Just a quick thanks for catching the necessary category changes and updates to the templates on the talk pages for the Roxborough State Park Archaeological District and Franktown Cave articles! Much appreciated especially for catching the category edits that were needed!!!-- CaroleHenson ( talk) 02:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm still deciding which station infobox I should work on next. I don't think I'm going to do any of New York City Subway stations(although I might consider some), and right now I'm leaning towards the Santa Fe Station in Fresno, California. When I started doing this after you went on this NRHP infobox tagging rampage, I thought I was going to finish Penn Station in Baltimore first, and instead I ended up finishing Penn Station in Newark first. There are some non-railroad station articles I've had my eyes on for infoboxes, but I'm not entirely sure they're actually listed on NRHP. ---- DanTD ( talk) 19:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject National Register of Historic Places for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Other editors will also have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. - Mabeenot ( talk) 05:02, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Ok, I'll bite, why high importance? -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:44, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for fixing. :) Some IP idiot deleted it a few months back, and both we (unfortunately) and the bots (fortunately) missed it. Until today. :) ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:19, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
I know I haven't really been helping lately with assessment (real life keeping me busy haha), but I just ran across a few NRHP listings in New Jersey that you assessed as mid-importance because they were on the NJRHP. I don't remember the exact location of the discussion, but I think consensus is that sites that are on the NJRHP shouldn't be mid-importance. In fact, all NRHP listings in New Jersey are also on the NJRHP, so that would mean the entire state of New Jersey would be mid-importance. I don't know if these pages were a misrepresentation, but I just wanted to let you know for future reference. I am by no means going to trace your steps backward, so don't worry too much about it haha. Just letting you know. Thanks!-- Dudemanfellabra ( talk) 20:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the infobox on the Santa Susana Depot article. I created the original article and although I've been done my fair share of editing on other articles, I'm not well versed in some of the more intricate stuff. Napa56 ( talk)
I'm never sure that my attempts at humor will succeed. Hopefully you took my comments on "sponge boat world champion photographer" as it was intended (that is, humorously) I've got a draft of Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest started. I'd love to see any comments about that page, just to make sure that it is easily understandable, and that the contest would be workable. Any more help appreciated. Smallbones ( talk) 02:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
"In order to encourage NRHP photographic road trips, a barnstar will be awarded for the two photos, taken by the same photographer during the contest period, that are the greatest distance apart. Please make sure you include the coordinates when uploading to Commons (use the {{Location|dd|mm|ss|N|dd|mm|ss|W}} template) and you can copy the coords from the county lists.
"To self-report your two most distant photos, just include both photos in a gallery below, and include the distance calculated from Google Maps."
It looks like both of you want to compete in this challenge rather than be the judge. So I'll list it myself (feel free to put your name in, in place of mine!) As far as the "taken and uploaded" restriction, I'm open to changing it if a consensus of editors agrees with you, but I'd hate to think somebody has gotten an unfair advantage by storing up photos to be uploaded later. Smallbones ( talk) 14:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
I saw you wikified the recent changes at John Forbes Nash, Jr.. Does this mean you agree with the substance of the changes? E.g. visionary links to "Defined broadly, a visionary, is one who can envision the future. For some groups this can involve the supernatural or drugs." I think this does not apply directly to Nash.
Second, the long citations are to long to my opinion (esp. in the lead).
Could you please have a critical look at all the changes?
Thank you very much, Sasha

Hey there Ebyabe. First, thanks for all your hard work on rating the NRHP- it's fun to see you slowly make your way through every single one of the 300+ articles I've written about NRHPs. Awesome. Second, I just noticed that in your signature you haven't closed the font tag, so everything after your sig takes on that gray tone you're using. Just a heads-up that you might wanna do that. • Freechild talk 20:25, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I certainly appreciate your maintenance work -- but could you please have AWB mark these as "minor". I had 242 of them turn up in my watch list today and no easy way to turn them off -- yes, they're all talk pages, but I watch some talk pages also. Thanks, . .

Were you out gathering photos on a road trip? Looking forward to seeing some of your stuff at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest! There are a couple of new photographers adding stuff, but the usual photographers seem to be missing. In any case, we need some real contenders for the Best Photo contest.

I see that you've reverted the article again. De Funiak Springs is a city, and it is north of Fernandina. I think it's misleading to assert that Fernandina is Florida's northernmost city. It seems clearer to describe it as the northernmost city on the east coast of Florida.
You are another partisan for spreading the tentacles of Jacksonville? I don't know anyone in Fernandina who describes themselves as living in "Greater Jacksonville". It reminds me of the local news outlets describing the TPC in Ponte Vedra as a Jacksonville event.;-) -- Carlstak ( talk) 00:08, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Are you sure the coordinates of Humes High School are correct? The high school is in Memphis but the map in your infobox shows it located at the other end of the state in North Carolina. 24.209.193.221 ( talk) 03:58, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, can you tell me what the functional difference between Category:Hotels established in 1927 and your newly created Category:Hotels completed in 1927?-- TM 19:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm adding the navigation template to these. You may want to consider adding this for any new categories. These make it easy to navigate to adjacent categories. BTW, thanks for helping out on this mess. Vegaswikian ( talk) 23:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
I notice there are a few years here that are populated just enough to be useful, but by and large, the intersection of "NRHP or otherwise listed buildings", "Masonic buildings", and "Buildings completed in a given year" is very, very small indeed. Most years will be empty, and I feel this diffuses the buildings category too much to be generally useful. Could you revert your changes? MSJapan ( talk) 02:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest closes in a few minutes. I was sorry not to see any of your photos there. In any case, you've got a few judging tasks to do over the next day or so. Thanks. Smallbones ( talk) 04:21, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
My concern here is with more then your creations in this area. Theatre is ambiguous in that in can be a building for plays or cinemas. Grouping them at the higher level name is a violation of the guide that says don't categorize articles by like names. I don't have a good solution, so continuing may be OK.

Hi. In Austin & Ally, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Glee ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
