Category for Portland Historic Landmarks
Do you think there should be a category for Portland Historic Landmarks? -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:05, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably not. I have trouble seeing that anyone would come to Wikipedia looking for articles on PDXHLs. Far more likely, such a person would be looking for NRHP articles in PDX, and that need is already covered by categories. Those two sets are nearly (though not quite) identical anyhow. &mdash; Ipoellet (talk) 16:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia Takes Portland 2013!
Thanks for your newly-uploaded images of NRHP sites in Portland--great work! This photo campaign might be right up your alley... feel free to sign up and/or share your NRHP work during the month of September on the Wikipedia Takes Portland 2013 page. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:58, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Albers Brothers Milling Company
I saw a draft article in your sandbox for the above building. Just letting you know that an article has already been started. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:43, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh! Perhaps I should have checked when the sandbox was last edited. I just wanted to avoid having to merge or delete duplicate entries. Thanks for responding! Keep up the great work you do here at Wikipedia. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:08, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

NRHP - Puerto Rico
Hi. You recently made edits to National Register of Historic Places listings in southern Puerto Rico. In particular THIS one (NRHP = 13000013 [Casa Vives]) and THIS one (NRHP = 13000638 [Edificio Empresas Ferre] and 13000639 [Edificio Municipal de la Playa de Ponce]). However, I cannot find any documentation in the NHRP focus database to attest to these new entries. I have been creating articles on the NRHP sites in Ponce and would like to do the same with those 3 recent entries you made. Can you tell me what source you used for your entries? Thanks.

Bitar Mansion / Harry Green House
Do you have a ref to verify the house's NRHP designation? If so, please post on the article's talk page. Thank you much! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:33, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 02:42, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Neighborhood boundaries
I have to say, I am a fan of your photography and I also find the maps you create for historic districts very helpful. If you ever have the time or interest, it would be really great to have similar maps for Portland neighborhoods (especially since there are articles and categories for many of them). -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 04:07, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Clarification: I am referring to non-NRHP neighborhoods, like Laurelhurst, Irvington, Brooklyn, Woodstock, etc. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 04:21, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Revisiting this at a much later date to let you know, in case you are interested, that I am currently working to create categories for Portland's neighborhoods and populate them with related entries. If you happen to be familiar with the location of NRHP sites and historic districts and want to help by categorizing them by neighborhood, or by creating maps with neighborhood boundaries, that would be so helpful. If not, no problem! Just thought I would let you know: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Oregon. Keep up the great work! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:45, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Petersen Rock Garden
... was added to the NRHP on 10/30/13. I updated the article accordingly, but perhaps you know of other/better ways to improve newly-listed sites. Thanks! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:51, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Adding items to NRHP lists
Hi, I see you've been adding new items to NRHP lists recently. Thanks for the hard work keeping our lists up to date! I notice, however, that when you're adding lists, you seem to be manually remembering all the tables. If you have some other system to do this, that's fine, but I just wanted to bring this script to your attention if you didn't know about it. The way it works is it puts a button labelled "Renumber list" at the top of any NRHP list, and if you click on it, it will automatically edit the page to fix the numbering. It shortens the time to add a new listing because you can just add the listing in alphabetical order without caring what number it's supposed to be, then save the page and click the button. When you reload the page, the numbering should be fixed! :). Feel free to ignore this message if you don't want to install the script, but I just wanted to lend a helping hand that might save you a lot of time in the future. If you want to add the script simply add the text importScript('User:Dudemanfellabra/ReorderNRHPlist.js') to User:Ipoellet/common.js and bypass your cache to see the button show up. Thanks again for the hard work!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 06:42, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Refnums in NRHP row
Just wanted to point your attention to this edit. If you include comments in the refnum parameter, it will mess up the code for the link. Instead, multiple reference numbers should be in a list separated by commas with the one you want to be displayed first, e.g. 12345678, 87654321, ....--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 21:18, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I defer to your expertise that using comments in that way could cause logic problems (the code is far too dense for my limited expertise to step through). However, cases where I've used comments within the refnum parameter (predating your insertion of NPSFocus links into the template) have turned out fine: for example see the rows for Simon Benson House and Ladd Carriage House in SW Portland. I also have a concern with your CSL syntax because it denies editors the opportunity to offer additional context such as why there are multiple refnums.
 * Anyhow, thanks for addressing your concerns with my edit in a collaborative way, by considering the merits of what I did, making narrow adjustments, and discussing with me. Far too many editors would simply revert and move on. I don't always agree with your editorial opinions (that would be kind of unlikely for any two editors), but you always engage in the editorial process really well. &mdash; Ipoellet (talk) 16:33, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm it seems you're correct. I guess comments are parsed differently than I thought they were. I was under the impression that they were passed to the templates and then ignored, not the other way around. I was wrong. I've edited the documentation now to suggest both.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 18:55, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

How'd you notice this?
Thanks for this fix; I simply copy/pasted the Motor Townsite line and changed everything except the refnum. But how did you discover the mistake? Did it show up in one of Dudemanfellabra's auto-generated error pages? Nyttend (talk) 00:23, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Abert Lake Petroglyphs
Saw your article on Abert Lake Petroglyphs. While you rated it a Stub, I think you effectively summarized everything that's known about that site. FYI, I know where one of the two petroglyph boulders is located and will get a photo next time I'm down that way. Will also look for the other boulder while I’m there. It’s supposed to be within 700 ft of the first, but that’s a pretty big search area when you’re looking for petroglyphs. In any case, congratulations … it’s not often someone captures most of the world’s knowledge on a given subject in a Stub article.--Orygun (talk) 17:38, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Was glad to see that a picture of the Rinehart Building had already been uploaded to Commons, thank to you. Much appreciated! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:22, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Interstate Bridge
Regarding this edit, how did you determine that only the original 1916–17 span is listed on the National Register? I've always figured both were included in the listing, and I have not seen any information to the contrary. However, I have not seen the nomination form, and don't know where to obtain it. The usual link for obtaining such forms – which, modified for this refnum, is this – goes, in this instance, to a two-page HAER Inventory form, not the NRHP nomination or registration form. That form is dated April 1980 (more than 2 years before the bridge was listed) and does not even mention the NRHP, so it sheds no light on this matter. Although I agree that distinguishing between the two spans when writing about the bridge is worthwhile (and indeed I have spent more time doing so in my uploads of photos of the bridge than other people have, providing detailed descriptions, such as here), I'm interested to know your source for the statement that only the original span is included in the NRHP listing. (Feel free to reply on this page; I'll put it on my watchlist.) SJ Morg (talk) 04:07, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Mildly embarrassing, because now that you ask me I can't remember how I got that information, and I suppose it clearly needs a citation. Going back to look at sources again, here's what I found from OPRD (in the "Current/Other Names" field) and WSDOT (p.2). I don't know how you assess the value of these references, but if they're not authoritative enough, I'm okay with removing the word "northbound" from the two lists. &mdash; Ipoellet (talk) 17:35, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Those are fairly authoritative sources; I just wish they included prose text on this subject, to make it clear, instead of just being a one-word notation in a list. After all, it's conceivable the WashDOT list only mentions the 1916 span for simplicity, to avoid confusion over listing "two" bridges (1916 and 1958) under a single name/entry in their list. It is not actually stated that the listing only covers the 1916 bridge, merely implied.  The OPRD page – which I tried unsuccessfully to find before I wrote you the first time, but access seems to require an account, something I lack – is slightly more convincing, because the "second date" field could, I suppose, have been used to mention the second bridge (although that wouldn't be the normal usage of that field) but was not used in that way.  Because I'm not quite sold, I guess I'll stay on the fence a bit and say it's okay to leave "northbound" in the two lists, but that the article about the bridge itself should definitely not include any statement saying that only the older span is included in the NRHP listing until and unless definitive information on that point comes to light. SJ Morg (talk) 08:00, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that p. 1 of the WashDOT list includes separate northbound and southbound entries for a pair of bridges on I-82 between Benton and Umatilla Counties and another pair on Route 20 in Wenatchee. That's a clearer indication that the omission of the southbound Interstate Bridge (bridge no. 5/1W) was intentional in that list. SJ Morg (talk) 08:14, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No account is necessary to access the Oregon Historic Sites Database, or at least most of it. It's a great resource, so I recommend you try again. Here's the link I use to get to it: http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/. Also, for what it's worth, at the time the bridge was listed on the NRHP (1982), the southbound span (built 1958) was well under the Register's 50-year age standard. Although I do recognize that again this supports only an inference. Thanks for checking and keeping me honest. &mdash; Ipoellet (talk) 15:39, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If the 50-year standard were rigid, the Portland Building wouldn't be on the National Register. Regardless, in some respects, the two bridges are considered "one" bridge, but I don't know how NPS typically handles cases of semi-twin bridges (OK, 'paired' bridges) for NRHP consideration. Regarding the OPRD database, sorry for the confusion, but it was when I tried the URL without "historic" that it indicated I needed to log in. However, even when I included the URL you just gave, and got the search page, every time I entered parameters to try to find the page for this bridge (and I tried several different names), I always got a pop-up window saying "An error has occurred" and "TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object", which I couldn't make sense of.  I guessed it might be a problem with my browser (my main one is Safari), and just now, I confirmed that suspicion.  I tried again in a different browser (Firefox) and it worked fine.  My version of Safari is pretty old, and that's probably part of the problem; I plan to update very soon.  SJ Morg (talk) 08:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
