Battle of Long island

Hi Magicpiano,

I've had a look over at your article concerning the order of battle at the Battle of Long Island. I took the liberty of changing the phrase "decisive" to "significant", which made me wonder whether or not the battle was actually decisive or not; it is not listed as such on the page (which is why I made the change), despite it seeming to be a significant victory over the Patriot forces during the New York and New Jersey campaign. Since you seem to have a great deal of sources from this period, do you know whether or not this battle was actually decisive or not based on any sources you may have concerning the battle? Much regards Snagemit (talk) 10:06, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, the use of "decisive" and other such adjectives has been deprecated for use in military infoboxes. When I worked the battle and "order of" articles, it was not. If it really matters to you (I personally don't care much one way or the other, the whole business is one long indecisive edit war), I'm sure there are sources that say as much, but you'll have to find them -- my libraries are all closed.

Michigan Delistings

Hi! The NRHP delisted four properties in the latest weekly list in Michigan. I think I updated everything correctly for MI, on the county and state pages, and on the date template. However, I don't usually do this, so I just want to make sure I didn't miss something. Andrew Jameson (talk) 12:57, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, except for getting the date wrong in Template:NRHP date for lists/dates. Thanks for helping! Magic♪piano 16:26, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TFL notification

Hi, Magicpiano. I'm just posting to let you know that Order of battle of the Battle of Trenton – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for August 3. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 02:19, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Burro Flats Boundary Decrease

Hey, you made this edit to the Burro Flats Painted Cave article stating that there was a boundary decrease but the NRHP reference number that you included does not lead to an existing NRHP page detailing the change. Could you update it with another source where the decrease was referenced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:5E80:6B20:28B2:ADCC:1077:2EDF (talk) 20:19, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NPGallery links for listings after about 2013 are known to not work. I have added a link to the weekly actions page. Magic♪piano 21:20, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hauppauge Methodist Episcopal Church

FYI, the newly registered Hauppauge Methodist Episcopal Church is actually located on the Town of Smithtown side of Town Line Road, not the Town of Islip side. I just added material to that list, including the swiping of the coordinates from your erroneous listing. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 02:45, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I figured I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Thanks for making the correction. Magic♪piano 17:20, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image crop

Hi, I'd like to update the image here with a cropped version. It's a photo of the Baptist New Meeting House, which I believe you upload to Commons. Any concern? Just thought I'd check with you first. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:15, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I've uploaded a crop of the original. Dmoore5556 (talk) 15:01, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cuyahoga County NRHP - Downtown Lakewood HD

Hi -

The NPS published the name incorrectly. The correct name is Lakewood Downtown Historic District (so it falls under L for Lakewood and not D for Downtown). I corrected the row, but I don't understand how to renumber the lines, so I undid my edit. If you could make the edit change and renumber the rows, that would be great. I am the NR nomination author if you need other proof for the edit. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catsmeowmeow (talk • contribs) 05:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Magic♪piano 16:48, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NRHP in Sumter County, FL

Just so you know, as of yesterday, the National Register of Historic Places listings in Sumter County, Florida is fully illustrated once again.

Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site

Hello, Magicpiano,

When you added or changed a template or infobox on this article, you created a nonexistent, red link category. According to WP:REDNO, this is to be avoided. So, could you either adjust the information in the article or create this category so that it fits into the existing category structure? It would be much appreciated as you would know more about the subject that editors randomly patrolling Special:WantedCategories. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anthony Braxton assessment

Hi Magic♪piano! This is going waaaay back, but I've been working on cleaning up the Anthony Braxton article for the last few months & thought I'd say hi; it's sort of horrifying how much hadn't been fixed since your assessment in 2009! At the time you were reviewing the page for the Composers project & rated it "start class". I'm not yet asking anyone for a full reassessment, as there's still a great deal that needs to be expanded, but I'm wondering if you could glance at the page again to see if the composers project class could be upgraded; I'm hesitant to do so myself given that the project doesn't use the "C-class" designation. Thanks so much! // Knifegames (talk) 00:22, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

National Register of Historic Places listings in James City County, Virginia

Strange...the formatting on that page was already broken when I looked at it, and my edit did nothing to change that (according to my view). I wonder what's going on... --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:54, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bots Newsletter, December 2021

Bots Newsletter, December 2021
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots.

Overall

  • Between September and December 2019, there were 33 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 25 were approved, and 8 were unsuccessful (Dark red X symbolN2 3 denied, Blue question mark? 3 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

September 2019

Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!
  • Green checkmarkY Monkbot 16, DannyS712 bot 60, Ahechtbot 6, PearBOT 3, Qbugbot 3 · Dark red X symbolN2 DannyS712 bot 5, PkbwcgsBot 24 · Blue question mark? DannyS712 bot 61, TheSandBot 4
  • TParis goes away, UTRSBot goes kaput: Beeblebrox noted that the bot for maintaining on-wiki records of UTRS appeals stopped working a while ago. TParis, the semi-retired user who had previously run it, said they were "unlikely to return to actively editing Wikipedia", and the bot had been vanquished by trolls submitting bogus UTRS requests on behalf of real blocked users. While OAuth was a potential fix, neither maintainer had time to implement it. TParis offered to access to the UTRS WMFLabs account to any admin identified with the WMF: "I miss you guys a whole lot [...] but I've also moved on with my life. Good luck, let me know how I can help". Ultimately, SQL ended up in charge. Some progress was made, and the bot continued to work another couple months — but as of press time, UTRSBot has not edited since November 2019.
  • Article-measuring contest resumed: The list of Wikipedians by article count, which had lain dead for several years, was triumphantly resurrected by GreenC following a bot request.

October 2019

November 2019

Now you're thinking with portals.

December 2019

In the next issue of Bots Newsletter:
What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?

  • What happens when two bots want to clerk the same page?
  • What happens when an adminbot goes hog wild?
  • Will reFill ever get fixed?
  • What's up with ListeriaBot, anyway?
  • Python 3.4 deprecation? In my PyWikiBot? (It's more likely than you think!)

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the January 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!

National Register of Historic Places listings in Valdez–Cordova Census Area, Alaska

Howdy, I noticed that a request to split the Valdez-Cordova NRHP list was made last year, but was never completed. I have created the lists for Chugach and Copper River Census Areas, which are ready to be deployed. I thought I would let you know beforehand, to be ready to update any bots that would be affected. I'll watch here for a reply. 25or6to4 (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and make the changes. I'll do what's needed after you've finished. Thanks for the heads up! Magic♪piano 15:13, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Impressive work taking pictures of NRHP sites

I've been trying to semisystematically correct the geographic coordinates of NRHP sites (concentrating on Massachusetts, perhaps more on that later). This is largely an armchair task, requiring merely to find the site in Google Street View and compare it to the Wikipedia picture. Almost without exception the pictures were taken by you, and almost without exception the picture is good enough (no trees in the way, etc.) to make a positive identification. That was an impressive amount of footwork you must have done, visiting all those sites and taking good pictures. Much appreciated. —scs (talk) 15:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You'll find that Faolin42 has also taken a great many pictures in and near Massachusetts. I've been all over New England -- thanks for the good words! Magic♪piano 01:52, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bots Newsletter, January 2022

Bots Newsletter, January 2022
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever.

Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020.

Overall
In the first half of 2020, there were 71 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 59 were approved, and 12 were unsuccessful (with Dark red X symbolN2 8 denied, Blue question mark? 2 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

UpdateNRHPProgress script not working?

I just tried to run User:Magicpiano/NRBot/UpdateNRHPProgress.js for the first time in a while, and it doesn't seem to work for me anymore; aside from logging a console message that I ran the script, the button doesn't do anything. Looking at the code, I think there's an error in the CheckPermission function; if the user who runs the script isn't an authorized user and the script isn't disabled, the function doesn't return anything, so the return value defaults to undefined and is evaluated as false.

Thanks for checking Capture of Fort Ticonderoga at URFA/2020 and marking it as satisfactory. I noticed on your user page that you nominated other articles for FAC. Can you check those other articles, and let URFA/2020 know if they still meet the FA criteria? Instructions on how to make notations at URFA/2020 are located at WP:URFA/2020.

Samuel Ferris House

You were the first one to refer to the address of this house as being at 1 Cary Street (Dec 2014) and the article has remained such to this day. I felt I should put my 2 cents in by changing it to 1 Cary Road. My mom, dad, 3 sisters and I lived in that house from 1978 until 1984 and I received a bunch of mail addressed to 1 Cary Road. It faces the Post Road separated by a guard rail about 40-50 feet away, the driveway in the back of the house is on Fitch Lane. There is a Salt Box addition at the back that serves as the bathroom. A taller person cannot stand up straight in the shower except very close to the faucet. We almost never used the front door, the one leading out of the kitchen was very old though, with double layered diagonal pine boards clench-nailed. The edge of the door had a palm print worn into it over a long time of the same person pushing the door open at the same spot. I wish I had learned more about the house back then, but I can still visualize everything about the interior, especially the ceilings shorter than I was.

Thank you for you consideration.

Image for G.W. Reed Traveler’s Home

Hi, I thought I should let you know the house pictured in the article “G.W. Reed Travelers Home” is not the correct building. It is actually a few houses over from that one, at 148 Falls Road and can be seen at Historic New England’s site, listed as the “David Reed House, Benton Falls Maine”. https://www.historicnewengland.org/explore/collections-access/gusn/166962/

Thank you. Sebasticookmaine (talk) 03:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Humph. How could I have missed that? (My identification of the house was based on that picture. I assumed it had undergone some significant alteration in intervening years.) Perhaps you could upload a picture of the correct house (I don't live anywhere near there). Magic♪piano 12:48, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I’ll see if I can get a photo and upload it. (I’m new to Wikipedia editing, but I’ll see what I can do) Thank you for working on these articles about historic houses! Sebasticookmaine (talk) 00:15, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I did manage to get a photo of the house and uploaded it. I think it worked! Sebasticookmaine (talk) 23:08, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to previous election announcement

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Story Mound error

You seem to have had success in making edits in Wikipedia, and I have not been successful. There is an entry for a mound of dirt in Saylor park created during a school construction protect that got listed as an Indian Mound named Story Mound, which is actually in Chillicothe OH. In the edit history of the page I see attempts to make corrects going back a dozen years. I would be happy to send you the documentation that I have and the chain of messages trying to get it corrected if you think you might be able to help correct the entry. Bob Coil bobcoiltrb@gmail.com Bobcoiltrb (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would strongly recommend you work with your state historic preservation office (which your local historical society should be familiar with) to get the mound delisted from the National Register, if what you claim is true. As a rule, what gets placed in Wikipedia needs to be confirmable through "public" sources; for example, if the historical society has a regular publication, it could run a story about this location, describing its history. Wikipedia editors could then use that (and/or the information surround a National Register delisting) to update the article. (I note that there is a separate location in Chillicothe that is also called "Story Mound", but I'm assuming it is unrelated to the one you describe in Sayler Park, Cincinnati.)

NRHPweekly citations

Hi Magicpiano,

a citation like <ref>{{NRHPweekly}}</ref>, which you added in e.g. [1] [2] [3], is quite unhelpful - the linked page lists hundreds of list pages, changing over time; expecting Wikipedia readers and your fellow editors to spend their time searching through these to find out where you had read the information is neither polite nor consistent with WP:CS. Next time please link directly to a page that contains the information. Regards, HaeB (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delisting question

Do you have any source for the Weyerhaeuser Office Building being delisted from the NRHP? - Jmabel | Talk 17:08, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
