Pin map

Locating images on pin maps is pointless.

As soon as you click on the pin map, the spot disappears, so you are none-the-wiser. You've merely wasted time.
Clicking on the co-ordinates, however, will bring up a dozen good clear maps that will help you find the exact location.
The building is stated as being in Mechanicsburg which is linked. Towns, unlike individual buildings, do have pinmaps to locate them in the state. Over-linking is not necessary. If Mechanicsburg is properly identifiable, the a very rough location of one of its buildings within an entire state is not necessary. This follows the same MOS principal of not putting a full date after every person that is linked in an article e.g. "In 1890 the house passed into the hands of John Doe (1852-1919)". The dates are superfluous. If you want to know his dates, one click will find them.
Pin maps take up the valuable right-hand space that can generally be used for a more profitable illustration.

Picture

Winter is the ideal time to photograph buildings that have trees in front of them. Those trees are deciduous, I presume. Someone needs to trawl around the town with a camera, photographing the historic buildings before Spring blots them out again. Amandajm (talk) 00:42, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
