Hi Zigzig. I should have some freee time this weekend, so I'll make a start with Henry. Arthur can follow next. I've more or less finished an initial read of Henry's chapter in that book, so I reckon I can make a decent start. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 23:24, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

It was my mistake to remove the picture as you pointed out on my talk page.
I was going to contact you about Elkman Infobox Generator, which would simplify your editing if you are willing to use it. Existing and some other properties with refnums before some date in 2010 have the infobox set out with the refnum. Having the refnum keeps the page off of the right hand box for Wikipedia talk:National Register of Historic Places, which is the list I have been fixing. The NRIS database and the elkman infobox generator are not guaranteed to be free from errors, so it is good to look at your sources also.
I have noticed that you have made heavy use of NRHP.com, which is useful, but it is just a commercial listing of the same NRIS database. But NRHP.com does not discriminate. A small fraction of its listings were never listed (e.g. owner objection, etc) or removed (delisted). So some caution must be applied to that and other lists that copy the NRIS data.
To answer another question of yours, I can't put the maps on those sites. If you can supply the geocoordinates for the site and set " | locmapin = Mississippi," the map will be generated. Good wishes in adding to MS sites. KudzuVine ( talk) 18:06, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

you still manage to catch articles which your reqphoto seem so incredibly absurd. Campbell barracks actually has signs that say no photographs, believe it or not. In all WP:AGF - think of something else please. It is a military establishment that has strict control on public access and is not the sort of place where even media with permits are allowed much leeway. After the tasmanian rocks all these years ago, where no one actually goes.... oh well have a good new year. satusuro 16:18, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Please understand in WP:AGF - you created a dumb request - a highly secretive (for good reason) army installation - you want a photo? You want me to pull my head in. No, sorry there are actually restrictions on that site, and if you dont like my response, too bad. It would be foolhardy to actually ask someone else to take a photo there, and asking them to break federal laws and regulations. Sorry. satusuro 16:40, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I am not the owner of anything on wikipedia - look at the CC business - nothing is owned, but I do know common sense when it comes to military sites. Have fun when you are in perth, but from your tagging isolated rocks in tasmania you give me no confidence that you know what you are tagging most of the time. There are lots of photographs taken already for commons about perth - if you are here, dont forget to actually catch up with locals - they might actually give you an idea what to take, rather than tagging. satusuro 16:45, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Just a reminder, if I see a request and I know the location or the person, which from my experience it will not be legally or practically possible to get a CC based photo and see it as a ridiculous request, I will revert it, regardless of your personal feelings - specially in the example of the campbell barracks - which could get a person into legal problems. I am not a sort of oh what a great idea responder to requests that might put a potential photographer in physicial or legal danger, but from your response that echoes your response all those years ago - I will in fact alert you to the legal or practical issues at the same time seeing you seem to be a sensitive soul. Have a safe journey to australia, and enjoy your interactions with the liberal politicians. satusuro 16:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I look forward to seeing how many of your tasmania photo requests you actually find humanly possible to do when you get there. Good luck. satusuro 16:56, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Pretty sure you made similar claims about an impending visit before when confronted about the blatant overtagging. Locals advised you then of the remoteness of the places you were tagging from Perth and the distance from any sort of transport. Seems to be a recurring theme... Orderinchaos 17:01, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I take no pleasure in reminding you the pointlessness of the creation of the stub /info/en/?search=St_James%27_Church,_Greenough,_Western_Australia
First its only notability was from a deadlink based on none other than a liberal party website. There was no attempt to discern the denomination, in either the lead and only sentence, in the title of the article, or in the project tag at the rear (Christianity is irrelevent and a pointless indicator).
If it had been created in good faith, the denomination (Anglican) should have been identified in the category, in the lead sentence, and some effort beyond a liberal party unstable website refernce, as well as an Anglicanism project tag. Since none of that was done, and a WP:SHOUTING edit summary, I fail to see where the editing of such a stub can go, there was no attempt at clarifying anything to do with the WP:N, WP:V of such a church. satusuro 17:25, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Trust your travels went smoothly.
Your missed the Perth meetup yesterday, you could have had the opportunity to meet real live wikipedians.
First WikiProject Perth no longer exists as such, you have registered in an inactive project, almost 90% of the peoples names on that list are no longer active or regular editors here on wikipedia en. Try finding the talk page for the project - it redirects to the WA project. Someone forgot to turn out the lights.
Second, before you get too carried away with offers of photographs, please take a very close look at
and your enthusiasms for suburbs you need to take a close look at
and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cottesloe,_Western_Australia
and also the other locations you claim you might access.
Also note that the commons categories, image titles, and descriptions are a real mess, no one appears to check for errors or make corrections or cleans them up and there are repeatedly serious errors throughout the collection attributed to Perth and its surrounds. Please do not add to the errors, check with other editors - it is well worth speaking/messaging other active editors when here in Western Australia.
Also please note that Perth should preferably never be stated as Perth, Australia - no such place exists - it is Perth, Western Australia.
Very important if you are out and about take care of the sun/uv rating (current Sunday 2nd February 9.5 Very High) see http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml - UV Alert from 8:20 am to 4:40 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 13 [Extreme] also http://www.bom.gov.au/uv/ - the cool breeze from the east in the city area is deceptive - the uv can burn you badly if you are not prepared.
Have a safe stay - and try to communicate with locals, it might make some of your plans/ideas a lot easier satusuro 04:16, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
As I warned you if you are just from the uk - it can kill (I know of a number people who have died from incurable skin cancer/melanoma here in western australia :( ) Your isolated thing doesnt work, as in most cases things like meetups and wikimanias are in fact a very useful way to understand the users are humans too (not sharks) and are actually things beyond their usernames (how many people do you know who are called in off-wiki situations First of January, my equivalent in Javanese)... and it is possible to interact a thousand times better than on line interactions. Get a HAT, get more covering clothes, and use sun screen. Apply something on your burn, it can be problematic if left untouched by something to reduce it. I will look at the commons issues later tonight or tommorow. Take care, and dont pride yourself in your anonyimity or obscurity, make sure you go to London Wikimania 2014, and I will buy you a beer or tea, whichever fits. satusuro 08:55, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Garrick_Theatre_%28Guildford%29&diff=593687313&oldid=583758642 is not a good idea - the photograph (as I have suggested in a previous message, never ever assume that commons titles or descriptions are correct... many uploads on commons are by non english speaking visitors who have no idea where they are....) is not of the garrick theatre -
Guildford has a very good set of signs and tourist information what would clearly not identify the building as what you claim, and it simply goes back to check first with a local - putting something up like that simply shows how easy it is to be caught out. satusuro 10:02, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
However, please refrain from attacking me aggressively for being foreign and not local. The appropriate way to communicate with me would be to say, "Thank you very much for your edit, but I believe this is incorrect..." I have never interacted with someone as blunt as yourself, in life or online. - you must have indeed had a very sheltered life, I am neither attacking you and if you dont understand the problems and extraordinary ease of online misinterpretation - you are projecting a lot of stuff back on to me that is not intended in any way.
I have already stated (now third time) - never take commons titles or descriptions at face value - and if you had been actually walking between the Polo club oval on the helena river flat, and the former Guildford Cinema - you might have seen some signs on the route, and you would have learnt a lot! If you have been to Guildford, it would be useful to know if you have walked the area... If you havent I could offer a lot of clues as to your journey - it is up to you. satusuro 10:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
And just in case you misinterpret that as well, I could do the polo club article in less than an hour if you ask... I happen to know something about the Guildford locality and related subjects. But if you are going to take that offer the wrong way, I have lots of other wikipedia things that I am doing anyways. cheers. satusuro 11:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, and my apologies for what might seem a slight brusqueness - will see what I can do in the short term, will let you know when it is up... satusuro 12:50, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
One very small very little request and very small favour for the day - would you please stop tagging articles that I have obviously created with reqphotos, it would be really appreciated, as it really gets quite un nerving as I am sure you have no idea how trollish it looks... I have never asked anyone for reqphoto ever in my 90.000 + edits, it would make me feel less under obligation to help (where I can) regarding Guildford and it surrounds. I am sure you would appreciate that I dont go wandering through your edits and try tagging anything, or any other persons edits - specially with anything like that. It would be much appreciated if you could consider that withjout replying, but just accepting the request.
Also I learnt an (about an hour or so ago) important person at the place in my work place died yesterday, any offers I made about photos in the short term are delayed indefinitely - possibly for a week or so... satusuro 15:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I'll have to investigate all of these after I come back from holiday in a couple of weeks (will be in Munich). I know that Totease House @ Buxted still stands and looks much as it did in that 1930 photo, so maybe I can get a current photo at some point.

WIth regard to John Russell Green (10 June 1890, Chicago — 22 November 1933, Paris) there may be an interesting story — though I do not yet know the end of it. He left four wills (dated 1925, 1928, 1932, and 1933). The 1932 will left various bequests to his sisters and their children, with the residual to go to his French mistress, Madame Berthe Randon. His estranged wife, Ellen "Mousie" Breth of North Carolina, a 1917 Ziegfield Follies showgirl, was left nothing in either the 1932 or 1933 will. As his death approached, Berthe, who was caring for him, let his sisters know that he was dying (of alcoholism, apparently, although the official cause seems to have been said to be tuberculosis). The sisters rushed to Paris and had him write the 1933 will on his deathbed, leaving nothing to Berthe. Berthe claimed this will was invalid, as he was not sufficiently cogent to change his will at the time, and also alleging the undue influence of his sisters. (It was testified that at the Clinique Eugene Manuel, where he died, he was known as "Monsieur Whiskey.") The first two trials went against Berthe, but I do not know how subsequent trials turned out. He is buried in the Cimetière du Père Lachaise. - Nunh-huh 01:14, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
This house isn't individually listed on the Register. This webpage gives the address as 501 Margin Street, and you may note the presence of a Margin Street Historic District on the list. National Register status isn't granted without a lot of documentation, including a detailed nomination form with lots of information about the place; the fourth page of this district's nomination form lists 501 Margin Street as one of the district's contributing properties. So it's on the Register, but not by itself; it's merely one of the components that helps to make an NR-listed historic district historic. Nyttend ( talk) 11:15, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I asked in the chat room if I could do it, and the person basically said that it isn't how things are done. However, he added something to the page that made it say awaiting review. I figured out how you can review it, but it would probably take you some time to understand all the instructions. →On the draft page, Draft: Homewood Plantation (Natchez Mississippi), you click on show in the Reviewer Tools section of the box the help desk guy put on my page to get to the instructions link. Click on instructions. Then in the green box at the top of the page, click on the following link: Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script. Then scroll down to the Editing section and check the box that says Yet another AFC helper script. Then click save at the bottom of the page. After doing all this, go back to the page where you clicked on instructions and read the rest of that page to get you started. This seems to be how to get started, but I just figured this much out by reading the pages - not by anyone at Wikipedia telling me anything.
I think you would be good at reviewing, and you seem well qualified according to the guidelines I saw. I would like it if you did it, but it seems like a lot to take on. Anyway, they will probably review it in a week or two anyway.

There probably weren't enough articles written about Woodlawn for a Wikipedia article. People just wrote about David Hunt instead, because his home on Woodlawn plantation was nothing special. Of all the Hunt plantations, only Lansdowne and Homewood were written about because of the extravagant homes built on them. That's why I had to do so much research to piece together the information about the other plantations. I think you got it right with having the Abijah Hunt, David Hunt, Lansdowne and Homewood pages. Those may be the only ones with enough sources for Wikipedia.
The photo you mentioned of Hunt (the one in the Tennessee Portrait project, or something, website) on my talk page was published in 1992 already on page 95 of the book - Natchez, An Illustrated History, by David G. Sansing, Sim C. Callon and Carolyn Vance Smith. You are right about it probably being public domain. I just learned how to put photos on Wikipedia, so I'm sort of new to this aspect of the articles.

For the most common type of entry, just a normal NRHP listing, leave the nrhp_type blank. You might have been trying to get the "U.S. National Register of Historic Places" banner to display in the infobox. The real problem is that the banner doesn't display if the reference number field and nrhp_type are blank. a refnum (or partof_refnum) should usually be present.

From everything I've seen on your talk page, you've created a lot of pages. Some people call ME fast for the large number of birth/death dates I've added, but you're creating pages, some of which I've edited. I think this is what makes Wikipedia so great. Anyone can create articles, and many of those articles are on quite obscure topics. I don't want that to sound as if it's an insult. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. Let's say that there's someone who happens to be interested in the ancient tribes of Italy. They can find an abundance of knowledge on major tribes, and a good amount of knowledge on some of the lesser-known tribes without having to look for the same information on a website that you'd probably find on page 30 of a Google search. By the way, no need to thank me for the edit. You pretty much created the page, and I added some details you missed, although I bet you would have fixed the edits sooner or later.

Hey friend. I wasn't able to upload one of your requested photos. The pics were post-1923 which means they aren't public domain.
The reason I'm writing, however, is to ask you to glean the treasure-trove of photos here. All are public domain, and some may be worthy of one of your excellent articles.

It was my mistake to remove the picture as you pointed out on my talk page.
I was going to contact you about Elkman Infobox Generator, which would simplify your editing if you are willing to use it. Existing and some other properties with refnums before some date in 2010 have the infobox set out with the refnum. Having the refnum keeps the page off of the right hand box for Wikipedia talk:National Register of Historic Places, which is the list I have been fixing. The NRIS database and the elkman infobox generator are not guaranteed to be free from errors, so it is good to look at your sources also.
I have noticed that you have made heavy use of NRHP.com, which is useful, but it is just a commercial listing of the same NRIS database. But NRHP.com does not discriminate. A small fraction of its listings were never listed (e.g. owner objection, etc) or removed (delisted). So some caution must be applied to that and other lists that copy the NRIS data.
To answer another question of yours, I can't put the maps on those sites. If you can supply the geocoordinates for the site and set " | locmapin = Mississippi," the map will be generated. Good wishes in adding to MS sites. KudzuVine ( talk) 18:06, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

you still manage to catch articles which your reqphoto seem so incredibly absurd. Campbell barracks actually has signs that say no photographs, believe it or not. In all WP:AGF - think of something else please. It is a military establishment that has strict control on public access and is not the sort of place where even media with permits are allowed much leeway. After the tasmanian rocks all these years ago, where no one actually goes.... oh well have a good new year. satusuro 16:18, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Please understand in WP:AGF - you created a dumb request - a highly secretive (for good reason) army installation - you want a photo? You want me to pull my head in. No, sorry there are actually restrictions on that site, and if you dont like my response, too bad. It would be foolhardy to actually ask someone else to take a photo there, and asking them to break federal laws and regulations. Sorry. satusuro 16:40, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I am not the owner of anything on wikipedia - look at the CC business - nothing is owned, but I do know common sense when it comes to military sites. Have fun when you are in perth, but from your tagging isolated rocks in tasmania you give me no confidence that you know what you are tagging most of the time. There are lots of photographs taken already for commons about perth - if you are here, dont forget to actually catch up with locals - they might actually give you an idea what to take, rather than tagging. satusuro 16:45, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Just a reminder, if I see a request and I know the location or the person, which from my experience it will not be legally or practically possible to get a CC based photo and see it as a ridiculous request, I will revert it, regardless of your personal feelings - specially in the example of the campbell barracks - which could get a person into legal problems. I am not a sort of oh what a great idea responder to requests that might put a potential photographer in physicial or legal danger, but from your response that echoes your response all those years ago - I will in fact alert you to the legal or practical issues at the same time seeing you seem to be a sensitive soul. Have a safe journey to australia, and enjoy your interactions with the liberal politicians. satusuro 16:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I look forward to seeing how many of your tasmania photo requests you actually find humanly possible to do when you get there. Good luck. satusuro 16:56, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Pretty sure you made similar claims about an impending visit before when confronted about the blatant overtagging. Locals advised you then of the remoteness of the places you were tagging from Perth and the distance from any sort of transport. Seems to be a recurring theme... Orderinchaos 17:01, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I take no pleasure in reminding you the pointlessness of the creation of the stub /info/en/?search=St_James%27_Church,_Greenough,_Western_Australia
First its only notability was from a deadlink based on none other than a liberal party website. There was no attempt to discern the denomination, in either the lead and only sentence, in the title of the article, or in the project tag at the rear (Christianity is irrelevent and a pointless indicator).
If it had been created in good faith, the denomination (Anglican) should have been identified in the category, in the lead sentence, and some effort beyond a liberal party unstable website refernce, as well as an Anglicanism project tag. Since none of that was done, and a WP:SHOUTING edit summary, I fail to see where the editing of such a stub can go, there was no attempt at clarifying anything to do with the WP:N, WP:V of such a church. satusuro 17:25, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Trust your travels went smoothly.
Your missed the Perth meetup yesterday, you could have had the opportunity to meet real live wikipedians.
First WikiProject Perth no longer exists as such, you have registered in an inactive project, almost 90% of the peoples names on that list are no longer active or regular editors here on wikipedia en. Try finding the talk page for the project - it redirects to the WA project. Someone forgot to turn out the lights.
Second, before you get too carried away with offers of photographs, please take a very close look at
and your enthusiasms for suburbs you need to take a close look at
and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cottesloe,_Western_Australia
and also the other locations you claim you might access.
Also note that the commons categories, image titles, and descriptions are a real mess, no one appears to check for errors or make corrections or cleans them up and there are repeatedly serious errors throughout the collection attributed to Perth and its surrounds. Please do not add to the errors, check with other editors - it is well worth speaking/messaging other active editors when here in Western Australia.
Also please note that Perth should preferably never be stated as Perth, Australia - no such place exists - it is Perth, Western Australia.
Very important if you are out and about take care of the sun/uv rating (current Sunday 2nd February 9.5 Very High) see http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml - UV Alert from 8:20 am to 4:40 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 13 [Extreme] also http://www.bom.gov.au/uv/ - the cool breeze from the east in the city area is deceptive - the uv can burn you badly if you are not prepared.
Have a safe stay - and try to communicate with locals, it might make some of your plans/ideas a lot easier satusuro 04:16, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
As I warned you if you are just from the uk - it can kill (I know of a number people who have died from incurable skin cancer/melanoma here in western australia :( ) Your isolated thing doesnt work, as in most cases things like meetups and wikimanias are in fact a very useful way to understand the users are humans too (not sharks) and are actually things beyond their usernames (how many people do you know who are called in off-wiki situations First of January, my equivalent in Javanese)... and it is possible to interact a thousand times better than on line interactions. Get a HAT, get more covering clothes, and use sun screen. Apply something on your burn, it can be problematic if left untouched by something to reduce it. I will look at the commons issues later tonight or tommorow. Take care, and dont pride yourself in your anonyimity or obscurity, make sure you go to London Wikimania 2014, and I will buy you a beer or tea, whichever fits. satusuro 08:55, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Garrick_Theatre_%28Guildford%29&diff=593687313&oldid=583758642 is not a good idea - the photograph (as I have suggested in a previous message, never ever assume that commons titles or descriptions are correct... many uploads on commons are by non english speaking visitors who have no idea where they are....) is not of the garrick theatre -
Guildford has a very good set of signs and tourist information what would clearly not identify the building as what you claim, and it simply goes back to check first with a local - putting something up like that simply shows how easy it is to be caught out. satusuro 10:02, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
However, please refrain from attacking me aggressively for being foreign and not local. The appropriate way to communicate with me would be to say, "Thank you very much for your edit, but I believe this is incorrect..." I have never interacted with someone as blunt as yourself, in life or online. - you must have indeed had a very sheltered life, I am neither attacking you and if you dont understand the problems and extraordinary ease of online misinterpretation - you are projecting a lot of stuff back on to me that is not intended in any way.
I have already stated (now third time) - never take commons titles or descriptions at face value - and if you had been actually walking between the Polo club oval on the helena river flat, and the former Guildford Cinema - you might have seen some signs on the route, and you would have learnt a lot! If you have been to Guildford, it would be useful to know if you have walked the area... If you havent I could offer a lot of clues as to your journey - it is up to you. satusuro 10:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
And just in case you misinterpret that as well, I could do the polo club article in less than an hour if you ask... I happen to know something about the Guildford locality and related subjects. But if you are going to take that offer the wrong way, I have lots of other wikipedia things that I am doing anyways. cheers. satusuro 11:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

One very small very little request and very small favour for the day - would you please stop tagging articles that I have obviously created with reqphotos, it would be really appreciated, as it really gets quite un nerving as I am sure you have no idea how trollish it looks... I have never asked anyone for reqphoto ever in my 90.000 + edits, it would make me feel less under obligation to help (where I can) regarding Guildford and it surrounds. I am sure you would appreciate that I dont go wandering through your edits and try tagging anything, or any other persons edits - specially with anything like that. It would be much appreciated if you could consider that withjout replying, but just accepting the request.
Also I learnt an (about an hour or so ago) important person at the place in my work place died yesterday, any offers I made about photos in the short term are delayed indefinitely - possibly for a week or so... satusuro 15:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

WIth regard to John Russell Green (10 June 1890, Chicago — 22 November 1933, Paris) there may be an interesting story — though I do not yet know the end of it. He left four wills (dated 1925, 1928, 1932, and 1933). The 1932 will left various bequests to his sisters and their children, with the residual to go to his French mistress, Madame Berthe Randon. His estranged wife, Ellen "Mousie" Breth of North Carolina, a 1917 Ziegfield Follies showgirl, was left nothing in either the 1932 or 1933 will. As his death approached, Berthe, who was caring for him, let his sisters know that he was dying (of alcoholism, apparently, although the official cause seems to have been said to be tuberculosis). The sisters rushed to Paris and had him write the 1933 will on his deathbed, leaving nothing to Berthe. Berthe claimed this will was invalid, as he was not sufficiently cogent to change his will at the time, and also alleging the undue influence of his sisters. (It was testified that at the Clinique Eugene Manuel, where he died, he was known as "Monsieur Whiskey.") The first two trials went against Berthe, but I do not know how subsequent trials turned out. He is buried in the Cimetière du Père Lachaise. - Nunh-huh 01:14, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
This house isn't individually listed on the Register. This webpage gives the address as 501 Margin Street, and you may note the presence of a Margin Street Historic District on the list. National Register status isn't granted without a lot of documentation, including a detailed nomination form with lots of information about the place; the fourth page of this district's nomination form lists 501 Margin Street as one of the district's contributing properties. So it's on the Register, but not by itself; it's merely one of the components that helps to make an NR-listed historic district historic. Nyttend ( talk) 11:15, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I asked in the chat room if I could do it, and the person basically said that it isn't how things are done. However, he added something to the page that made it say awaiting review. I figured out how you can review it, but it would probably take you some time to understand all the instructions. →On the draft page, Draft: Homewood Plantation (Natchez Mississippi), you click on show in the Reviewer Tools section of the box the help desk guy put on my page to get to the instructions link. Click on instructions. Then in the green box at the top of the page, click on the following link: Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script. Then scroll down to the Editing section and check the box that says Yet another AFC helper script. Then click save at the bottom of the page. After doing all this, go back to the page where you clicked on instructions and read the rest of that page to get you started. This seems to be how to get started, but I just figured this much out by reading the pages - not by anyone at Wikipedia telling me anything.
I think you would be good at reviewing, and you seem well qualified according to the guidelines I saw. I would like it if you did it, but it seems like a lot to take on. Anyway, they will probably review it in a week or two anyway.
I liked your Cypress Grove Plantation page - thanks for that one. Billmeguire ( talk) 13:55, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
There probably weren't enough articles written about Woodlawn for a Wikipedia article. People just wrote about David Hunt instead, because his home on Woodlawn plantation was nothing special. Of all the Hunt plantations, only Lansdowne and Homewood were written about because of the extravagant homes built on them. That's why I had to do so much research to piece together the information about the other plantations. I think you got it right with having the Abijah Hunt, David Hunt, Lansdowne and Homewood pages. Those may be the only ones with enough sources for Wikipedia.
The photo you mentioned of Hunt (the one in the Tennessee Portrait project, or something, website) on my talk page was published in 1992 already on page 95 of the book - Natchez, An Illustrated History, by David G. Sansing, Sim C. Callon and Carolyn Vance Smith. You are right about it probably being public domain. I just learned how to put photos on Wikipedia, so I'm sort of new to this aspect of the articles.

it states in the first paragraph or two, " and started working there." So . . ...who or what started working there? I figured rather then me mucking up what you have been carefully working on I'd pass it on to you. Enjoy. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 20:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia

site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

I just wanted to drop by and say Thank You! For creating articles on many NRHP homes and mansions. Keep up the good work! -- ACase0000 ( talk) 17:12, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
You have created some articles, like Skipwith Hall, where you set nrhp_type = National Register of Historic Places. Please only use an entry from the valid list, which is described here, look under Designations and then click show accepted values. For the most common type of entry, just a normal NRHP listing, leave the nrhp_type blank. You might have been trying to get the "U.S. National Register of Historic Places" banner to display in the infobox. The real problem is that the banner doesn't display if the reference number field and nrhp_type are blank. a refnum (or partof_refnum) should usually be present. Feel free to add the reference number when you create the article. Generic1139 ( talk) 21:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You added Thomas Gordon as a 5th generation ancestor. I'm not sure how much ancestral information is too much, but I think this might be. Hamersley was also a 6th generation descendant of Robert Livingston the Elder, who was much more prominent; if you keep Gordon you might want to add him. Other ancestors include Anneke Jans (not the one we have an article on, but the one whose descendants claim she owned 62 acres of land in the middle of Manhattan.

From everything I've seen on your talk page, you've created a lot of pages. Some people call ME fast for the large number of birth/death dates I've added, but you're creating pages, some of which I've edited. I think this is what makes Wikipedia so great. Anyone can create articles, and many of those articles are on quite obscure topics. I don't want that to sound as if it's an insult. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. Let's say that there's someone who happens to be interested in the ancient tribes of Italy. They can find an abundance of knowledge on major tribes, and a good amount of knowledge on some of the lesser-known tribes without having to look for the same information on a website that you'd probably find on page 30 of a Google search. By the way, no need to thank me for the edit. You pretty much created the page, and I added some details you missed, although I bet you would have fixed the edits sooner or later.

Hey friend. I wasn't able to upload one of your requested photos. The pics were post-1923 which means they aren't public domain.
The reason I'm writing, however, is to ask you to glean the treasure-trove of photos here. All are public domain, and some may be worthy of one of your excellent articles. For example, this pic shows what is certainly the Cocke-Martin-Jackson House. It's listed at National Register of Historic Places listings in Rankin County, Mississippi. Cheers.
