Battle of Machias

Your coordinates for the Battle of Machias put the battle on dry land. And they were overprecise. How did you come up with those exacting coordinates? Abductive (reasoning) 00:34, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

The coordinates were probably for Machias itself, rather than the actual battle site, which isn't really known beyond general geographic descriptions. The overprecision would be the result of laziness; the coordinates were probably copied from Google Maps, which has six digit precision. Magic♪piano 01:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Please round all coordinates to only d.dddd° or d°m's" precision, and check all coordinates directly against an internet mapping service once they are in an article. Abductive (reasoning) 04:29, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Mount Tenjo Fortifications

Hi, maybe you could address a small nagging question for me about Mount Tenjo Fortifications in Guam, an article which you created but maybe got interrupted or went away from without finishing completely. I visited the article and added the NRHP document as a reference, but am not 100% sure that was your source or your only source when you created it. Some or maybe all of the article's content is supported by stuff in the NRHP document, but I was left wondering whether you knew about the place independently or were using a different source, somehow because how you wrote it. Could be all good, that you did use the NRHP doc and reworded it completely into your own words. But maybe you had a different source which you could add, and I would appreciate if you could take a quick look at it. Thanks in advance. --Doncram (talk) 20:21, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Kenmore wiki page

Hi there!

I am the current owner of the house Kenmore, in Richmond, MA. THe wikipedia page you've created has been a wonderful resource for us, and for many curious people. Since the date of the photo posted, we've executed a massive restoration of the house, and are beginning on the property itself. We would very much like to provide you with an updated photo of the front of the house... or multiple images, to enhance this page.

I can be reached at sec@scottedwardcole.com

Thank you so much, Scott 24.194.88.7 (talk) 19:09, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Seaside Village Historic District

Could you remove your photo from the Seaside Village Historic District? We are celebrating our Centennial this month and are putting up some historic photos from Harvard’s Historic Collection. Thank you.

Unless you have a specific need for technical assistance (i.e. you don't know how to do something), feel free to edit the article yourself. It's not my image. Magic♪piano 12:04, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

It states that it was uploaded by Magicpiano, which is why I contacted you. I tried to remove it, but Wikipedia would not let me do it.

I may have uploaded the image, but I do not control its use. If you want to remove it from Seaside Village Historic District, you can do so. There's not much point in removing it from Commons. Magic♪piano 21:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Mary B. Moody House

Hey thanks for creating the above article, I'm working on a bio of the woman herself. In looking for sources, I noticed the NRHP Ref # in the infobox (i.e. 83003576) is not correct. It leads to the info for the John Cook House instead. I tried searching the NPS database and trolling around on NPS.GOV but I can't find the right number. Any ideas? --Krelnik (talk) 01:24, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

I've corrected the refnum; it was right in the New Haven NRHP list. It's a relatively recent listing though, so the nomination (which will probably have a decent bio) won't be online. You might be able to get it emailed from the NPS though. Magic♪piano 01:57, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh cool, thanks for the quick attention. FYI the listing date was also suffering from the same cut/paste error but I fixed it. Do you have advice on where to request an emailed copy of the documents? I dug around in the NRHP wikiproject and I saw people mentioning doing this, but not how they did it. --Krelnik (talk) 02:26, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

oops, wait, I found nr_reference (at) nps.gov, is that it? --Krelnik (talk) 02:27, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

That would be the address, yes. Magic♪piano 02:29, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! I emailed them. BTW, my new article Mary Blair Moody about the namesake of that house, is now live. --Krelnik (talk) 03:59, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that one of your GAs, Turtle (submersible) has large amounts of unreferenced text and a refimprove tag. I don't think it satisfies the criteria anymore, so I'm considering a good article review on that one. Your thought are appreciated. L293D (☎ • ✎) 13:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Error on Washington Crossing the Delaware

Hi,

I was catching up on US history around the Battle of Trenton following Washington's Crossing of the Delaware when I came across a reference to "the little ice age". The Little Ice Age refers to a Medeival era global cooling period, well before the American Revolutionary War. You may want to verify and remote that reference on the Crossing the Delaware page.

Thank for keeping the Wikipedia material up to date and we'll referenced.

Source

The "source" of the phrase you defend is corrupt, it does not exist.

Check things out well, please. JamesOredan (talk) 22:24, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Really? I've actually seen that book (i.e. a physical copy, in an actual library). Perhaps you should "check things out well, please" beyond just looking to see if the google book link is up-to-date. [1] Magic♪piano 12:08, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

The link was completely out of use. If you are going to defend a phrase at least look at the state of the source.

A greeting. JamesOredan (talk) 13:27, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

I did. The source was fine (i.e. the book exists). Magic♪piano 13:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

But make sure the link is clean, but for practical purposes it does not mean anything in Wikipedia.

Thanks for adding source. JamesOredan (talk) 16:15, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm afraid the many (apparently class project) edits to the article since my work on it have brought it to a point beyond my ability to effectively salvage.

Connecticut over 90 percent, congrats

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		Congratulations on bringing National Register of Historic Places listings in Connecticut over the 90% "quality" hurdle, per this wp:NRHPPROGRESS measurement diff. For the state's 1,590 listings, you've contributed hugely to achieving 95.7% coverage by photos, 94.3% by articles, 82.3% by "start"-level writing, reaching 90.1% by the combo quality measure, just now. Wow, it's been a long process you have been pursuing! With admiration.... Doncram (talk) 22:51, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Hiya!

   I think you and i had a "[so-called] real-life" discussion abt WP, and I just tripped over your lovely contrib about a common interest, in the course of considering again my previous ambitions for the topic. Tonite, i'm taking a hack at addressing the DAB matter, even if i get a little beyond that aspect. Feedback/reciprocal-collaboration of course (perhaps even more) fully welcome (than that of my previous, cyber-only,) other colleagues. :-)

Moved Harbour Square to Central DC from Upper NW

On the NRHP DC lists I moved Harbour Square to Central DC from Upper NW quadrant. It seems to be something like an HD that includes several pre-existing NRHP sites, including Wheat Row. I didn't do the renumbering, since I don't know the semi-automated process.

I'll ping @Farragutful: since he's taken pix of the sites there, and suggest that he choose a photo. There's an extensive category for Harbour Square at Commons, including many HABS photos. I also adjusted the coordinates to Wheat Row's. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding something here. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 14:21, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing. I don't always get these things right... Magic♪piano 17:20, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

When I added a photo for Harbour Square I noticed that a listing for the Bloomingdale Historic District was not added. It was listed on the NRHP the same week. There are plenty of photos to choose from in the neighborhood's category in the Commons. I also uploaded photos yesterday for the Petworth Branch Library and MacFarland Middle (Junior High) School, which were listed last week. Farragutful (talk) 02:05, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

National Register of Historic Places in D.C.

Are you purposely leaving off newly listed properties in Washington, D.C.? In an earlier post, I alerted you to the Bloomingdale Historic District not being added, and I also mentioned the Petworth Branch Library. Neither were put on when you added MacFarland Junior High School and Roosevelt H.S. In the same post I mentioned I had taken a photo of MacFarland, which you did not post, but you did post a photo of Roosevelt, which I never mentioned. What gives here? Farragutful (talk) 00:49, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, no (to answer your first question). I do the best I can to add the new listings, but apparently sometimes miss things. I also don't own the process of adding new listings -- feel free to update the DC listings yourself, as others do for geographies of their interest. When the new DC listings appeared, I didn't recall your statement about pictures; the Roosevelt School has an article, so I used its picture. Magic♪piano 02:11, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

American Revolution, North Carolina Militia Units

I am interested in writing some pages on North Carolina Militia Units in the American Revolution. I created a page for the Salisbury District Brigade as a starting point. I have a lot of sourcing for the Regiments in this brigade and the officers in these units. Do I need to join a project or contact someone to continue this work? I have used Wikipedia for over a decade but only recently started working on the North Carolina Revolutionary War Units. Do you have any other advice? Talk to GM 18:25, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi @G. Moore:. I don't have any specific guidance, but you might look at some of the more well-written regiment articles, such as the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment. Magic♪piano 13:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

A small bug with ReorderNRHPList.js

ReorderNRHPList.js only works on pages that start with "National Register of Historic Places listings in", so the button doesn't show up on National Register of Historic Places listings on the island of Hawaii. Since only you (and the interface admins) can change the script, would you mind fixing it to support that list? TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 13:59, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Strangely, there is logic in the script that ought to take care of it, but it doesn't work. I'll have a look soon. Magic♪piano 19:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

I assume it has something to do with the first if statement, which seems to explicitly check for pages that start with "National Register of Historic Places listings in" or "National Historic Landmarks in" (and ensures they're in the article namespace). TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 04:38, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Ross Building, other Arkansas NRHPs, NRIS vs. Weekly reference

Hi User:Magicpiano, thank you for creating Ross Building and other Arkansas NRHP articles recently, including finding and using the NRHP documents from the state of Arkansas. I hope you don't mind my noticing and occasionally visiting and editing some of the ones that pop up in my notices or watchlist. Just now I expanded the Ross Building article and Winchester Auto Store and linked between them, and I am creating a related article about a modern architectural firm associated with both of them; I anticipate it is Wikipedia-notable but one will see. I don't know if you check follow-on edits, but one thing i think you know I do occasionally is to expand the NRHP document references to include fuller title, and author(s) and date of preparation. I assume you agree that such changes are a small improvement but I agree they are not crucial, because the sources are directly linked and as volunteers we get to choose what we want to add or not.

But hey, both of these articles used a standard NRIS reference which produced odd-appearing displays of a 2009 date, while I am sure your source for NRHP listing was a 2019 "Weekly list" instead (either directly, or through the addition of the items to the corresponding NRHP county list-articles by you or another editor, when they were listed). Don't you think that referencing the appropriate Weekly list is necessary/better, because what displayed was technically incorrect in a minor way? (E.g. see change by me on this, for Ross Building.) Perhaps you could easily copy a version of the Weekly reference in your other new articles? Or do you think it would be more efficient for someone to search on NRIS references and dates of listing and identify cases like this and address them in some bot-assisted way or something, later? Anyhow, either way, thanks again for creating these articles. --Doncram (talk) 22:39, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

placeholder template for NRHP weekly announcements

Hi, i created template:NRHPweekly to accommodate somewhat vague citations to the NPS's weekly listings of NRHPs. It is vague in not linking to any one specific announcement.

Could you please use this in the new pages you create for relatively new listings, instead of using template:NRISref, which is not exactly correct for these?

I assume you are copying in a block of text from somewhere offline, into your new articles. Could you change your model to include: <ref name=NRHPweekly>{{NRHPweekly}}</ref> instead of the NRISref within the NRHP infobox. And cite that as needed elsewhere in the article by <ref name=NRHPweekly/>

I applied this in your recent new article Jonesboro U.S. Post Office and Courthouse. This will facilitate later cleanup, perhaps by linking instead to a specific announcement page, or perhaps to a future version of NRIS which includes this listing.

sincerely, --Doncram (talk) 22:47, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Good, i see you did this in new Dr. Albert H. Tribble House. I think that these could be modified to link to more specific announcement pages relatively efficiently by someone in the future, doing them all at once, or might be better resolved some other way. Thanks. --Doncram (talk) 20:55, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Delisted Dawson Woman's Club

I saw that Dawson Woman's Club was delisted from the NRHP. Do they give a reason for that? Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 19:36, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

The weekly listings don't give a reason. You'd probably have to ask NPS or the Georgia SHPO for the reason. Given what's stated in the article, it's probably because it was recently moved. Magic♪piano 19:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I can see delisting a building if it is destroyed, but this one was just moved about 2 blocks. It is the same building. Generally why are things delisted? Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 20:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I emailed their historical society, but so far I haven't gotten a reply. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 21:50, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I believe moving a listed building without NPS permission is grounds for automatic delisting. Moving a building is considered to be a loss of historical context, so moved buildings (moved either before or after listing) have to have their statements of significance justify continued significance despite the move. Buildings that are not demolished can also be delisted because of incompatible alterations that strip them of the characteristics that made them listable. Magic♪piano 22:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

The NRHP form does mention landscaping, but the NRHP photos don't show much landscaping. Buildings get destroyed or demolished (probably without NPS permission) and remain on the register. (We went out of our way to get photos of this last year.) Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 23:36, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

You were right. I heard back from the county historical society "Unfortunately it was removed due to the recent relocation of the cabin." Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 03:47, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Framlingham -- Framingham

You are correct in pointing out that I should have double-checked. Having worked near Framingham (Massachusetts) and then reading that it was named for the place of Danforth's birth, I took the L version as a typo.

Colonials seemed to be quite fuzzy on orthography. The town of Killingworth, CT, was supposed to be Kenilworth.

BTW, I was checking the Danforth page (and signature) because he was the "recorder" (yes, that was his title) on the will of my 7th GGfather, Thomas Fox of Concord, in 1657. The signatures match.

PS You have a very interesting set of interests.
