Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Fairfield County, Connecticut

One or two Weir sites
I reversed the removal of one of the two Weir related NRHP listings. The two areWeir Farm National Historic Site and J. Alden Weir Farm Historic District, which wikilink to the same article. As far as I can tell, it is not known that these are exactly the same areas, and even if they were I think it would probably still be appropriate to keep both the listings listed here. They are both listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It probably is appropriate for there to be just one article, but the information about both names and the details of the separate listings areas, etc., are not known or reflected in the article. doncram (talk) 03:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you believe it makes more sense to list them separately, I'm not going to challenge it any more -- as long as no one tries to make two separate articles. There is only one site that happens to span two towns. The site was originally nominated by just the town of Ridgefield. It was only a few years later that the town of Wilton agreed to list their portion of the site. --Polaron | Talk 13:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that separate entries always need separate articles, but as long as they're separate on the NRHP, they should have separate lines here. Find two listings for the same site, such as this, and I'll oppose having separate articles.  You can find a similar case with the two Ambridge entries in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

using a photo twice
I added photo of Thomas Hawley House to illustrate the Ridgefield Center Historic District NRHP item too, so it is used twice. That's not illegal or anything, as far as i know. If a different photo shows up that would serve well, i would support using that, but showing the same photo twice is also okay, showing visually that there is overlap, that this house is in both listings. Other thots? doncram (talk) 06:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Therefore, it makes it seem as if the house and the district are the same thing. Nyttend (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

article development drive
There's an article development drive going on to create separate articles for Fairfield NRHP-listed places, and to develop them otherwise. It may involve just a few editors, including one locally who has agreed to take pictures and upload, but others are invited to join in! This county was chosen in discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Connecticut. Currently there are about 65 redlinks on the list-page, out of 198 entries; i've already created a bunch. Photos, development of writing from NRHP docs, finding additional sources, all would be welcomed. --doncram (talk) 21:05, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

neighborhood mentions
I've started editing this list-article to provide descriptions for some of the listed places. In the process, i think it's useful to remove the neighborhood mentions that have been in place in the description column, moving them instead to the location column. They seem to be about location, or perhaps spam-like in advertising about neighborhood articles, and do not describe the distinctiveness of the NRHP listed places. This is sort of an issue for Connecticut list-articles specifically, where more specific location information was previously removed from column now reserved for Town only. Anyhow, I moved multiple mentions of South Norwalk, will wait a bit for any other comments, then otherwise move mentions of other neighborhoods. Note, also, the location information is captured in the coordinates and is viewable in linked Google map. --doncram (talk) 19:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll move the Byram and Cos Cob neighborhood mentions now. --doncram (talk) 10:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

to split out Stamford and Greenwich as separate lists
The current list-article is rather long with 203 listings, covering all of the county except for Bridgeport (in National Register of Historic Places listings in Bridgeport, Connecticut). Also i am finding it a pain to visit the Stamford articles to add a reference on the Stamford churches covered in a multiple property submission (such as Zion Lutheran Church (Stamford, Connecticut), as sorting by town does not "stick" if you click away and then come back. I am inclined to split out the 32 or so Stamford entries to National Register of Historic Places listings in Stamford, Connecticut now.  And/or, is there any other sensible way to split the county geographically? --doncram (talk) 16:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Stamford has about 32, including Merritt Parkway, and Greenwich also has about 32. Others have 12 or fewer i think.  So i'll also expect to split out National Register of Historic Places listings in Greenwich, Connecticut. --doncram (talk) 16:18, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
