I seen you put in a NRHP info box on a new article I recently wrote of Southern Railway's Spencer Shops. Great improvement that I would like to use on future articles. I am researching for a new article on the Ramsdell Theatre in Manistee, Michigan. On the building there is a Historical Marker that says Thomas Jefferson Ramsdell—pioneer lawyer, state legislator and civic leader—built this theatre between 1902 and 1903. At the end of the Marker it says The Ramsdell Theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic places in 1972. Erected 1980. Marker Number L0124. However I can not find it on the NRHP database to use as a reference. Do you have an answer for this. Perhaps all places are not listed. The Chicago architect and builder was Solon Spencer Beman. If you have an idea, you can put it here as I will temporarly watch your Talk Page. -- Doug talk 11:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, found it! Now I can continue with writting up my new article on the Ramsdell Theatre. I plan on taking a picture of it sometime this week so I can add to the article. James Earl Jones started his career there, so will be using this as a hook for DYK. -- Doug talk 16:37, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you want all 200 of your sandboxes deleted? It's not a problem, but if you do let me know, and it'll save you the trouble of having to tag them individually. — Tivedshambo ( t/ c) 17:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
YES! -- thank you. Plus the page "User:Douglas Coldwell/Sandboxes" that lists all the sandboxes by names. -- Douglas Coldwell ( talk) 17:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

New England Quarter | Did you know that a planning application for a 42-storey building in the recent New England Quarter development in Brighton, England, was rejected on twenty separate counts, including the negative effect it would have on the local microclimate? |

Why is it that some people are very inspired (i.e. Da Vince, Einstein, Edison), while most of the world seems mostly uninspired? A formal education does not seem a basis to get these "inspirations". Many very famous successful people did not have a formal education. Likewise many with Degrees now-a-days have trouble with what I call the "basics" (i.e. using common sense to solve simple problems). Having a 4 year College Degree today doesn't mean all that much. Those with a High School education and those with a College Degree both basically start many jobs at "entry level". The one that can use common sense to come up with great "ideas" then seems to get ahead faster (which could just as easily be the High School "Grad"). So is there some sort of "Universal Source" out there someplace that has a stock pile of Ideas. How does one "connect" to this "Universal Source" of Ideas?
It's certainly not via cyberspace (however maybe it helps). Would I need some sort of super Cable Modem or can I just "dial up" Ideas? --

You should definately read Creativity In Science by D K Simonton - it answers all your questions and mentions the individuals above. One point for example is that it has been found that the chance of any scientific paper being a 'hit' is equal for any scientist, but the people regarded as geniuses were actually extremely prolific and hence had more 'hits' than other people.
Eistien worked at a patent office, thats where he got his ideas from. -- Delma1 07:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Many years ago, I was privaleged to study the 'history and philosophy of science' at university. It's a worthy question, regarding inspiration. However, a few observations: We live in the information age. Many people are trained academically than ever before. You might think that with more people better equipped to make discoveries that more people would. They do.
In the US, in 1970, some 1000 (different, distinct) books were published each day. 1970's space technology has been superceded. In 1980, my wife wore the net in her hair.
Worth noting, someone who is inspired may be wrong, too. Also worth noting that many discoveries are made simultaneously and independantly, suggesting a role modern technique has with inspiration, and tradition has in obfuscating and confounding discovery. DDB 10:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
