==Hi==
Please take a look at [[Wikipedia talk:Did you know]] at the bottom. User Crisco is apparently upset that I gave him criticism at the Pettakere cave DYK. Now he/she is claiming that I am poor at making DYKs/articles. Which I am certainly not. Just this month I have articles with a combined review count of over 40,000 views on DYKSTATS. Am I claiming to be the best ever, no. Do I need to get "guidance" in the art of DYKs, no. I think the last years 40+ DYKs is evidence enough of my capabilites. --[[User:BabbaQ|BabbaQ]] ([[User talk:BabbaQ|talk]]) 15:57, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

== New Hamborough ==

I found the following reference to Hamborough in Upper Canada:

"THE HOME DISTRICT was composed of two counties. 
1st. The County of York, containing, in its East Riding, the townships of Whitby, Pickering, 
Scarborough, York, Etobicoke, Markham, Vaughan, King, Whitchurch, Uxbridge, Guillembury, 
and a tract of land, thereafter to be laid out into townships, between the County of Durham and 
lake Simcoe; in the West Riding, the townships of Beverly, Hamborough (east and west), and 
several tracts of land, not then laid out into townships."

<ref>"Statistical Account of Upper Canada..., vol. I." Simpkin & Marshall: London, January 1, 1822, pg 119. </ref> 

<ref>https://openlibrary.org/books/OL7176777M/Statistical_account_of_Upper_Canada</ref>

I also found an 1818 map that shows the township of Beverly mentioned above:
<ref>http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/nmc/n0020917.pdf</ref>

Although the map clearly shows Beverly, I could not find a reference to Hamborough.  It does however, pin down the general location of Hamborough.

== New Hamborough ==

Digging a little deeper it appears that Hamborough may be a misspelling of Flamborough.  Flamborough, Ontario, near Hamilton, was once composed of both East and West Flamborough [see my earlier message to you that references "Hamborough (East and West)"].  

"For most of its existence before amalgamation with Hamilton in 2001, Flamborough comprised the former townships of East Flamborough, West Flamborough, and Beverly, as well as the Village of Waterdown."... [again a reference to Beverly]

"After the American Revolution in 1783 and the creation of Upper Canada, land at the western end of Lake Ontario was surveyed and organized into townships, which included East Flamborough, West Flamborough and Beverly."... "The Town of Dundas was created from parts of West Flamborough and Ancaster Townships."

This leads me to believe that Eber Brock Ward was actually born at Flamborough, not Hamborough. I've also seen a reference to Applegarth Mills, Ontario, as his birthplace. Applegarth Mills apparently was located at what later became East Flamborough. 

Hope this helps,
[[Special:Contributions/2001:558:6007:18:4CBB:384B:2AF6:81F5|2001:558:6007:18:4CBB:384B:2AF6:81F5]] ([[User talk:2001:558:6007:18:4CBB:384B:2AF6:81F5|talk]]) 17:31, 30 November 2014 (UTC)Ray Henry, Rochester, Michigan

== Michigan Heritage Park ==

After many hours of assembling my very first wiki article, it was shot down within an hour. I was going to abandon it. Then a week or so later, I see several people, including you, working on it and polishing it. I took a look at the copyvio and what is showed is that the majority of the red notations are proper names and nouns. There were a couple of sections that I re-edited, but if you remove the proper names and nouns, there is very little copyright violations. I doubt that the Ottawa Indians have copyrighted the name, but it is noted in this software. 

I looked at your pictures and I must be daft, because I don't see where and how you categorize the photos. There are only a few, so is it really important? I have at least 500 photos on the Commons of the historic buildings in Michigan. I have edited the Michigan Historic site page quite a bit as I add photos and correct addresses and such. None of these 500+ photos have been categorized.-- [[User:Wingerham52|Wingerham52]] ([[User talk:Wingerham52|talk]]) 14:39, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

: The article is a good article, similar idea to [[Colonial Williamsburg]] outdoor history concept. It will get passed. I'll work  on it some more today as time allows.

: Yes, it is '''important''' on the pictures to categorize them. I'll get back to you this afternoon and show you some that I will do -> to get you started. Some have been picked up by others and already categorized. I'll do some related to Michigan Heritage Park so you get an idea how to do them in the future. Category is how other editors find your pictures to use in future articles. Without a category they won't have any idea what the picture pertains to. All pictures are categorized (or suppose to be). I'll help you on this. 
*{{ping|Wingerham52}} This is how I [https://www.flickr.com/photos/22738816@N07/20714642308/sizes/l categorized File:Fur Trader Cabin.jpg]. Look at the ''very'' bottom of that picture file. Yes, '''very important''' to categorize all pictures. Will get back to you in a couple of hours.--[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] ([[User talk:Doug Coldwell#top|talk]]) 16:58, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
*{{ping|Wingerham52|Doug Coldwell}} This is an example for [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wigwam_Village.jpg File Wigwam Village.jpg] and how I changed it from uncategorized to Category:Michigan Heritage Park in Commons. Before it was [https://www.flickr.com/photos/22738816@N07/20283730833/in/datetaken-public/ uncategorized] and then looked like [https://www.flickr.com/photos/22738816@N07/20716699160/in/datetaken-public/ this] at the bottom of the File. I then put in [https://www.flickr.com/photos/22738816@N07/20717989319/in/datetaken-public/ Category Michigan Heritage Park]. That is what needs to be done for all the pictures taken at Michigan Heritage Park. When you uploaded the pictures you were asked what Category -and- you bypassed this step, causing an uncategorized picture. Somebody has to Categorize the pictures and it should be the uploader (you). Otherwise somebody else has double-duty as they have to Categorize their own pictures and then yours. Too much work for one person! Does that get you going in the right direction? Look at Commons under my Contributions and "diff". Its a learning curve.--[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] ([[User talk:Doug Coldwell#top|talk]]) 18:58, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
*{{ping|Wingerham52}} In Commons look at the bottom of Category:Michigan Heritage Park and you will see Category:History museums in Michigan = that's how other editors find related pictures for upcoming new articles.--[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] ([[User talk:Doug Coldwell#top|talk]]) 19:17, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
*{{ping|Wingerham52}} I have about 2500 pictures I uploaded to Commons. They all have at least 1 category and many have several Categories, like [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Loxley_house_key.jpg this one.] --[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] ([[User talk:Doug Coldwell#top|talk]]) 19:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

[[File:Crm post office car.jpg|thumb|]]
*{{yo|Wingerham52}} These are the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Michigan Commons Categories of Michigan.] As you can see there are sub-categories, and sub-categories under those, etc. That's how editors find pictures to use = since they are categorized and easy to find. Much like [[Flickr]] with picture albums. I have over 30,000 Flickr pictures and they are all in an album. I have over 600 picture albums. Commons categories are like picture albums. When an editor needs a picture they look under a Category and maybe under a sub-category is just the picture that will work for his/her new article (that has already been uploaded and copyright free). Otherwise an editor would have to go out in the world each time and find a picture(s) for their new article = like reinventing the wheel each time. I don't know how many pictures at Commons, but I suspect hundreds of thousands if not millions. They all must be put into pigeon holes so they can be found later. Like sorting mail = each picture has a zip code (category). Does that make sense?--[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] ([[User talk:Doug Coldwell#top|talk]]) 21:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
*{{yo|Wingerham52}} Commons Category:Michigan -> Category:History of Michigan -> Category:History museums in Michigan -> Category:Michigan Heritage Park = now the picture is in the correct category (album).--[[User:Doug Coldwell|Doug Coldwell]] ([[User talk:Doug Coldwell#top|talk]]) 22:08, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

== [[Michigan Heritage Park]] ==

I will ponder your suggestion to expand on the subjects at the park. The problem is that these are significant subjects that are covered in extensive detail elsewhere on Wikipedia. I didn't want to be redundant and my original posting had links to all the details on Wikipedia, if a reader wanted to delve into the subject more in depth. I also have pictures of the reanacters, but I do not have model releases to be able to post them. I did this because I wanted to try and create a brand new page and to do a little promotion of this unique new historical park. It will never be a Greenwich Village, but it is designed to educate school kids and the public on what life was like for humans in Michigan. I also wanted to illustrate what a person's vision and money, working along with a public institution can create. I will go back into my 500+ photos and try to categorize them. It may take a while. 99% of the pictures are either Michigan historic sites or National Historic Sites. I did come in No.1 in the Wikicommons Photo Challenge for June. I will see if anyone did that for me for that photo. Thanks for all your help and supporting me. I really didn't have a clue what I was getting in to. There is a lot, lot more to making a page than I ever considered. --[[User:Wingerham52|Wingerham52]] ([[User talk:Wingerham52|talk]]) 20:52, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
