Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
List of windmills in the United States. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I propose to merge List of windmills in Illinois, List of windmills in New York, and List of windmills in Rhode Island back into List of windmills in the United States. The split is not required by size. Note the U.S.-wide list has only 13,786 bytes, while a very old rule of thumb is that a split is justified by size if an article has grown over 100,000 (or was it 200,000?). When recombined, all locations in the U.S. having coordinates will show in just one linked OpenSourceMap map. This will serve readers better. (Note this came up in discussion at Talk:List of museum ships). --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 17:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
I've gone through this page, putting "Windmill" or "Mill" as first column title, and using proper noun names where available. Where a proper noun name is not available I put in just "Windmill" or an expression that is descriptive such as "Windmill at Robert M. Lamp Cottage". I mean not to appear to be coining new names in Wikipedia's voice; I mean for readers to be aware that "Windmill" is not the proper noun name of a local mill and I hope they will replace that with a more specific one.
And I have been putting location info such as "Minneapo State Park" (and I would put in a specific street address if available as those seem useful to me), and city or town names, and coordinates, all in one "Location" column. It is fairly easy to find exact coordinates for still-existing windmills in Google Satellite View, because windmills look pretty different than other objects. I obtained coordinates for many that way, and also I accepted (often without checking) coordinates from linked articles.
Did that in New York list also, and expect to do similar editing in Illinois, Rhode Island, Massachusetts' separate lists.
Am open to feedback, alternative suggestions.
And i posted similarly at List of windmills, but with question about proper noun names of mills in other nations being less widely available. --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 22:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Does an editor have the source cited for a property in Castine, Maine:
I am not sure if that windmill is the one at 12 Madockarondo Rd., which I just added as a separate item. And, does that source have more specifics, such as addresses, etc., to add to other windmill items in ME, NH, VT, CT, RI? --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 23:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
