If you ask a question here, you're most likely to get a response here, so you might want to put this page on your watchlist.

Note, however, that I'm prone to screwing up. I'm EXTREMELY prone to screwing up, often in new, unforeseen ways. So, just go ahead and tell me how I've screwed up.

Great American Wiknic for Twin Cities in June

Howdy! I would like to invite you to again join the Great American Wiknic this June (maybe just update Wikipedia:Meetup/Minnesota ?) :) Also, please add any preliminary details to Wikipedia:Wiknic#2012 Wiknic.--Pharos (talk) 21:13, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

NRHP Delisted Properties

I'm new to this Wiki talk page, so I hope I'm doing it corrrectly. I am doing case studies and am looking to create a list of NRHP delisted properties that where delisted for other reasons than fire or flood distruction, and that where delisted through appropriate processes. I've downloaded the Main.xlsx file, but it only list projects in standing on the register. I am proficient in MS Access, but cannot seam to come up with the correct file off of the NPS web page. Can you give me any pointers or assistance. I see where you had identified 1508 properties that have been delisted. I also found another site that identifed that around 980 properties had been destroyed (most by fire).

User:Elkman/Sandbox3, etc

Found these pages while looking to see if you'd been active lately. Ever think of just creating one of these pages for every county in the state and using {{GeoGroupTemplate}} on all of them? I've found this system highly useful and have created sets of pages for two different states, User:Nyttend/Indiana NRHP and User:Nyttend/Ohio NRHP. Nyttend (talk) 21:37, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I've been quite inactive lately, so I should really do something about that. As far as those sandbox pages go, I created a subset of those county lists because I went on a trip to Jackson, Minnesota a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to get pictures of NRHP sites along the way. Having those subsets as sandbox pages made them easier to print and to look up on my iPhone, in case I needed to look up the map to a place while on the way. I should upload those pictures at some point. The sandbox pages exclude the sites with pictures, as well as the places that weren't on my route. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 21:59, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Didn't even think about smartphones. I much prefer a basic fliphone to a smartphone, so I always print out my maps with addresses and other details that I need to find them. Since my interest is photographing the unphotographed sites, I simply chop sites once I visit them (example from a recent lucrative trip) and am thus able to use the GeoGroupTemplate output instantly to see where I need to consider going on the next trip.

PS. If you're noticing above-average activity on the generator lately, this trip may be the reason, since I generate an infobox in order to get data for categorising images more thoroughly. Nyttend (talk) 22:15, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Generator modification request

Could you make a small change to the generator please? PumpkinSky is reporting that entries in Lewis and Clark County, Montana appear in the generator as "Lewis And Clark County", which results in erroneous category names. Thanks for the help! Nyttend (talk) 03:20, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
