Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Buffalo, New York

progress like crazy
Wow, this article is almost onto wp:NRHP. I see only one photo missing right now in quick glance. Pubdog has been busy....! I suppose Buffalo, slightly larger, will push down Syracuse on that list. :( Nice job also on filling out neighborhood column for all. doncram (talk) 21:04, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the kind comments. Silly me, I missed one on my recent visit.  I have feelers out to see whether a pic can be had, otherwise won't be full illustrated until my next visit.--Pubdog (talk) 22:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Neighborhood names
76.180.123.71, we have been over this time and time again in edit summaries and on your talk page to no avail. So I'm going to lay this issue out for you one last time here on the article talk page, just so I have all my bases covered before taking this up at the Administrators' Noticeboard.

Once again, the neighborhood names that you are adding to the listings in this article do not represent actual neighborhoods as locals know them. They are entities invented by Pitney Bowes, a technology firm that uses data that's "flawed and two decades out of date" to arbitrarily carve neighborhoods out of cities, and then sells that data to "dozens of popular websites and apps, from Zillow and Grubhub to TripAdvisor, Redfin, Zocdocs and Uber", despite the fact that the company has no actual connection to or familiarity with the Buffalo area. I have repeatedly referred you to an article in the Buffalo News that has documented this very phenomenon and the problems that arise from it, which is where the quotes earlier in this paragraph came from, and which in fact debunks the existence of some of the very same supposed neighborhoods whose names you insist on re-inserting into this article. And the fact that Google searches for Buffalo neighborhood names like "Johnson" and "Bryant" turn up a whole bunch of results from Zillow, Redfin et al. but absolutely none from locally based sources (other than the above-mentioned Buffalo News article itself) is further evidence of what I'm talking about. Yet you continue reverting my corrections without ever addressing the points I've brought up. That needs to end.

In your edit summaries, you've said several times that you're "a kid that has lived his whole life in Buffalo". You have also given several edit summaries such as "the tennis and squash club is again not in the Elmwood village; it is south of it in Bryant" or "the radiator complex is actually located in North Delaware", which merely repeat your earlier claims without bothering to address the counterpoints I made above. Please understand that those statements don't magically become true simply because of how long you claim to have lived in Buffalo, or simply through force of repetition. They only become true when you provide reliable, published sources to back them up. And I would love for you to provide me with such a source - again, a reliable source, which means one that's not based on Pitney Bowes' dubious information, which most likely means one that originates in the local area. But I have a feeling that's not going to happen, because that's exactly what I've been inviting you to do all along and yet after all this time you still haven't. So I'm asking you one more time, please either stop your edits of this nature, or at least provide a logical response to the issues I've raised here before continuing with them.

Links to actual NR nominations?
Now that National Register nominations are increasingly online in full text, is there a way to amend the table to provide links to them? This is beyond my editing chops. Guybrarian (talk) 11:59, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
