Hey, I feel a tad shell-shocked about the DYK process for the Mexican-American War memorials list-article, but with or without a DYK attempt, there is surely a need for a List of fire fighter monuments and memorials (or " List of firefighting monuments and memorials"?) , and I don't think there is one yet. I have been coming across a few while searching to build List of fire stations, e.g. Vigilant Fire Company Firemen's Monument, Washington Township, PA, NRHP-listed, and Firemen's Monument (Hoboken, New Jersey). There is a big one at the California capitol complex, I recall from an AFD i think, hmm, that was California Firefighters Memorial, ah, and here is corresponding Category:Firefighting memorials with 26 members, not including the Vigilant one yet, which I will fix. I bet we could find hundreds; I think these have to be about as common American Civil War memorials, just not controversial yet (why isn't there more commemoration of non-Irish-descent, non-male firefighters, etc? :) though there is coverage in Wikipedia of some African-American firefighting group in California). It would be interesting to see if their creation dates generally lined up with creation dates for Confederate memorials, perhaps as part of a general monument-building trend associated with economic prosperity or lack thereof, instead. (I do think racism, overt or subtle, was involvedin the Confederate memorials, but I also think some of the hype is missplaced, of course 50 years later lots of memorials would be getting built, like has happened after other wars.) Would you be game to start such a list? And perhaps nominate for DYK? -- Doncram ( talk) 19:57, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Filho is not a surname, but a suffix (jr). Matthew hk ( talk) 20:36, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
"Another difficulty in Portuguese is with the forms that follow the surname and are equivalent to “Junior” (Filho) and “III” (Neto). They should be kept as part of the surname, not treated as the final, paternal name itself."

Hi Zigzig20s
We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.
Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.
As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Hi, thanks for creating William Ducker House, about an NRHP in Nebraska. But hey, could you please consider improving the reference? You so far accepted the assumed/default title "National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: William Ducker House", which was guessed by Elkman's NRHP infobox generator. But that doesn't seem to be the title of the document. It looks like a selected passage or set of pages out of a Willa Cather(sp?) thematic resources document. Could you possibly please try to get a proper title, and perhaps the author and date of the full doc?
I am thinking I oughta write an essay about what I think about NRHP articles, when they are "good enough" vs. not, partly to clarify my views vs. many past critics of myself. I am very positive about any positive contributions. But where to draw the line about what is positive, for me, is somewhere in whether the contribution is fully accurate as far as it goes. IMHO it doesn't have to go far, and definitely not as far as some others would want. I dunno about a reference like this, it is arguably "wrong", or perhaps not. Not as far as asserting some doc is an NRHP nom when it is a state/local doc, which i think bothered u sometime previously when i objected, but still. I do very much appreciate your steady and numerous contributions in general. Some others I think still dislike all of my own contributions. :( -- Doncram ( talk) 00:21, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

U probably didn't know it was a race, but i was trying to bring Colorado over 50% articled before you did that for Nebraska. You won! Oh well. :( Nice work.
By the way, i try to guess at categories which may be relevant for my new articles, and sometimes those turn out to be bluelinks already and sometimes not, and sometimes lead to others refining them, or sometimes lead productively to creation of new categories. E.g. Category:Blacksmith shops recently, now with >100 members after i came across the need for it, with some recent new NRHP article. But i also have been hammered recently, IMHO unfairly, about redlink categories. Do you have any experience with that? cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 21:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for including me in the Barr and Mueller DYKs. And thanks for noticing numerous articles which I have created, by your "thanks" notices. It is nice to know that someone has read them, and that you appreciate some effort put in by me. Also, whether you intend it or not, it does tend to make me self-conscious in a good way, about whether the work I've done is satisfactory or not. Sometimes/often I am trying to get out articles to bring a county's NRHP overall coverage up, and honestly sometimes I can skimp a bit, and your noticing my article creation sometimes causes me to go back and look, and I end up developing a bit more. Other times I develop more upfront, and it is still nice to see that you noticed. :) By the way, I do also notice many of your new articles because they link to some NRHP template or whatever that I created long ago, but it is catch and miss in my watchlist so I don't see all that you do. I do hope you don't mind my suggestions sometimes; I am (and should have to be) open to suggestions you might ever make about articles that i have created. By the way I do also notice new articles created by scattered other new NRHP editors and I do try to sometimes thank them and/or give some tips or feedback. I think, being humans, we all like a little bit of being noticed! Thank you for what you do. cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 00:13, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm working on articles related to Guyana (mostly economic stuff) and I wanted to make an article for one of their major gold mines which is owned by Troy Resources. It looks like you created it 5 years ago, but since you're active presently, I thought it wouldn't hurt to get your opinion!
I'm working on a draft about their mine in Guyana[ [2]], but it's actually a good deal more common that the project is referred to as Troy's. Another mine in Guyana also redirects all info to the current mining company: Aurora gold mine.
On the other hand, if I add the info to the Troy article, I feel like it would be undue weight, since they have projects in other countries that might be of more relative importance to the company's history.

Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 15:25, 26 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard! |

Would you be game to start such a list? And perhaps nominate for DYK? -- Doncram ( talk) 19:57, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Filho is not a surname, but a suffix (jr). Matthew hk ( talk) 20:36, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
"Another difficulty in Portuguese is with the forms that follow the surname and are equivalent to “Junior” (Filho) and “III” (Neto). They should be kept as part of the surname, not treated as the final, paternal name itself."

Hi Zigzig20s
We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.
Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.
As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Hi, thanks for creating William Ducker House, about an NRHP in Nebraska. But hey, could you please consider improving the reference? You so far accepted the assumed/default title "National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: William Ducker House", which was guessed by Elkman's NRHP infobox generator. But that doesn't seem to be the title of the document. It looks like a selected passage or set of pages out of a Willa Cather(sp?) thematic resources document. Could you possibly please try to get a proper title, and perhaps the author and date of the full doc?
I am thinking I oughta write an essay about what I think about NRHP articles, when they are "good enough" vs. not, partly to clarify my views vs. many past critics of myself. I am very positive about any positive contributions. But where to draw the line about what is positive, for me, is somewhere in whether the contribution is fully accurate as far as it goes. IMHO it doesn't have to go far, and definitely not as far as some others would want. I dunno about a reference like this, it is arguably "wrong", or perhaps not. Not as far as asserting some doc is an NRHP nom when it is a state/local doc, which i think bothered u sometime previously when i objected, but still. I do very much appreciate your steady and numerous contributions in general. Some others I think still dislike all of my own contributions. :( -- Doncram ( talk) 00:21, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

U probably didn't know it was a race, but i was trying to bring Colorado over 50% articled before you did that for Nebraska. You won! Oh well. :( Nice work.
By the way, i try to guess at categories which may be relevant for my new articles, and sometimes those turn out to be bluelinks already and sometimes not, and sometimes lead to others refining them, or sometimes lead productively to creation of new categories. E.g. Category:Blacksmith shops recently, now with >100 members after i came across the need for it, with some recent new NRHP article. But i also have been hammered recently, IMHO unfairly, about redlink categories. Do you have any experience with that? cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 21:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for including me in the Barr and Mueller DYKs. And thanks for noticing numerous articles which I have created, by your "thanks" notices. It is nice to know that someone has read them, and that you appreciate some effort put in by me. Also, whether you intend it or not, it does tend to make me self-conscious in a good way, about whether the work I've done is satisfactory or not. Sometimes/often I am trying to get out articles to bring a county's NRHP overall coverage up, and honestly sometimes I can skimp a bit, and your noticing my article creation sometimes causes me to go back and look, and I end up developing a bit more. Other times I develop more upfront, and it is still nice to see that you noticed. :) By the way, I do also notice many of your new articles because they link to some NRHP template or whatever that I created long ago, but it is catch and miss in my watchlist so I don't see all that you do. I do hope you don't mind my suggestions sometimes; I am (and should have to be) open to suggestions you might ever make about articles that i have created. By the way I do also notice new articles created by scattered other new NRHP editors and I do try to sometimes thank them and/or give some tips or feedback. I think, being humans, we all like a little bit of being noticed! Thank you for what you do. cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 00:13, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm working on articles related to Guyana (mostly economic stuff) and I wanted to make an article for one of their major gold mines which is owned by Troy Resources. It looks like you created it 5 years ago, but since you're active presently, I thought it wouldn't hurt to get your opinion!
I'm working on a draft about their mine in Guyana[ [2]], but it's actually a good deal more common that the project is referred to as Troy's. Another mine in Guyana also redirects all info to the current mining company: Aurora gold mine.
On the other hand, if I add the info to the Troy article, I feel like it would be undue weight, since they have projects in other countries that might be of more relative importance to the company's history.

Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 15:25, 26 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard! |
