This is a copy of the note included in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Historic_sites#Reassessing_Importance_of_Historic_Markers_Within_Wikipedia, which is also relevant to the article associated with this talk page. The original note is copied in its entirety below. Inoysterbay ( talk) 02:31, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
User talk:Doncram asked me to include a version of the note I included on his talk page. I'd urge you to refer to my original note on his talk page User_talk:Doncram#List_of_New_York_State_Historic_Markers and also consider what I write below.
I pose to fellow editors there is a major need to revisit how we go about incorporating material on historic markers into Wikipedia. Great strides have been made to make National Register and several local historic district listings available in Wikipedia. The same rationale for doing this, to educate the public and make these sites more widely known, also applies to historic markers.
Many state marker programs had their advent in the early 20th century with the development of easy interstate travel. The placement of markers helped to educate people as they drove from place to place, providing nice brief snippets of verfied material about different historic sites. Markers like this preceded many formal systems of listing including the National Register. Just like these early travellers plying America's interstates and highways, there is a similar need for people travelling the Internet and our Information Superhighway today. Namely, to provide a brief signpost for people to easily get to or access the information they desire.
Here are some specific reasons why developing historical marker information within Wikipedia is essential:
There is a precedent for state marker programs being posted to Wikipedia - see New Hampshire Historical Markers and List of historical highway markers in Hampshire County, West Virginia. For the later there is an archived discussion which encouraged to keep: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Hampshire County Historical Highway Markers.
To close, what I would argue is that instead of restricting further inquiry to historic markers because of a strict interpretation of notability, that a looser interpretation will open the door to exciting inquiry and expand the number of people with an interest in historic places and historic sites within Wikipedia.
What would encourage me is if we could devise a strategy for how to make all of the state historic marker programs available on Wikipedia within a fixed period of time (like the next year). Then committing to curating and developing these listing further so that eventually every marker has an article to go with it as well.

This article is tagged as a copyright violation but does not indicate what it is a copyright violation of. The url of the relevant web page needs to be added to the template at the top of the article. Without it, this copyvio discussion is moot and the tag should be removed.
