HAER and HABS pics
Hey, no rush, but i wonder if you'd be willing to select from available HAER pics of bridges on the Merritt Parkway, for inclusion in each of the NRHP list-articles that include it:
- National Register of Historic Places listings in Stamford, Connecticut,
- National Register of Historic Places listings in Greenwich, Connecticut, and
- National Register of Historic Places listings in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
For example, searching on "Merritt Stamford" or such yields several candidates of Merritt Pkwy bridges going over or carrying the Merritt in Stamford, including one named something like Guinea Bridge. They're all nice.... Hope you're doing well in your current endeavors. Cheers, --doncram (talk) 00:04, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Also, if/when you have time, pls. check out HABS pics notes of availability for several items in List of Elks buildings, and one item so far at List of Masonic buildings. :) --doncram (talk) 16:01, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding the pics you've done so far! One point of confusion: the John F. Slater House is different from the Slater Memorial Museum, and only the latter is in the Chelsea Parade Historic District. Both have HABS pics available. Could you possibly upload something for the latter, for use in Chelsea Parade HD? Or maybe you are on it already. Any error is my fault; I'm trying now to correct my mistakes in the articles, when i did not have this figured out. --doncram (talk) 17:33, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
- I finshed with Merritt Parkway, Elks and Masons and the Slater Memorial Museum. All photos put on article and NRHP list as appropriate. Glad to help. KudzuVine (talk) 23:51, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! It's a big help to have the List of Elks buildings looking a bit more solid as a new list-article without a clear home wikiproject. I was also happy to add one of the pics to the Stephen C. Earle architect article (he specialized in Richardsonian Romanesque as in the Slater Memorial Museum). :) Cheers, --doncram (talk) 02:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
CT contest: Prudence Crandall House and Stephen Tyng Mather House
Hey, i have picked Prudence Crandall House and Stephen Tyng Mather House as 2 of my 3 articles to improve during a wp:CONN contest which runs for a couple months now. I wonder if u could be so kind as to upload all 3 remaining HABS pics (u did one already) for the Crandall House (which is known in HABS as Elisha Payne House) to its article, which is lengthening and will soon be able to accomodate them all nicely. I'd like to do a 5X expansion DYK in the next few days, if possible. It's a neat house architecturally but even more so historically, and it is a U.S. NHL.
Also i wonder if u could upload pics for the Stephen Tyng Mather himself, in particular the library of congress pic with antlers at "Stephen T. Mather, half-length portrait, facing right, standing next to large set of antlers". And more of the HABS Stephen Tyng Mather House pics (one already uploaded). There are 18 pics available. I haven't tried developing its article yet, but i am sure i'd like a few morepics, including the 1879 historic one and some interior pics as well as more exterior views. Not sure what the NRHP/NHL nom doc for that house will focus upon. I am more than a little vague on this, but i think this Tyng dude is responsible for the NRHP program being started! Or some such stupendous historical preservation related effort. :)
If/when you'd be available and interested to help with this, i'd be most grateful! It is incredibly much more gratifying to work on developing articles where readers and editors can see what they're talking about! Sincerely, --Doncram (talk) 05:06, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've inserted the Prudence Crandall House pics and was happy to find they portray elements of architecture discussed in the nom, discussion which would be incomprehensible to me without the pics. Now, i like the Gothic arch-shaped muntins in the over-door window, over-big-window window, and within-pediment windows. And i know what a muntin is now! Article reached 5X expansion, so is DYK eligible if i can compose a good nomination wording.
- Could you also possibly add 3 more pics i've come across? These would be the National Park Service photos 1,2,3 by Dennis Oparowski here and here. I believe those 3 are in the public domain and they would add to what i could say in the article, as they depict a side doorway also having a pediment and the rear ell which is where boarding students slept. Neither show in the HABS pics. And another interior view. I would use them all in the article proper. I guess i plan to develop more about the physical house, and maybe leave the main story about the school to be told mainly in the Prudence Crandall article about the person. Again just if u can; no problem if u can't.
- I see also that u added 2 pics for the Mather House, thanks! --Doncram (talk) 04:11, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- I loaded three photos for the Stephen Tyng Mather House. If you find another one needed for the article, tell me which one is needed. I was not thinking and gave one the name for Darian (sic) Connecticut. I have requested the name to be changed. I have no idea of how long that will take. I don't have admin rights to do it. I also tried to move the existing picture on the page to Commons, but it apparently still needs admin approval.
- The Stephen Mather photo with the deer horns is just a thumbnail. Higher resolution ones are not available on the website. They say you need to go to the LOC. I am also not sure about the rights. With no date clearly given (1910-1930), PD-old, does not work. KudzuVine (talk) 17:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Prudence Crandall House
On 14 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Prudence Crandall House, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Prudence Crandall School for Negro Girls operated in a Canterbury, Connecticut, mansion (pictured) until mob violence led to its closure? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it 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. |

Goose River Bridge
Hi, i revised the Goose River Bridge disambiguation page following your recent edit, and I created a new article about one of the bridges listed there. I wasn't clear on what your edit was doing, so have effectively reversed it. Can you please verify the dab page is now correct? Hopefully it is now clear. Edit further there or lemme know if there's anything more to be done. Thanks, --doncram 22:23, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I guess I got confused. I did find your original to be confusing. It seems that it would have been simplier to do as you now have it. KudzuVine (talk) 23:19, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Alfredo S.G. Taylor houses
Hi KudzuVine. I hope you might be interested to find and upload HABS / Library of Congress pics for NRHP-listed Rockwell House (Norfolk, Connecticut) and for Starling Childs Camp, two works by architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor, and perhaps to upload one or two of the best pics to the Taylor article. Anything along these lines would be most appreciated. Cheers, --doncram 17:24, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
P.S. Taylor was part of "Taylor & Levi" partnership, and the following url gives Library of Congress pic links, which i presume relate to a HABS survey: %26 Levi&fi=names. --doncram 17:26, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- uploaded a picture for each of the houses. They were from the LOC's Gottscho-Schleisner collection and are not very crisp. Unlike what is said in the articles, I could not find them in HABS. If they are there, they should be better resolution. I also added a photo of Alfredo S.G. Taylor on his page.KudzuVine (talk) 19:29, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Mentioned in discussion
You may wish to comment in a discussion in which you were mentioned at WT:NRHP#Comment on Straw Polls, "decisions" and consensus. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:17, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Portland NRHP
Hi, thanks for adding the infoboxes, but could you not add the county cat, as you did here, because anything categorized in a Portland cat is already in a subcat of Multnomah County. Thanks! Valfontis (talk) 19:59, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
NRHP discussion
Hi, I noticed that you are active in the NRHP WikiProject, and I was hoping that you would like to make a comment on a discussion going on there. You don't have to, but it would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is at WT:NRHP#Numbers in NRHP county lists. Thank you. Theking17825 16:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

NRHP table format
Just checking that you are aware of the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Historic_Places#Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012, concerning changing the format of the NRHP county tables. The underlying format may change, but the output in the county lists looks the same! In any case, your input could be useful. Smallbones (talk) 15:26, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
HABS
Milford (Camden, North Carolina) NRHP article could benefit from HABS / library of congress pics at http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/NC0109/, if and when you have a chance. :) --doncram 20:04, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- I uploaded one picture. Nice to see you back and contributing to the NRHP Project! KudzuVine (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks on both counts. :) And I added the pic also to National Register of Historic Places listings in Camden County, North Carolina. --doncram 23:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Balto Pics
Hi: Nice to see all the new pics being added to the Baltimore NRHP lists / articles. Do you have more to add? I ask because I was planning a day in South Baltimore and didn't want to duplicate efforts if you already have pics. BTW, what you have look great!--Pubdog (talk) 01:54, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Not many more in Southeast. These are all from a stay in Baltimore in August. I did it with walking tours from the Inner Harbor. I think most of the rest were in central Baltimore. Do not fear, there are many that I did not get to. I should get them up in a week or so.KudzuVine (talk) 02:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi ... had a day off and cruised South Baltimore. Added a bunch to National Register of Historic Places listings in South and Southeast Baltimore. Also took pics of a bunch of the wrong buildings ... oh well, I guess I have to go back! Cheers--Pubdog (talk) 21:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
- Nice to see so many more nice pictures! I won't be back in the area until ?? I took a picture or two of wrong address also and could not find a few. I have moved on to National Register of Historic Places listings in Central Baltimore and have about ten more to put up before Christmas. KudzuVine (talk) 22:06, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Notes in mainline
At National Register of Historic Places listings in Thurston County, Washington, are you sure those "Elkman" notes belong visibly in the main line of the text? That seems rather unorthodox. - Jmabel | Talk 01:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- Unless you or someone can show that they are actually on the register, the sites should be removed or put in separate categories as eligible but "owner objection." There is also one that is "pending" for a very long time. I intend to discuss these on the NRHP talk page when I get a chance. Remove the Elkman if you wish, but better yet, find the evidence that they are on the Register.KudzuVine (talk) 02:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

- I have tried to contact Elkman through his talk page but to no avail. I will just keep an eye on the two deleted categories above and fix the categorization as you place articles in those categorize as a result of using Ekman's tool as I have just done with Upper Arlington, Ohio.

Denver Mtn Parks NRHP sites
Hi, Kudzuvine. On the Denver Mountain Parks page you edited early in February, I believe one of your edits is incorrect. You wrote: "The Lookout Mountain Park and Summit Lake Park were designated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and 1995, respectively, as a result of a multiple-property submission that included fourteen parks." Note that the end of the sentence says "14 parks;" I see no need to single out and mention just two parks. Please see [1] for information on the 1990 MPS (1995 is not online). Would you please return the sentence to its original version? Thank you! --Araucana (talk) 15:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am sorry that I do not understand. The two Lookout Mountain Park and Summit Lake Park were designated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and 1995. This is true. There is the MPS that you mention in 1990. I do not know anything about a second MPS in 1995. So as far as I know, the sentence is correct. I can find no designation of the entire Denver Mountain Park system as a historic district for example. If I have missed it, please change it and give the Reference number, Name of the actual nrhp citation, and the date. Could the sentence be said better. Undoubtedly! Please give it a try. This is wikipedia, so feel free to revert the sentence, but please don't claim that entire system is listed (not just a MPS) without a refnum, name, and date that can be looked up in Focus, the Weekly list, or Elkman Infobox generator. KudzuVine (talk) 16:33, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, I reworded the sentence and updated the reference link; please see Ref #2, which has the Reference numbers for each park. Rather than list them all here, I added a link to the NRHP listing for Jefferson Co. at Wikipedia, which has the dates and all the sites; perhaps these tables should include the Ref numbers. I believe the DMP page is now consistent with the listing at the state OAHP (ref #2 above)and the county listing. The latter shows only the 13 parks and the two scenic drives in Jeffco (the other 3 are listed in Clear Creek and Douglas Co. pages). General source #2 is the 1990 documentation form itself, which lists 7 districts. I don't know why the 1995 form is not also online but I do have a hard copy of it. Thanks! --Araucana (talk) 16:00, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
- I found your weekly listings, and was able to find all the sites. Please see weekly listings for 5/21/90-5/25/90, 11/12/90-11/16/90, 12/24/90-12/28/90 (posted Jan 1991), 2/20/95-2/24/95, and 6/26/95-6/30/95. Thanks for pointing me to those-- hope this helps. --Araucana (talk) 16:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

NRHP infobox at USS North Carolina (BB-55)
Just a question. I see you added an infobox nrhp to the article at USS North Carolina (BB-55). However, this article already has one embedded in the main infobox. Is this other one you put in about something different? Otherwise, I think yours could just replace the one in the infobox as it looks more detailed. Thank you for your input. Just didn't know what the difference was. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- I see the problem. it is not the multiple embedded infoboxes, but the NRHP infobox was at the bottom. I prefer it at the top, but the bottom of the article is OK. I will remove. KudzuVine (talk) 16:05, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

KudzuVine, I have just created the page for the Hogback Covered Bridge. The website says it is listed on the National Register of Historic places. As you may recall, I am for some reason blocked from access to the site that you used as a reference. If you have time, it would be great to have your help adding references and info to this new page. I recall that you also had the know-how to make the coordinates have nice "minutes" and "seconds". Feel free to fix any weirdness that I have done in the info box. Have a good one. Lexandalf (talk) 02:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
