welcome to WikiProject National Register of Historic Places
Hi -- Welcome to WikiProject National Register of Historic Places, from a fellow member. I noticed you stated interest in sites in upstate New York as well as in MA, CT, VT. I and a few others have been working hard over time on the List of National Historic Landmarks in New York, effectively an honor roll of NRHPs in the state. I also have been working on List of Registered Historic Places in Onondaga County, New York. Could you please take a look at either or both of them, and consider if you could add to the lists or to any of their articles? There are similar NHL and NRHP lists for CT, VT, MA, too, all with lots of red-links to address and stub articles to develop further.... If you could use help finding sources or anything, feel free to post a note on the WP:NRHP talk page or on my talk page. Cheers, doncram (talk) 19:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again, got your message. Thanks for your kind words.  Nice pic for the John Trumbull Birthplace, too, and thanks for adding it to the List of NHLs in CT, too.  To clarify, the lists of NHLs in New York State and List of National  Historic Landmarks in Connecticut are complete lists;  I already made sure to create an article for each one.  As you can observe, there would be much to add to most of those articles however, and the short descriptions in the list pages sure need help.  And it would be really great if you could snap pics for sites like the Saratoga Spa State Park and St. Paul's cathedral as you mentioned you might be able to do.  We hope to get a pic for every NHL in NYS, as part of preparing to nominate the list to "Featured List" status.  But there are no NHLs to add to those lists until any new ones are designated.


 * On the other hand, there are many NRHPs which are not also NHLs that are lacking articles. All of the NRHPs are probably listed, e.g. via List of Registered Historic Places in New York, then choose a county to drill down into.  But most of the sites are "red-links" with no articles yet.  You can create a new article for any one of them that you are interested in, then announce that you have done so in the New articles listing on the mainpage of the WP:NRHP.  I sometimes announce stub articles there that don't have a pic yet, but most others announcing new articles there don't create an article until they have a pic to include in it.  To find a NRHP to start with, try browsing any one of the county-wide lists of sites with addresses, like List of NRHPs in Onondaga County, New York, but change the county name in the URL to one you are interested in.  You could take a pic, then create the article.  There's a useful tool, the Elkman NRHP infobox generator, which creates the NRHP infobox for a new page, which you cut and paste into your new article.


 * Is that too much information right away? I have more, and am enthusiastic to have a new New York wikipedian involved. cheers, doncram (talk) 21:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Albany, New York)‎
Nice photo for St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Albany, New York)‎. I noticed it being added to the List of NHLs in New York. I've had trouble keeping the very top of a steeple included into pics of similarly shaped churches, glad you got it all in! Thanks so much for filling in this gap in the NYS NHLs list. cheers, doncram (talk) 00:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * P.S. Go ahead and announce it in the list of new photos at WP:NRHP, by all means. doncram (talk) 01:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Got your reply and question. I think it helps most to add the additional pictures to the article right away, even though it may look strange for the article to be so short relatively.  Challenges, motivates, and/or makes it easier for others -- or you! -- to improve the text, too.  Saves time to advertise that the pics are available right away.  I notice another new wikipedian has added multiple pics into NYS NHL articles that are otherwise very short, at Willard Memorial Chapel-Welch Memorial Hall and William H. Seward House.  I like how that person added them in thumbnails and wrote short thumb explanations for each one.  Less nice are my own pics of building and of a plaque for Utica Psychiatric Center.  Note how currently awkward is their placement in the article.  Another alternative is to put them in as a gallery, but I like the multiple small thumbnail format, as it should be easier to move them around left right center, for better placement as the article evolves.  Please do add your additional pics, i for one would like to see them. :) I am really enjoying getting to see real pics of these places i have been wondering about. doncram (talk) 02:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The gallery presentation is fine. I was worrying that the short descriptions you might create would not be included in a gallery, but i see you were able to write and include them in the gallery format.  It does motivate me to extend the article.

I like that u explain from where u took the pic from above. I like your plaque photo as it is an informative plaque. Contrast to my plaque photo included in Wilcox Octagon House, where there is just a generic "This is a NRHP" statement, not customized to the house at all. The only thing that plaque adds, really, is that it does show the true current color of the housepaint, behind it, while the overall view pic of the house is not colored right. Anyhow, I learn from yours, and am glad u included it. :) doncram (talk) 04:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

other Albany area pic or two?
FYI, the List of National Historic Landmarks in New York has gathered numerous other photos by various wikipedians recently. I notice in the Albany and Schenectady counties, that James Hall Office and Irving Langmuir House look like the easiest ones yet to be added, out of those lacking any pictures of their sites. Any pics that are merely of a historic person associated with the site, ought to be replaced, and also the old B&W pics for other sites (some of which I added) oughta be replaced too. Hope u r well. cheers, doncram (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, i only just now noticed you had added a pic for the General Electric Research Laboratory article. Thanks!  Your label calls it "iconic" and that it is a "plant" not a laboratory.  How sure are you that it is the research lab building, for inclusion in this article?  I just wonder if we should describe it as a building in the vicinity of the research lab, or that it "may be" the research lab.  P.S.  Nice work you have done on List of National Historic Landmarks in Massachusetts! doncram (talk) 00:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

new pic for Old Blenheim Bridge etc
Hi there. Would be very happy to get a new, color pic of Old Blenheim Bridge, and same for many other articles where have just a black&white HABS pic. I think it is always helpful to have several pics of a site, and would always want a recent one to be part of an article, if possible. I note, above, that someone is targeting a pic of urs of a plaque. That is happening all over now, it seems we do not have freedom of panorama or something like that here in the U.S., so artworks and plaques which have any originality cannot generally be photographed and published, and so we seem to be losing these all. There is some discussion about this in talk page for WP:NRHP. I made a point to write out the text on ur Albany church plaque in the church talk page i think, to capture the text at least, for that one, where the plaque pic was especially helpful i thot. Not sure what the Gibson house pic is for, but too bad it is likely toast, too. regards, doncram (talk) 05:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Got your response. The most thorough discussion on plaques that i've seen recently, is one that i chimed in on, at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Moundsplaque.jpg. Yes the plaque has to have some originality, i think that is mentioned in the possibly-lawyerly-type comments.  If the Gibson one is a NPS / other Federal plaque, then you should explain that and then it would survive the attack, as the Federal text would be in the public domain.  The ones failing have been Minnesota state ones and local ones, as far as i know, where it seems we might have to get explicit permissions/releases of the material into public domain.  doncram (talk) 07:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Historic plaques
I also find the stance (of deleting photographs of historical markers) ridiculous. This website even makes money from them - although it's not clear whether they were all put up by the Federal Government or not. These seem to be non-profits: and. The ones that I had removed were all post-1978 (thus not covered by Template:PD-Pre1978), and erected by the Minnesota Historical Society and branches of the state of Minnesota. It seems to me that I could quote the exact text of the plaque with attribution, and that would be legal (if not according to WP:Style). So why can't I post a photograph of a plaque of the same words, with the source clearly visible in the photo? This one Image:Moundsplaque.jpg is still under discussion at WP:Commons. I asked the Deleter about Image:Priestley Burning Lens Replica.jpg and Image:Smithwick's billboard NYC May 2005 Wikipedia.jpg (why are they acceptable) and got highly hypocritical answers (here: User talk:Appraiser). Thanks for your interest - I find the whole issue extremely frustrating and discouraging.--Appraiser (talk) 14:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

to nominate List of NHLs in NY to FL
Hi! Thanks for adding the Kate Mullany House pic. I was just visiting the List of NHLs in NY article. With recent completion by Lvklock of descriptions editing in it, i want to put it up for wp:FL now. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to take care of first. I trust this meets with your approval. cheers, doncram (talk) 23:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, how about that? I have to go to Albany on Monday and was going to get that while I was there. Did you take any sort of views looking at it from an angle so you can see both the front and side? The way it is at the NHS website? I always try to shoot buildings that way if the light and space permits (see John Brown House, Bridge Street Historic District and Thomas Nast Home, for a few examples from my own work). You reveal more of the architecture, and it's more visually interesting. A basic principle of photographic composition that I don't see in enough NRHP pics. Just for future reference. Daniel Case (talk) 02:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I know that part of Troy, or at least of Route 7 (I think I should get the Collar City Bridge, too, like I got the Congress Street Bridge on a previous trip). It's just above the road. But Hudson Valley got a similar shot a couple of issues ago, so it's not impossible. I bet you could do it on Sunday mornings, the least-trafficked time of week. I'll see what I can do on Monday. Daniel Case (talk) 02:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I got that picture (it's in the article now), as well as a new one of Harmony Mills (I also got a lot of pics of the RHPs in and near downtown Cohoes ... I'll eventually upload and write the articles, but that will take a couple of months. I also got one for the Hall Law Office as well, and should upload that soon (sorry, it's been difficult to work during this current heat wave as we don't have air conditioning at our house (and don't really want it, days like these last four notwithstanding).

Hi. Great job, finding Mount Lebanon Shaker Society and shooting it! Of course i am happy you replaced the b&w HABS pic, tho i also appreciate ur keeping it in the gallery.

DTV transition in the United States
I can't find those contradicting statements.

I worded what was said in my sources in a way I thought was acceptable. In the real world VHF digital signals cannot be picked up as far away as first thought. Many people have problems with VHF signals, mainly if they are too far away from the transmitters. This is what numerous sources say. I don't know what's wrong with my wording, but I think it says what those sources say. And if any statement in the article contradicts what all these sources say, that statement is wrong. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 13:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I figured out the problem. When I was looking for details on the Buffalo, New York problems, I happened to see that some stations which were on VHF had larger signal ranges than they do now on UHF. But it was when they were on analog that VHF did better.

Thanks for helping me make the article better. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 13:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the changes. I may have messed up what you did before realizing what you put there was new. I still think there may be some issues with the distance VHF digital signals travel, but I have no source because they don't really know yet. Maybe they'll figure it out and we'll know exactly what's going on. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 14:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I knew an evaluation of the transition was due. I have the first one of these now that I've had a chance to look up some more stuff. It's unbalanced for now, but I'm sure criticism will come in time. At least it gives the transition itself more balance. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 13:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I went back to the article about what happened in my area. I saw it first online, but after a few weeks I see the same papers at the library. One paper said next to nothing about the transition. I don't think The Charlotte Observer has printed even a word, but even with all the layoffs there, the TV/radio writer thinks TV is a luxury and we're not even entitled to the government coupons for converter boxes, much less antennas. So I guess there were no problems, but he did say the vast majority have cable or whatever. Charlotte has a VHF station which switched in February, which I only get through cable, and not one word. But the power is about at the same level as a hamster getting his exercise, so one would think there'd be complaints.

But my other problem I've known about for a while. The station warned it would be at reduced power for a while, and they got lots of complaints after June 12. So far, three articles in the paper that cared. There's no clear statement the station has reduced range, but there is a suggestion of that. It doesn't say in the paper buildings have the problems. My problem is distance. It could be my antennas aren't really designed for VHF, but they have directions for VHF signals which I followed. Okay, I didn't see directions for one of them, but it has rabbit ears and I just don't know how to deal with them. Only after they switched back to UHF did I pick the station up. And since it's not a Charlotte station, over-the-air is the only way because the cable company mainly provides Charlotte stations. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 14:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

So it sounds like your personal experience is different from other people's.

I extended the "rabbit ears" on my antenna all the way (you're actually not supposed to except for low-VHF) but it didn't seem to help. I think the antenna is in the best place possible. The rabbit ears on the other one I don't know how to do anything with. They're pointing in the opposite direction and turning the thing around so the display faces away from the stations seems counterproductive. I could use the remote control to turn the antenna around, which doesn't affect the rabbit ears.

We'll know the truth soon. Meanwhile, no one seems to have improved the VHF article. I'm waiting until I have more concrete information.

Now that you've divided up the "problems with the transition" section and added a VHF section, I'm wondering if some of details about VHF's problems higher up in the article need to be moved there. It never occurred to me before that those details could go in a different location. Some of those details might even be appropriate for the VHF article. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 15:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Update on my VHF situation: perhaps in my case I need a better VHF antenna if the channel goes back to 8. The proof is what happened when I tried to watch two nighlight channels I could pick up before. I couldn't pick up either one.

On an unrelated topic: I need answers.

No one on the other site has provided them. Nevertheless, I have to believe others are having the problems I am, and if they are, there may be additions to articles that will result. Provided a valid source or sources can be found. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 18:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

But double rescanning is for people who need to clear the memory. My converter box seems to forget everything without my making an effort.

Sounds like something for the CECB article if we ever get it figured out. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 12:51, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

This isn't about Wikipedia. Anyone who reads Wikipedia would know the truth.

I went in Radio Shack to ask for advice about my various problems. When I asked about a VHF antenna, the man said VHF isn't used for digital TV. He said it is used by emergency services and Homeland Security. I told him about the VHF station I was trying to pick up. He walked over to a TV and turned it to channel 8, which incidentally had a 91 percent signal strength. We were a LONG way from their tower. I told him that was channel 35. He looked and there was no channel 35. There was channel 20 and channel 36. Nothing in between.

No response on the other problem. I'll call Magnavox tonight. That may give us something Wikipedia can use.

Your sandbox
I saw you sandbox. I was cleaning out all instances of deprecated parameters. Afterwards I understood that your page is not just using the parameters, but trying to do something special with them. So I reverted ny edit. Still, please be aware that accesyear and accesmonth are being deprecated. Debresser (talk) 11:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Presidential election maps
Hello, sir. I apologize for disturbing you, but I need your help. There are errors with the 1828 and 1844 U.S. presidential election maps (SVG format), and, as a result, they have been replaced by older PNG maps. In order to create uniformity [amongst those articles], I was hoping that you, who constructed the latest versions of both maps, would edit the .SVG versions so that they could be re-affixed to their respective pages.

Thank you.

Re:Re:Presidential election maps
On the 1828 and 1844 .SVG maps, New York is the sole problem. In 1828, your map (otherwise excellent) awards Jackson 29 votes from New York, whilst it should award only 20 (to Adams' 16.) On your 1844 map, Clay is given the critical swing state of New York, although in actuality, Polk won there. These are the only problems I see.

I would upload maps myself, but my computer does not support the program. Thank you for your quick response and eagerness to assist in this matter.

My thanks
Thank you for your work. All is well now, as far as I can see.

My apologies
Another issue with election maps has been brought to my attention. On the election map of 1892, Maine has eight electoral votes, though it should have six; South Carolina has eight electoral votes as well, but should have nine. I see that you did not create or edit this map, but I was curious if perhaps you could be of assistance to the community in this matter.

United States presidential election, 1892
Thank you for the new map. The state totals are all correct. The only issue is the inclusion of the District of Columbia in the electoral count.

Fort Drum
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Fort Drum, New York a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:31, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Blackout/All Clear
Hi Cg-realms,

I've proposed a merge between the articles Blackout (novel) and All Clear, which as you may be aware are two halves of one story by Connie Willis. I have not received any input so far on this proposal, so I thought I'd better inform the editors who have invested the most time into these articles. Since you created the article Blackout (novel), you are one of these people. If you wish to comment on the proposal, the discussion is at Talk:Blackout (novel), but please feel no obligation. Thank you for your time. Princess Lirin (talk) 23:11, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

1892 Electoral College Map
Hello Cg-realms,

In this map North Dakota is shown as a Cleveland state whereas it was actually a Weaver (green) state. Could you please fix this whenever you can? My source is this page (http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1892&fips=38&f=0&off=0&elect=0), which is also cited on the "United States presidential election, 1892" Wikipedia article. Thank you very much. Futurist110 ( talk ) 01:54, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * While Weaver won the popular vote, the electoral vote was evenly split between Weaver Harrison and Cleveland.
