Hello and welcome[edit]

Hi ... Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for contributing your photos of NRHP sites and adding them to National Register of Historic Places listings in Marion County, Texas. Keep 'em comin'! By WP:NRHP convention, we size the photos in these lists at 100px. So I hope you don't mind that I've taken the liberty of modifying your edits to that table. I'm glad to see that you uploaded your photos to Commons. I suggest that when you do so, you categorize them so they're not sort of orphaned out there in the vast sea of images on Commons. Here again, I've taken the liberty of adding some categories that I routinely use for my photos: any NRHP-related categories that apply, geographic location (city/town/county/state) and the year the structure was built (assuming I know it).

With regard to the Marsh Place, in spite of what the sign in front of the building says, I don't think it's actually listed on the National Register. Neither the National Park Service NRIS database nor the Texas Historical Commission database has it listed on the NRHP. Do you have any documentation to the contrary (other than the sign, that is)? --sanfranman59 (talk) 20:04, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note on my talk page and my apologies for making an assumption about your gender (I saw Rene in your user name and drew the wrong conclusion ... sorry about that!). The primary source I use for information about sites listed on the National Register is the National Register database itself and the weekly announcements of actions taken on properties by the National Register. I also consult resources available on states' historic preservation office web sites ... in this case, the Texas Historical Commission Atlas. I also occasionally email or call the state historic preservation office.

I think the source of confusion here is in the difference between a listed property and contributing resources to an historic district. By the National Park Service definition, a listed property may be a district, site, building, structure or object of historic, architectural, archaeological or cultural significance. Historic districts are considered to be listed properties. A contributing resource is defined by the NPS as "a building, site, structure, or object adding to the historic significance of a property" and is not considered to be a listed property (unless it has been nominated and listed individually). The state, county and city/town NRHP tables out here on Wikipedia only include individually listed resources. So we list historic districts as individual entries in the tables, but not the contributing properties to those districts (unless they are also individually listed). Several of the photos you added to the Marion County list are not individually listed properties. Rather, they are contributing properties to the Jefferson Historic District. User:25or6to4 created a new page for the historic district and included your photos there.

I join 25or6to4 in thanking you for your contributions to Wikipedia and encouraging you to visit the NRHP project page. Also, please feel free to ask questions/make comments on my talk page. I'm glad you've decided to join us here and look forward to your continued participation. --sanfranman59 (talk) 22:29, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good work![edit]

Morning!

Thanks for all the images you've uploaded and added to the various Texas historic places pages and tables. You are making some great progress! I have a request for you. When you copy the image after uplodaing it and paste it into one of the tables, can you change the |thumb| part of it to |100px| , so that the tabes are formatted consistently? If you have any questions, feel free to come over to the National Register of Historic Places Wikiproject and let us know on the discussion page, or ask me on my talk page. Look forward to more of your works! 25or6to4 (talk) 17:03, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Texas and Pacific 610[edit]

Welcome as a member of WP:NRHP[edit]

Renelibrary,

Welcome to being an official member of WP:NRHP! I see from the above comments that you've been working on NRHP stuff for awhile and thanks for all the photo contributions. It's especially important for us to add Texas photos, because we've been a bit weak in the state. You might want to participate at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest, which ends Dec. 4.

This user has photographed

sites on the
National Register of Historic Places

One small thing about your user page: there's nothing on it! This causes the link in your signature to the page to be red - which identifies you as a newby. That's not bad (for awhile), but putting anything on your user page, causes the red-link to go away. I'll even suggest putting my favorite userbox on the page. see right. Just use the text {{ User:Smallbones/userbox2|# }} where # is the number of sites you've photographed (I just count the number that I've added to the county lists - but that's just my personal preference). With a little bit of work, I should even be able to remember how you can make your own personal box, with your own photo in it.

In short, welcome and let me know how I can help in any way.

Vogel Belt Complex[edit]

Hey there, I saw you posted a picture of the Vogel Belt Complex in San Antonio today. Problem si that I don't think that building is the Vogel Belt Complex. The street address is an odd number, which should be on the west side of the street. I think the correct building is the stretch of buildings just west of the City Hall, just south of the Spanish Governor's palace. I did a foot survey of downtown a couple months ago, and that seemed to be the right location and address numbers. There are no TX plaques or anything on any of the buildings, though, so I'm not totally sure. Do you have any others pictures of San Antonio coming? I took a few to fill in gaps, but forgot to post them. 25or6to4 (talk) 05:00, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Commons Categories[edit]

Hello Rene,

I was over at Wikimedia Commons looking at images you posted for various hill country schools and for Sisterdale, Texas, because those involve articles I created. First of all, thank you for those images. Secondly, I corrected a couple of categories you have them under. By now, maybe you've figured out that categories are case sensitive. For categories Historic schools in Texas, you also had Historic Schools in Texas, creating two separate categories. Also, for Historic districts in Texas (which already existed), you also had Historic Districts in Texas. In both cases, I tried to narrow the images under just one category each.

Also, and I'm kind of new at creating categories over at Commons, I thought I'd give you a heads-up on the creation process. After you create a new category by adding it at the bottom of an image, then click the red link it created. What that does is open up an Edit Window for you to type in an explanation. I did that for you on Historic schools in Texas. After you type in whatever you want, just click "Save Page". That changes the red link to blue, and the category is created.

If I can help you with anything, let me know. — Maile (talk) 00:52, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I realize everybody has their own style. It's really helpful when you load an image on Commons if you note in the Summary where the subject is located. And I'm sure you've already found out that counties in Texas have an NRHP category over at Commons. Just as a suggestion, I edited the Summary on image Commons:File:CentralTrustComp1.jpg with a style I've noticed some other editors using for NRHP subjects. And if Wikipedia county lists don't have the NRHP number, I find a helpful website is this one: Landmark Hunter — Maile (talk) 14:18, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Burton Commercial Historic District, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Burton, Texas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

National Register of Historic Places listings in Collin County, Texas[edit]

I know the online NRHP listing says "301 E. Lamar" in McKinney but the coordinates point at 301 W. Lamar and there's a historic house (complete with plaque from the state of Texas) at 301. W. Lamar but only an empty lot with no indication of importance at 301 E. Lamar. Since they have yet to digitize these records, could this be a simple typo? I'm planning a photo hunt through Collin County on the next sunny day so it would be nice to know what to shoot. - Dravecky (talk) 04:54, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Labeling images at Commons[edit]

Renelibrary,

You take really excellent photos. If would be really helpful if when you are uploading them to Commons you identify more specifically what you have photographed. I just added details to each of your Dec 2012 images of Sisterdale, Texas. They are beautifully done, but you have not identified them as anything but the Sisterdale Valley District. Well, they aren't really, when you read the description of the NRHP Sisterdale Valley District. What you took photos of are the fire station, a road sign, and the buildings/grounds of the dance hall.

I've noticed you do that elsewhere. For instance, the town of Burton, Texas. Nice photos, but what are we looking at? When editors want to use a photo, or add a category over at Commons, it's really helpful to have the specifics. Thank you for the images, but please tell us what we are looking at. — Maile (talk) 15:08, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reneelibrary -- THANK YOU for adding pics. I gotta say, Maile, you are out of line, IMHO, to complain. The source you point to, Maile, does in fact give support to the dance hall being part of the Sisterdale Valley District. And, Reneelibrary did great to contribute what they did; frankly it is very hard to find anything good on the internet about what the Sisterdale Valley District is. I just started Sisterdale Valley District as a section in the Sisterdale, Texas article. I think Reneelibrary did great to take and upload pics, and to include Commons Category of "Sisterdale, Texas" on them. It's true that if one of us went and got the actual full, free NRHP nomination document for the district (by following instructions at wp:NRHPhelp), that then a better article could be written. I hope the NRHP nomination document includes a map and a lot more detail than we know about now. But I think this is a good start, and I believe, in advance, that all of Reneelibrary's photos are in fact of structures in the very large Sisterdale Valley District. Thanks for contributing them! Keep up the good work! Also, please consider commenting at wt:NRHP#Images uploaded at Commons, which Maile opened (and neglected to inform you about, as far as I can tell). --do ncr am 21:43, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to e-mail[edit]

Hello Rene—Please don't mind if I reply to your e-mail here; I'm somewhat reluctant to disclose my real-world identity, and I've never got around to creating a WP-only mail account.

In response to your question, I was recruited to photograph for WikiProject NRHP by User:Nyttend. As a new editor, I'd inserted some OR in the article on a small town in Nebraska; he'd tagged it with a citation-needed label; I questioned the tag; and in the course of the ensuing conversation, he suggested that if I had a camera, it might be a good thing to shoot some of the NRHP sites in Nebraska. Things took off from there. If you're interested in the original dialogue, one side of it's here and the other half is here; unfortunately, it's one of those conversations where each was writing on the other's talk page, so it's not collected in a single place.

If you'd like to know more, please feel free to reply here; I'll keep this page on my watchlist for a while, so you won't need to notify me at my talk page. Hope this information's useful to you, and good luck with the presentation-- to whom, if I may ask? Ammodramus (talk) 23:24, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wharton-Scott House[edit]

Hello. Thank you for creating this page. I am working on the Waggoner family right now. I have created Daniel Waggoner and William Thomas Waggoner so far, and will create Waggoner Ranch later today. I have created a redirect from Thistle Hill because at first, I didn't know the house came by the name you used. However, many sources tend to suggest Thistle Hill is the most commonly used name for the house, including two books about it. Would you agree?

Hey, Renelibrary, I noticed the above and guessed it was NRHP-listed. I added an NRHP infobox to the article and have "promoted" it to mainspace, Burton Farmers Gin. I do understand why the AFC submission was not accepted, because it had no sources included in the article and you hadn't used the fact that it was NRHP-listed, which would be convincing.

About NRHP infoboxes, do you know there is a handy tool which creates them for you, all filled out with details for a given place? (At least for NRHP's listed before some date in 2010). See wp:NRHPhelp#NRIS and find the "infobox creator" there. --do ncr am 07:50, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied text from Starr Family Home State Historic Site to Starr House (Marshall, Texas) (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. If it was your intention to move the page to a new title, this is not the way to do it. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. Please let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:36, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fry-Barry House[edit]

Hi, thanks for creating article with nice photo, for Fry-Barry House, which i randomly happened to notice, and to which I added a NRHP/National Archives reference. In the article you mention the current owner, for which i wonder what is the source. I didn't check extremely carefully, but i don't think that info is in the NRHP document (and then it would only be true as of 1977). I'm not sure in general about mentioning current owners of properties in NRHP articles, so i wonder if that fact should be dropped or sourced as of a certain date. Anyhow, thanks again, glad you're out adding pics and articles. cheers, --do ncr am 10:28, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NRHP listings in Harrison County, Texas[edit]

Thank you for your NRHP articles, like James Turner House, Hochwald House, and Hagerty House. It's really great to have these articles!

I've reviewed each of these articles and noticed a trend in terms of edits I've made to the articles:

The NRHP infobox can be updated to include the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - See this edit. I also added it to the body of the article, but that's not necessary. See https://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/ to see if it's a RTHL. It seems to be better to use just one word in the search, like Turner, and the county from what I can tell.
It's nice to ensure that Category:Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks is added, if applicable.
To increase exposure to the article, it's also good to link the relevant articles to List of Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks - and any other articles that mention the house
http://www.sfasu.edu/heritagecenter/4042.asp is a good source. I've added it as an external link to the articles, and at least in one case used one of the documents as a source.
The content in the body of the article should be cited with citations. One tool to help with that is to use templates, like {{Cite web}} or the WP:ProveIt tool. (At the bare minimum, you can just add the url and you or someone else can format it using WP:ReFill.)

If you want help with the next article to properly format citations or anything else, let me know, I'd be happy to help.–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DeSoto Parish pics[edit]

Thanks for adding beautiful pics just now, for many at National Register of Historic Places listings in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. I'm glad of the coincidence, because i have been expanding and creating articles there in the last few days. :) Cheers, --do ncr am 05:23, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Allen House (Keachi, Louisiana) might possibly be the house in the woods off from the corner of Phillips Road & Phillips Lane, at 32°09′35″N 93°53′25″W / 32.159613°N 93.890309°W, fairly close to Keachi Presbyterian Church which you must have visited. Based on coordinates given in NRIS, which are close to there. I can't tell much from Google satellite view, but it seems possibly to be that house. If that's so, it would require going onto private land to get a picture. I personally have had luck usually when I could find anyone to ask for permission, in order to take a pic for Wikipedia, but not always. Did you happen to try to get there already, or is it possible you could get back, I wonder? Anyhow, I am happy to redirect my article-creating efforts sometimes to work in advance of someone going to an area to take pics, in order to help sort out location info; this worked well i think with User:Bubba73 for some counties in Georgia that he was going to visit. Let me know if there are any parishes/counties you're more interested in than others. --do ncr am 15:46, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

two Fort Worth buildings[edit]

I only just today saw your email from a while ago, and replied. I edited at Farmers and Mechanics National Bank and at First National Bank Building (Fort Worth, Texas). They seem similar, confusing, as nearby and with same architectural firm. It seems to me that you had the two of them partly mixed up. Hopefully it works now. It would be great if you could develop them more using the NRHP documents that I added to them, using the National Archives Catalog copies (i follow my own advice at wp:NRHPHELP to get those). Glad to see you contributing. --Doncram (talk) 19:39, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Milford, Texas[edit]

Thank you for adding photos to the Wiki page for Milford, Texas. I did notice that the photos you uploaded are watermarked with a copyright. Per WP:WATERMARK, images should not have credits or other visible watermarks. Attribution should be (and is) on the image description page for each image. Could you please upload copies of these images without watermarks, as new versions? If not, I can crop and re-upload the images to remove the watermarks, but cropping would remove a portion of the image in the process, which is not ideal. Thanks, Danazar (talk) 18:31, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at National Register of Historic Places listings in Dallas County, Texas, you may be blocked from editing. Stop adding images which promote your website, per WP:WATERMARK. You have been cautioned about this already. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:09, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry guys.

Your uploads to the Commons[edit]

Hello,

I work mainly on the Commons and I have noticed that you have difficulty with categorization there. I am no expert on Texas but I will try to find editors there who are. Meanwhile, I have been putting your uploads in appropriate Commons categories where those familar with Texas can take it from there. On the Commons you can find me at My user page on Commons. If you are uploading more images, do contact me there. Otherwise, your photographs end up in no category at all and that is a shame since they are wonderful images! Best wishes, Krok6kola (talk) 20:07, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Renelibrary, Unfortunately, you are continuing to upload images to categories on the commons that either do not exist, e.g. Category:Historic buildings in Denton County, Texas deleted in November 2020 by Commons:User:A.Savin or to other categories that violate Commons category rules. Doing this results in your images being uncategorized at all unless I keep my eye on those cats you use and put them somewhere that at least has a category. You can always go to the Help desk on the Commons and ask what to do and how to categorize correctly on the Commons, or ask A.Savin who is an Administrator there. Best, Krok6kola (talk) 13:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is Renelibrary. I have been using Historic buildings in Denton County, Texas for years. Why is it an issue now?

Texas regions functionality[edit]

I've posted a demonstration at wt:NRHP (specifically at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places#Texas regions) about presenting Texas NRHPs grouped in 12 regions, which I think will help NRHP editors in Texas. Previously I myself was very frustrated trying to find and address, say, the scattered NRHP sites in the Texas Panhandle. I pinged some other Texas editors. Perhaps you could take a look too.
