Thanks for uploading File:Fort Dobbs Scale Model.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:17, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Just thought I would let you know that I removed both the {{ autobiography}} and {{ BLP sources}} tags from this article, as the subject is apparently deceased. -- Drm310 ( talk) 06:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for patrolling new pages. With attack pages, like a couple just now, it's probably best to tag them only with G10, even if other criteria like A7 also apply. That way (I believe) the system gives the attacker a more appropriate warning on the lines of {{ uw-attack}}. (I have blocked that attacker as he persisted).

Hi Clark, on 30 December I contributed a new Wikipedia article on the late Michael Croft, founder and director of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Within four minutes of my doing so you had slapped a "Multiple issues" – "footnotes", "refimprove" and "pov" – tag on it. As you know, this advises me either to "improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page." I therefore tried to explain the position and sought your advice there. That was over a week ago, so I thought it was time to bring it to your attention here as well! Peter Farey ( talk) 10:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to WP:NRHP. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or better yet ask at WT:NRHP.

Hope this helps. Smallbones( smalltalk) 19:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Hmm...Interesting. I'll keep looking, but haven't found anything on those properties yet regarding NRHP. Doesn't yet appear that they were on it and de-listed either. Only have found some mentions of local historic notice, not NRHP. Maybe they are currently in the nomination process possibly? Do the properties have names/titles of any kind that you know of? Might want to take to the project talk page as well. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah ( talk) 02:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Cdtew! I was just wondering if you had a few moments to review a DYK? nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/Martha B. Alexander I had posted the nomination a while back, but no one has reviewed it yet. Don't know if that means it just wasn't that interesting a factoid or what.

This is a note to let the main editors of Fort Dobbs (North Carolina) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 27, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 27, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Fort Dobbs was an 18th-century fort in the Yadkin–Pee Dee River Basin region of the Province of North Carolina, near what is now Statesville in Iredell County. Used for frontier defense during and after the French and Indian War, the fort was built to protect the British settlers of the western portion of what was then Rowan County from Cherokee, Catawba, Shawnee, Delaware and French raids into North Carolina. The fort's name honored Arthur Dobbs, the colonial Governor of North Carolina from 1754 to 1765. When in use, it was the only fort on the frontier between South Carolina and Virginia. On February 27, 1760, the fort was the site of an engagement between Cherokee warriors and provincial militia that ended in a victory for the militia. Fort Dobbs was abandoned after 1766, but archaeological work in the 20th century and historical research in 2005 and 2006 led to the discovery of the fort's exact location and probable appearance. The site on which the fort sat is now operated by North Carolina's Division of State Historic Sites and Properties as Fort Dobbs State Historic Site, and supporters of the site have developed plans for the fort's reconstruction.

When it is clear on a quick scan that a government built the fort I do place it in the government built category in addition to the infrastructure category. If you read the infrastructure article, which some editors disagree with, infrastructure is more then physical infrastructure which is what I believe a lot of editors limit infrastructure to. That article says, In military parlance, the term refers to the buildings and permanent installations necessary for the support, redeployment, and operation of military forces. This pretty much covers forts. I would not have a problem with something like Category:Military structures completed in yyyy if there are a sufficient number of military structures completed in individual years. From going through many of these by year categories, I'm not sure that is the case. There are probably more articles post 16th century on armories then forts. There are also some others around like arsenals. This lack of articles could well be due to many buildings not be listed in any year category. Sub categorizing those has been a big task. But when you look, there are huge numbers of building not classified in that tree, even when the build date is known. One other consideration. Modern military facilities tend to be opened in some year and are then expanded over time. So for many of these something like Category:Military structures opened in yyyy could be a better choice. If Category:Military structures completed in yyyy is also kept, that would probably be the parent category. As a side note, some editors prefer that buildings be placed directly in a category that includes the word building with that category in turn being placed in the infrastructure category.

Thanks for uploading File:Fort Dobbs Scale Model.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Thanks for patrolling new pages. With attack pages, like a couple just now, it's probably best to tag them only with G10, even if other criteria like A7 also apply. That way (I believe) the system gives the attacker a more appropriate warning on the lines of {{ uw-attack}}. (I have blocked that attacker as he persisted).

Hi Clark, on 30 December I contributed a new Wikipedia article on the late Michael Croft, founder and director of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Within four minutes of my doing so you had slapped a "Multiple issues" – "footnotes", "refimprove" and "pov" – tag on it. As you know, this advises me either to "improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page." I therefore tried to explain the position and sought your advice there. That was over a week ago, so I thought it was time to bring it to your attention here as well! Peter Farey ( talk) 10:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to WP:NRHP. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or better yet ask at WT:NRHP. I noticed that you wrote about a site in Iredell County, so I separated out all the sites there that need photos - see Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Iredell County, North Carolina. Hope this helps. Smallbones( smalltalk) 19:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Hmm...Interesting. I'll keep looking, but haven't found anything on those properties yet regarding NRHP. Doesn't yet appear that they were on it and de-listed either. Only have found some mentions of local historic notice, not NRHP. Maybe they are currently in the nomination process possibly? Do the properties have names/titles of any kind that you know of? Might want to take to the project talk page as well. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah ( talk) 02:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Cdtew! I was just wondering if you had a few moments to review a DYK? nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/Martha B.

This is a note to let the main editors of Fort Dobbs (North Carolina) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 27, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 27, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Fort Dobbs was an 18th-century fort in the Yadkin–Pee Dee River Basin region of the Province of North Carolina, near what is now Statesville in Iredell County. Used for frontier defense during and after the French and Indian War, the fort was built to protect the British settlers of the western portion of what was then Rowan County from Cherokee, Catawba, Shawnee, Delaware and French raids into North Carolina. The fort's name honored Arthur Dobbs, the colonial Governor of North Carolina from 1754 to 1765. When in use, it was the only fort on the frontier between South Carolina and Virginia. On February 27, 1760, the fort was the site of an engagement between Cherokee warriors and provincial militia that ended in a victory for the militia. Fort Dobbs was abandoned after 1766, but archaeological work in the 20th century and historical research in 2005 and 2006 led to the discovery of the fort's exact location and probable appearance. The site on which the fort sat is now operated by North Carolina's Division of State Historic Sites and Properties as Fort Dobbs State Historic Site, and supporters of the site have developed plans for the fort's reconstruction.

When it is clear on a quick scan that a government built the fort I do place it in the government built category in addition to the infrastructure category. If you read the infrastructure article, which some editors disagree with, infrastructure is more then physical infrastructure which is what I believe a lot of editors limit infrastructure to. That article says, In military parlance, the term refers to the buildings and permanent installations necessary for the support, redeployment, and operation of military forces. This pretty much covers forts. I would not have a problem with something like Category:Military structures completed in yyyy if there are a sufficient number of military structures completed in individual years. From going through many of these by year categories, I'm not sure that is the case. There are probably more articles post 16th century on armories then forts. There are also some others around like arsenals. This lack of articles could well be due to many buildings not be listed in any year category. Sub categorizing those has been a big task. But when you look, there are huge numbers of building not classified in that tree, even when the build date is known. One other consideration. Modern military facilities tend to be opened in some year and are then expanded over time. So for many of these something like Category:Military structures opened in yyyy could be a better choice. If Category:Military structures completed in yyyy is also kept, that would probably be the parent category. As a side note, some editors prefer that buildings be placed directly in a category that includes the word building with that category in turn being placed in the infrastructure category.
