyone wanting to do serious research and somewhere in the wiki world i read that source information - or even cited information - should be easily obtainable by the reader which this may or may not be depending on the definition of easy. It is all department of Interior documentation so there should be no problem of it being in the public domain although someone will have to advise me a bit on that. thanks bill polk Abearfellow ( talk) 01:10, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Bridge III was refurbished, and the trusses at the side were removed. Here's is a picture of the bridge before the refurbishment. You can see how the pillar matches the one in my picture.
Also, the location matches the coordinates given on the NRHP page for Larimer County, and you can look at street view to confirm.

Could you please refrain from messing about in Wikipedia. Feel free to add info but do not move articles unnecessarily to names that are contrary to Wiki guidelines. Naming conventions say that the name of the article should be the name under which the person was commonly known, in this case "James C. Hopkins" as you yourself acknowledge. It is against the general guideline to move the article to "James Campbell Hopkins", and it is unhelpful, and causes unnecessary link-fixing to redirect "John C. Hopkins" to "John Hopkins". I will request this to be undone, and please, once again, in the future think twice about it, or consult me, before wasting my time again.

"What is going on?"
I gave you a custom uw-create3 for the creation of inappropriate pages already; you may consider this your uw-create4. Despite your extensive block for disruption, including inappropriate page creation, and despite many warnings, you continue creating pages that do not fit our inclusion standards. As you saw from the deletion log, these pages have nothing substantive; pages created simply to support another page without information that belongs to them have no substantive content. Meanwhile, redirects to the company article for other houses are inappropriate, because the company is not the house in question. Because you've asked, I've restored the page histories; they're at User:Doncram/sandbox extra; you may feel free to move them into mainspace once you've made them decent articles. Right now, the histories are all merged together, because separate pages would have taken too long, and I need to be at work in a few minutes. You may expect a history split later today, so that you can develop the articles separately; if I forget, feel free to bug me. Nyttend ( talk) 12:56, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

The other way that the Wikipedia grows is through the expansion of existing articles. I believe that it is better to give the readers some information than to give them a red link. At some future time if the Sparta article becomes so large that the historic district needs to be split off, then it can be with a nice blue link. Red links that help the Wikipedia grow are more usually used in places where the topic cannot be expanded, such as in list of Olympic event results, or in a town article where putting in the long bio of the founder would distort the article's focus. Here the topics are highly compatible. Does that help? -- Bejnar ( talk) 01:13, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
The link, I think you added, for the reference number links to an NRHP page with no information about this site. This seems to be a commonly used link for most NRHP articles and probably should not be used unless it actually can be corrected to point to something about the site it proports to be about.

Yeah, it's getting there. I have some more I need to add. Then it needs to rest. And then I need to reassess it for NPOV, because I have an opinion about it - it's more important that I give it a few days. Then it needs to be edited, and re-edited, I'll take care of the clunky prose, there are a couple other areas besides the one you pointed out that need cleaned up, imo.

At Wikipedia:Meetup/Bloomington, IN, so I can't help you much right now. "The building now receives occasional use as the Huntington Grange" is all that this source gives. For most of its history, it was a Baptist church. Nyttend ( talk) 14:14, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I reverted your recent addition to the Old Oakland article, since the historic district you were describing is in a different part of Downtown Oakland (it's basically the pre-war 20th century core, while Old Oakland is the 19th century core). I'm not sure where the best place to put it is, though. Nogood ( talk) 01:48, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
The nom for the Randolph Hotel [2] mentions the three-story Youngerman Block next door to the north. I suspect there may have been other incarnations of the Youngerman Block: it appears that the existing Youngerman structure may be a remnant of a larger building that was mostly torn down for the Randolph. The Randolph was to be expanded to the north to the alley eventually, but that was never done. We'll need the Youngerman nom to be sure, but this would explain why the contradictory information exists. I'd pare the article back to what we know and see if we can get the nom.

Why do you insist on restoring images in violation of page layout standards? You say that it's difficult to communicate with me — when you add content that's plainly at variance with our standards, why do you expect me to attempt to reason with you? I have informed you that this content is not acceptable per our standards; there is no room for discussion unless you want to get the standards changed. Since you've been stalking me, you might have noticed that I've not added my own photos to many of these articles; I've changed the photos on some because my photos are superior, and I've left the previous photos in place with some (e.g. Leatherwood Station Covered Bridge) because my photos are definitely inferior.
