NRHPs in Raleigh[edit]

Hey there, I noticed this edit and wanted to let you know there's a ton of articles that need to be written for historic sites in Raleigh, Wake County, and the rest of the state. (see:List of Registered Historic Places in North Carolina) Let me know if you're interested in helping out and I'll show you how to get the infobox code. Cheers.

List of NHLs in DC[edit]

Hi. I noticed your edit to the List of NHLs in DC. That NPS "travel itinerary" is a very helpful link to add! I have created some of the DC NHL articles, and want to add the corresponding link to each one (i just amended the Cleveland Abbe House article to link to its travel itinerary page). If you want to do that for others, that would be great. I am working on some other NHL lists now, will be getting around to creating articles to complete out the DC NHL list sometime soon.

And, by the way, you're invited to join the WP:NRHP wikiproject on NRHPs, if you're interested in historic sites. Whether or not you join formally, you are very welcome to announce any new article on an NRHP that you create, in its new article announcements box on its main page. Anyhow, keep up the good work! doncram (talk) 01:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, i see you joined yesterday! Well, welcome then! And i see you've been adding other NPS webpage links to other NRHP articles, like a Brown v. Bd. of Education lesson plan link added to Moton high school, and more in your contributions history. Good stuff. doncram (talk) 01:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you like those links. There are wonderful resources.Jfknrh (talk)

(unindent) Hi again. I've spent some time creating stub articles, with some references for each one, for the List of NHLs in DC. Just now, I started John Philip Sousa Junior High School. I wonder if you would like to add similar webpage links as you did for another of the schools (i forget which) that was subject of same or another desegregation court case. And, perhaps you check to see if any Washington DC NRHP Travel Itinerary links could be added for any of the articles on the list. As I created new articles, I did try to add such links, but i did not go back to all the previously created ones. If you like. Anyhow, hope u r having a nice day... :) doncram (talk) 03:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consider it taken care of by Jfknrh (talk)

thanks!

(unindent) And i see you are at work further afield, like for Frederick A. and Sophia Bagg Bonanza Farm in North Dakota. The link you added there is a really great source, i love the diary entries included in that one. And, the link itself states its own sources properly, allowing me to find my way to add another reference (the NRHP Multiple Property Submission prepared by one Lauren McCroskey), to the Bagg Farm article and to the Bonanza farm article. Really good stuff, again. doncram (talk) 21:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth of July, or bust, Thanks![edit]

		The Fourth of July, or bust, Barnstar
		I award you this Barnstar for your solid, witty, creative, supportive, learned, timely, cheerful, eloquent, and/or otherwise generally great contributions on U. S. National Historic Landmarks' articles. Yippee o yay, we pretty much met our goal of a well-started article for each of 2,442 NHLs by today! Thanks, and have a great Fourth of July! -- Doncram, 4 July 2008

Jfknrh, thanks for enriching many NHL articles by your adding great links! Your contributions that way helped inspire me to want to get a well-started article out there, so that you and others might have a chain to add onto! Or something like that. :) doncram (talk) 16:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spam[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/

Looking at your contributions, nearly all of them. For example, Crispus Attucks High School: the link you added is to the general Indianapolis link http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/indianapolis/index.htm. Now, if you added the direct link to Crispus Attucks http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/indianapolis/crispusattucks.htm, that would have been perfectly fine. But because you added hundreds of links at once, many of which are general and in that form not specific to the topic, it seems like spam. Not being rude, but almost none of your ~600 edits have been adding to the encyclopedia rather than adding an external link. I'm sure the links themselves are fine, but they should really link directly to the relevant NPS article. I won't bug you again, but I'd really like it if you fixed the links in the previous edits you've made to have the more specific link, as shown in the Attucks example.

I still think I disagree, but I do see where you are coming from. I believe that my endeavors have been more about demonstrating the interconnected nature of sites instead of linking straight to information about the site themselves. I will consider appending the links with extra info that goes straight to the site themselves while acknowledging the overall itinerary, but I make no promise to do that immediately. Again have a good day.Jfknrh (talk) 17:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
