At wt:NRHP, you indicated interest in developing coverage of Micronesia's NRHP-listed Japanese Lighthouse. Okay, go to it, at User:Doncram/Japanese Lighthouse (Poluwat, Federated States of Micronesia), or move it into your userspace if you like. I am not bothering to develop it much more, and I am refraining from submitting it via wp:ACH. If you wanna run with it, that's great. Go ahead and make a double DYK, or whatever, please feel free, and you do not need to credit me. Please do let me know if you choose not to take this forward.

On 14 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Japanese Lighthouse (Garapan, Saipan), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that after the Japanese lighthouses on Saipan and Poluwat were attacked during World War II, neither was ever used again? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited PRR 1361, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Grant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The WP:NRHP Fall 2014 Photo Contest will kick off at midnight eastern time on Monday September 1! This is an opportunity for all folks with a camera (or a sketchpad and scanner, doncha know) and an interest in the National Register of Historic Places to just have some low-key fun and maybe get some barnstars. Come submit some photos or pose a challenge to your fellow editors. And maybe, just maybe, along the line we'll improve the encyclopedia... (Note that while this contest is intentionally concurrent with Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 and the Wikipedia Summer of Monuments, there ain't gonna be no cash prizes or press releases here. But compete in 'em all if you like - we won't be jealous.) — Ipoellet (talk) 22:55, 30 August 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Saw your comment about the Gudgeonville Covered Bridge at WT:NRHP. I visited the bridge site six months ago, and I was amused to see that it was a wooden-decked structure; I wonder if they're still using the temporary structure that's mentioned in the bridge article? Anyway, thanks very much for getting the photos. I thoroughly agree with Daniel Case's words about our photos being potentially irreplaceable; that's a big reason that I take and upload so many.

Unrelated matter: if you're ever around very much, I'd appreciate any assistance you can give on uploading photos for unillustrated municipalities. See User:Nyttend/Pennsylvania — several of us are working on illustrating as many municipalities as possible; so far we're about 70% done, but that means that we still have 750 municipalities remaining. Nyttend (talk) 04:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I got Waterford, but the only differences between your photo and mine are (1) more graffiti, (2) more clouds, (3) less sun, and (4) fewer leaves on the trees. I ran out of time and didn't get Harrington, but I hit it in January; however, because of the plentiful snow, I didn't dare stop for more than a few seconds (no idea whether it would be safe to pull off, and I couldn't block the road), so all I got was the bridge portals. There's no reason for me to upload anything of either of them, since the current infobox photos are better than anything I have. As far as municipalities: the goal is something representative. In a rural township, perhaps it's a significant building, like a church or the municipal building; perhaps it's a group of houses in a village; perhaps it's a landscape. In a borough, perhaps it's an important building again, or perhaps it's a street scene. Or in any of them, perhaps it's a landmark, like NR sites or Mail Pouch Tobacco barns. Here are a few examples that I've recently added: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Nyttend (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.

Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.

I like the photo on your user page. At first I thought it was logical to see a "Niagara" type loco on your user page, but then I looked more closely -- it's a Berkshire, not a Niagara/Northern/Confederation/FEF/4-8-4.

I don't think any road but the New York Central used the "Niagara" designation, so, strictly speaking, the only "Niagara" image we have is File:NIAGARA NYC 6013 JAGRAFX.jpg. It's a striking line drawing. Since Timken 1111 was first used on the Central, arguably you could use File:Timken 1111 builders portrait 1929.jpg. .     Jim . .

Introduction

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:

• THANK YOU! I want to thank you for your contributions and for volunteering on the list to help out at peer review. Thank you!
• Peer review is useful! It's good to have an active peer review process. This is often the way that we help new or developing editors understand our ways, and improve the quality of their editing - so it fills an important and necessary gap between the teahouse (kindly introduction to our Wikiways) and GA and FA reviews (specific standards uphelp according to a set of quality criteria). And we should try and improve this process where possible (automate, simplify) so it can be used and maintained easily.

Updates

It can get quite lonely tinkering with peer review...

With a bit of effort we can renovate the place to look like this!

Update #1: the peer review volunteers list is changing

The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:

• ((PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly)) - if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.
• ((PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually)) - if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.

We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.

Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer review

I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.

So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.

Update #3: advertising

We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!

And... that's it!

I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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!

Hello Niagara. I came across your name as one who might be open to peer reviewing a georgraphy article before it became a featured article. I would very much appreciate it if you took a look at the peer review request for New Albion which you can read HERE. If that is not possible, I would also appreciate a quick perusal with any advice you might be able to briefly provide. Most kind regards,Hu Nhu (talk) 03:37, 28 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sure, it seems interesting. It might take some time, but I'll see what kind of comments I can provide for a review. Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 01:08, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
