Request Edit A

 * Please add the following section, text, and image after the Boronda History Center section.



The registration for the Jose Eusebio Boronda Adobe as a historic resource dates back to March 15, 1974. A commemorative plaque that designates this site as California Historical Landmark #870 was placed by the California State Parks in cooperation with the Monterey County Historical Society and the Monterey Bay Chapter A.1.A. on May 18, 1974. The marker is located in front of the Adobe. The inscription on the marker reads: "Built between 1844 and 1848 by José Eusebio Boronda, this is an outstanding example of a Mexican-era rancho adobe. Virtually unaltered since its construction, it shows many features of the 'Monterey Colonial' style which resulted from the fusion of New England and California building traditions during California's Mexican period."

Whatever you requested should be directly supported by the source provided within the request and in this case, I looked at it and what I have removed was not supported.

The registration for the Jose Eusebio Boronda Adobe as a historic resource dates back to March 15, 1974. A commemorative plaque that designates this site as California Historical Landmark #870 was placed by the California State Parks in cooperation with the Monterey County Historical Society and the Monterey Bay Chapter A.1.A. on May 18, 1974. The marker is located in front of the Boronda Adobe Historic Center in Salinas, California.

The inscription on the marker reads: "Jose Eusebio Boronda Adobe CASA Built between 1844 and 1848 by José Eusebio Boronda, this is an outstanding example of a Mexican-era rancho adobe.

 * You've been around for a long time, and have been told numerous times about WP:RS, such as the use of personal websites/self published sources and user generated contents, such as http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/ you proposed to be introduced as as source. The description on the page reads (bolding emphasis added by me):
 * "When I began my quest, the only information I had to work with were the directions listed in the Office of Historic Preservation print guidebook and a bundle of maps from AAA. Now, with Google Street view and GPS locations, it's much harder to get lost looking for landmarks. So this site might be of less use than it once was.  Even so, I hope you find the information here useful. I have attempted to keep information about landmark plaques and site locations up to date and accurate.  Over time, plaques go missing, are added, or other events happen to these sites.  Also, I'm sure there are mistakes on my pages, so feel free to let me know if you see one" Graywalls (talk) 21:32, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, lets remove that one. What about the rest. There is a lot of info on this landmark and it deserves image and text provided. Greg Henderson (talk) 21:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

, and whoever else. I have chosen to ping the three of you as you are familiar with the Pebble Beach/Monterey/Carmel-by-the-Sea walled garden type articles. I have declined as explained above and requested a discussion take place here. My reasoning to decline was that contents sought to be introduced by Henderson in the first request was not supported and the follow up sources they came up with are flimsy. Name dropping collaborating organizations and citing the organization itself, or the use of personal websites introduces undue weight issues. Graywalls (talk) 21:41, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the proposal. The text and inscription is coming from the image that is included as part of this request. Please review the text on the plaque to see that it corresponds to the text in the request. Greg Henderson (talk) 03:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * , again you're just re-submitting what you're wanting to include, apparently until someone approves it. The inclusion of cooperation with the Monterey County Historical Society and the Monterey Bay Chapter A.1.A. on May 18, 1974 that only cites the participants' own website is undue. If the only places that talk about it are participants or personal websites, it's likely not worth mentioning it and essentially just serves to get their names out there. Graywalls (talk) 03:24, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Look at the image I included in this request edit. The text is coming directly from the plaques inscription. The text in the image should be allowed as it provides the source for the text. Greg Henderson (talk) 03:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be opposed to adding the image alone to the article. As the text printed on the plaque in the image speaks for itself, there would be no need to place the text (or reference it) in the article. Regards, Spintendo  03:05, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
