Hi. Only just now came across your note in User talk:Swampyank: "I found a way to automatically put the "nrhp_type=nhl" or "nrhp_type=nhld" fields in the infobox generator output if the property is a National Historic Landmark. There's a table in the database that indicates whether a structure is part of a National Historic Landmark survey, so I'm doing a query against that. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)"
I had certainly noticed that your generator did start including nhl or nhld. It's been a help. Not sure if you know the NRIS field is apparently inaccurate fairly often, and/or it requires a lot of interpretation. The NHL list-tables were created from NRIS using that field, and about 5% or so are off. It misses some NHLs, particularly newer ones (data entry practices changed apparently). It includes some NRHPs that are not NHLs, often an NRHP in a NHLD or an HD that includes an NHL. The remaining ones in your database that have NHL or NHLD, but don't have an article with infobox, will largely be of these types.
Where i come across those, i have made a point to create a stub article, override the NHL or NHLD in the infobox, and mention in the article the specific NHLD or NHL that is related.
So, I wonder if your generator should be modified to not include NHL or NHLD, but rather to include a note in the text body, like where "Filler text here" appears, suggesting that the site may be an NHL or NHLD, or it may be included in an NHLD, or it may be an HD that includes an NHL.
It's not a big deal, as there are relatively few occurences remaining of all this.
Hey, just now i wonder, is there any way to cross-check the wikipedia articles vs. the NRIS-indicated NHLs or NHLDs? If you could generate a table of them all, like you did for Octagon mode houses or other special reports, I would be very happy to have that. I would go through and ensure there are articles (or appropriate redirects to articles), and to create stub articles with appropriate links for all those tricky non-NHL ones. It would be a great help.

Hi Elkman, I am checking all of the Pennsylvania NHLs as part of the drive to fix them all up by the 4th of July (hopefully I will get my part done). I did not realize that the date parameter was (semi)automatically generated. Mostly I have been adding NHL dates to infoboxes and in some cases adding the nrhp infobox from scratch. The date parameter was bugging me - at first I thought it was the date the property was listed on the NRHP, but I soon realized that was incorrect. Then I decided it was the date accessed. I also (being fairly anal) decided to go back and "fix" this on all of the NHLs I had already checked. Mostly I was trying for consistency - it seems to me if it is a searchable database, accessdate makes more sense than date, but I can see the logic behind date too. If everyone else hase done date I can go back and undo my changes. Just let me know, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I've discovered that the NRHP generator produces default maps for the State of Georgia with a map of the nation of Georgia. The default field is "Georgia", but it needs to be "USA Georgia" for the correct map to appear. It's easy to fix by hand, but I assume it's an easy tweak to the database.

Hi, i noticed you added the Nord book into the NRHP infobox generator for MN sites. I just added that to the Minnesota section under Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places#State specific resources.
Interesting use of the generator to suggest using that as a reference. It's a 2003 book, though, so cannot cover all NRHPs in the state, and it shouldn't be included as a reference if it is not directly consulted. I wonder if the presentation in the generator should be amended from:
Article filler text goes here. Book by Nord: <ref name="nord">((cite book|title=The National Register of Historic Places in Minnesota|last=Nord|first=Mary Ann|publisher=[[Minnesota Historical Society]]|date=2003|isbn=0-87351-448-3))</ref>
to something like
Article filler text goes here. You may wish to consult and reference this Mary Ann Nord's 2003 book: <ref name="nord">((cite book|title=The National Register of Historic Places in Minnesota|last=Nord|first=Mary Ann|publisher=[[Minnesota Historical Society]]|date=2003|isbn=0-87351-448-3))</ref>
There are other state-specific resources that might similarly be suggested, such as the detailed pages available from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Perhaps something like:
Article filler text goes here. Please consider searching the [http://www.nationalregister.sc.gov/ South Carolina Department of Archives and History NRHP index] to add a reference or external link to the its NRHP listing for this site.
would be helpful? There are great resources available for several states. doncram (talk) 17:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Elkman,
I stumbled across your comment to Kurt re his constant use of the term "Arbitrary Committee". For what it's worth, I urge you not to block him for using that term, and at least consider removing the threat to do so. Such a block would cause a lot more disruption than his use of the term ever will. The AC is full of grown ups, they can handle a little meaningless criticism, and blocking someone for, essentially, disrespecting authority is possibly going to put you in a hole yourself. --barneca (talk) 22:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I did compile a list of users I am better than, and its not due to DYKs, but due to their actions. I did not deserved to have my adminship stolen from me like a thief in a night would. Two females with their own prejudices kept complaining and complaining, making snide remarks, and I got screwed by it. The sad thing is, had I not awaken at a bad time, none of this would have happened, and I would have been fortunate not to make the acquaintance of User:Sarah and User:Seraphim Whipp, two individuals that should have had their adminship taken away before mine was. I stand by my actions on binging back the hook, accepted by DYK participants, only to be censored by two individuals ignorant and intolerant of divergent viewpoints.--Bedford Pray 06:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
The Saint Paul, Minnesota article is being prepared for GA Nomination ahead of the 2008 RNC and the attention the article will be receiving (and in some cases already has).
Other editors and myself have been working on the article lately and we would like to you to help. If you have additions, comments, concerns, questions or other feed back, it is all appreciated. There is a peer review already set up and detailed checklist of issues that need to be fixed is on the talk page. These items can be crossed off when completed. Feel free to add to the list and sign your username, so that we know who added it.
Any help is appreciated. Also, if you would like to work on other articles directly related to Saint Paul, especially those that link off the Saint Paul article, that would be great too.

The mercy dolls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) was moved to The Mercy Dolls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) on May 5 to capitalize the band name as a proper name. On June 7, another editor submitted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mercy Dolls saying that the band wasn't notable. The deletion debate ran for a while without consensus, until it was closed on June 25. At that point, The Mercy Dolls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) was deleted, but someone forgot to delete the old redirect of The mercy dolls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Someone else noticed that it was a redirect to a nonexistent article, so I deleted the leftover redirect. If you are thinking about recreating the article, the consensus of the deletion discussion was that it wasn't notable for Wikipedia. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 03:57, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
The band is a notable Brisbane band, like many of the other notable Brisbane bands with Wikipedia pages. Their film clip one a nationally acclaimed award (Atom Awards), and were also runner-up in another national film clip away (sunscreen music video awards). They've played nationally and well known around Brisbane. Quite a bit of work went into the page, and I'm annoyed to find that its been deleted. I can point you to the pages of other Brisbane bands if you'd like. . .. . . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.254.23.129 (talk) 04:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
re: AN/I Typically, the kind of discussion hosted at xFD is a discussion about whether to delete, keep, merge, or do 'something else
' with an article. Raising technical issues at WP:TFD (which is still named "Templates for deletion") probably won't get the right audience for the discussion you want to have. You mentioned WP:VPT; did you also raise the issue on Template talk:Reflist? That would be a good place to do it. Also, if editing Wikipedia is causing stress, and you'd rather be out boating on a nice afternoon, then log off and head for the dock. There is no deadline here at Wikipedia, and you might find the boat ride relaxing. You might come back more refreshed.

Thanks for posting about the generator being down, and now for bringing the NRHP infobox generator back on line! I would be lost without it and the related disambiguation page generator, and county-table-list-generator, which i use constantly.
I see also that you changed it per recent decree on not linking dates, which is nice.
In the infobox generator, I am noticing something minor, don't know if it is a change or not: it would help if there were a space after the URL and before the next field, the title field, in the nris reference. Otherwise the lines break awkwardly when editting, though there is no difference in reader view.
| refnum=97001457 <ref name="nris">((cite web|url=http://www.nr.nps.gov/|title=National Register Information System|date=2008-04-15|work=National Register of Historic Places|publisher=National Park Service))</ref>
Also, I notice one weirdness in the disambiguation page generator, when i try "St. Mark's Church". It generates an error, "Invalid query: select city, statecd from propmain, countyd where propmain.refnum = countyd.refnum and resname like 'St. Mark's Church' and certcd = 'LI' order by resname,statecd, city;You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's Church' and certcd = 'LI' order by resname,statecd, city' at line 1".

Hi, I just generated Adams County, Pennsylvania table now in List of RHPs in PA, and find sort of an issue with date display and/or how i am to understand the dates when editing.
The table has dates using dts using DD/MM/YYYY entry order, like, for February 2, 1980:
which displays oddly (for me at least) as "February 1980, 22"
I think that would be better entered with dts using YYYY/MM/DD order as:
which displays better as "February 22, 1980" for me.
Besides the display problem (perhaps unique for me given whatever are my wikipedia user-specific date display options), I think the DD/MM/YYYY order facilitates later mistakes, because when I go to manually add a new row with 8/15/2008 date, I accidentally entered it in MM/DD/YYYY order:
which was in fact the wrong date.
If all the other dates present were given in YYYY/MM/DD order there is no ambiguity for me in how to enter a new date, and i would enter it correctly:
So, for both reasons, I wonder if you would care to change the table generator date display to use "dts|link=off|YYYY|MM|DD" format for dates? Thanks for considering! doncram (talk) 10:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree that at Wiki 'we' don't have to chronicle every internet meme. But 'we' do. From the mundane to the obscure, you can find and learn about any internet meme that you are likely to find spoofed, referenced, or inferred anywhere else on the internet. So why the personal (used in the same sense as 'we'; I'm not referring to personal as you) animosity against having this page?

I was about to delete the I Street Bridge and the Tower Bridge listings because they come up in a search of the NRIS database at the NPS website as in Sacramento County, not Yolo. I know that they come up as in both counties in your county table generator. I've come across this situation fairly often as I've worked on county tables and have been torn about how to handle it. There was some discussion of a similar issue at WT:NRHP a few weeks back. It appears that these bridges span the Sacramento River (I think) which forms the boundary between Sacramento and Yolo Counties. So I guess they really are in both counties. Do you think we should include them in both county lists?
By the way, sorry to read in an earlier post that you had an overnight stay in the hospital recently. I hope everything's okay. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 03:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Awesome additions! Thanks! BTW, how'd you find the article so quickly after I created the stub? —EncMstr (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Yikes about angioplasty, etc! I do hope you get better!
So this seems not so important...
I've just started a list-article List of courthouse buildings in the U.S., in part to shed light on how many occurences there are of more than one courthouse in the same county being NRHP-listed. I don't know if this really wants to become a proper list or not; perhaps it should be in wikiproject or userspace. But for now i am interested because this would relate to revisiting the naming convention of just (State) after county courthouse names, when needed for disambiguation, while (City, State) seems to be the naming convention for all other NRHPs needing location clarification for disambiguation. I'm not quite ready to open a general discussion about revisiting that, although i just chatted at User talk:Nyttend about the possibility.
Anyhow, i start the list-article and add a table using your Who Has generator, with "Output in Wiki markup" checked yes. This works great, generating the main table that I pasted into the article, then I edited the table to make sortable. Sorting it by state, this works well. However, the one thing a bit odd is, the table generator has wikilinked each of the NRHP refnums, rather than wikilinking the names of the courthouses. It would be nicer if the courthouse names were wikilinked, as that would then link to a bunch of wikipedia articles that have been created. Something for you to consider if/when you update the Who Has generator code.

Hi, to respond to, and try to stay a little ahead of a new Maryland wikipedia editor, I would like to set up table for Baltimore, Maryland, at National Register of Historic Places listings in Baltimore (Independent City). It's an independent city, and its listings are not included in Baltimore County, Maryland, which surrounds the city but does not include it. I can get the county table, and i tried a bunch of variations, but can't figure out phrase would work to get a table for the city out of your table generator...could you help, please? Perhaps just putting the table directly into the Temp page linked from there would be most helpful. I'm trying to fix up this situation a bit, but am soon going to be out of doing wikipedia much at all, for a month or so. The same issue might come up for the numerous independent cities in Virginia, by the way. Thanks! doncram (talk) 15:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah and my theory of the universe was deleted ut you cant prove that wrong which means youre using your'e power to delete for discrimanation
...for watching out for me. Liebman pops up here 2 or 3 times a week. My guess is that he doesn't even bother to check back later to see if his latest sock has been put on ice. But blocking them at least makes him do a little extra work creating a new one. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
