about using Talk page in Wikipedia
5-10-19 Talk isn't working how I thought it would. Not obvious where this should have been entered in the process below or if this is where the comment belongs.
 * Hi, I edited this section into a "proper" format, i.e. having a header that is coded as "==TEXT==", so it appears reasonably in the somewhat odd "wikimedia language", which I think is the name for the HTML-type coding we do here.
 * Thanks for contributing recently, and I see you have been an editor for quite a long time. I happen to edit mostly on topics of National Register of Historic Places-listed historic sites, and corresponding list-articles.  Feel free to contact me at my Talk page anytime. --Doncram (talk) 04:31, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant
"Hennepin_Island_Hydroelectric_Plant" had quite a few errors, including:
 * the picture is of the "Main Street Station"
 * some errors, strangely, likely come from the owner - NSP
 * "1882" is for the Brush Electric plant - long gone
 * "site of early sawmills" is the Main Street Station

I created a much longer article. I moved a the draft of that to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Anthony_Falls_Hydroelectric_Development

"Hennepin_Island_Hydroelectric_Plant" was moved to "Draft:Hennepin_Island_Hydroelectric_Plant" - also associated talk The intent is to preserve some information - primarily about the Water Power Park - which doesn't have an article/section yet.

The redirect for "Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant" was changed from "Draft: Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant" to "St. Anthony Falls Hydroelectric Development#Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant_1908"

I am surprised that a Wikipedia search for "Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant", the "St. Anthony Falls Hydroelectric Development" line goes to the article, not the section - "St. Anthony Falls Hydroelectric Development#Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant_1908" BudKey (talk) 18:25, 10 May 2019 (UTC) --- 5-26-2019 Some of the sections in this article should be in Categories. I do not see any way to put other than a whole article in Categories. Categories, which was copied from the original Henn Island Hydroelectric, are deleted.

 * About the Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant, there is some discussion now about it at wt:NRHP, the Talk page of the NRHP Wikiproject. I personally think the original article should be moved back to where it was, and developed/expanded, perhaps with material you have created.  Although it should link to the current target of the redirect you set up, and the current target should be edited to be just a summary of the longer separate article.  One reason is to respect the past, valid contributions of numerous editors since 2007.  If this reorganization were done, I would then v. much want you to contribute to developing both.  Would you terribly mind if I took a stab at doing this? --Doncram (talk) 04:31, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Inappropriate page move
Your move of Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant to Draft:Hennepin Island Hydroelectric Plant in order to create a redirect from the former to a section in your own article about the topic, St. Anthony Falls Hydroelectric Development, was an inappropriate page move, cf. WP:DRAFTIFY. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places that Doncram mentions in order to resolve the matter. I have posted a welcome message and an invitation to the Teahouse at the top of your talk page. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page.

Orphaned non-free image File:St. Anthony Falls-west bank mill district ca.1965.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:St. Anthony Falls-west bank mill district ca.1965.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 15:29, 7 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I removed the image from an article (I had added it to the article) because it is impossible to say "there is no free equivalent". I understand "free content" to be much tighter than "fair use". The source allows the image to be used (doesn't even require "fair use"), but Wikipedia does not because the source limits to non-commercial. IMHO under Wikipedia rules it is not possible to use the image - it would have to be fairly unique. My intent was that the image be deleted. I think "free content" rules are excessive (including reducing the resolution of the image, which seems to accomplish nothing in this case). BudKey (talk) 17:40, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
