National Register of Historic Places listings in Valdez–Cordova Census Area, Alaska
Howdy, I noticed that a request to split the Valdez-Cordova NRHP list was made last year, but was never completed. I have created the lists for Chugach and Copper River Census Areas, which are ready to be deployed. I thought I would let you know beforehand, to be ready to update any bots that would be affected. I'll watch here for a reply. 25or6to4 (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Go ahead and make the changes. I'll do what's needed after you've finished. Thanks for the heads up!  Magic ♪piano 15:13, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Done. I'm working through the pages that link to the old page currently, but have not set up a redirect page yet.  25or6to4 (talk) 06:01, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Impressive work taking pictures of NRHP sites
I've been trying to semisystematically correct the geographic coordinates of NRHP sites (concentrating on Massachusetts, perhaps more on that later). This is largely an armchair task, requiring merely to find the site in Google Street View and compare it to the Wikipedia picture. Almost without exception the pictures were taken by you, and almost without exception the picture is good enough (no trees in the way, etc.) to make a positive identification. That was an impressive amount of footwork you must have done, visiting all those sites and taking good pictures. Much appreciated. —scs (talk) 15:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)


 * You'll find that Faolin42 has also taken a great many pictures in and near Massachusetts. I've been all over New England -- thanks for the good words!  Magic ♪piano 01:52, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

UpdateNRHPProgress script not working?
I just tried to run User:Magicpiano/NRBot/UpdateNRHPProgress.js for the first time in a while, and it doesn't seem to work for me anymore; aside from logging a console message that I ran the script, the button doesn't do anything. Looking at the code, I think there's an error in the CheckPermission function; if the user who runs the script isn't an authorized user and the script isn't disabled, the function doesn't return anything, so the return value defaults to undefined and is evaluated as false.

Samuel Ferris House
You were the first one to refer to the address of this house as being at 1 Cary Street (Dec 2014) and the article has remained such to this day. I felt I should put my 2 cents in by changing it to 1 Cary Road. My mom, dad, 3 sisters and I lived in that house from 1978 until 1984 and I received a bunch of mail addressed to 1 Cary Road. It faces the Post Road separated by a guard rail about 40-50 feet away, the driveway in the back of the house is on Fitch Lane. There is a Salt Box addition at the back that serves as the bathroom. A taller person cannot stand up straight in the shower except very close to the faucet. We almost never used the front door, the one leading out of the kitchen was very old though, with double layered diagonal pine boards clench-nailed. The edge of the door had a palm print worn into it over a long time of the same person pushing the door open at the same spot. I wish I had learned more about the house back then, but I can still visualize everything about the interior, especially the ceilings shorter than I was. Cfs0527 (talk) 23:38, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I thought I should let you know the house pictured in the article “G.W. Reed Travelers Home” is not the correct building. It is actually a few houses over from that one, at 148 Falls Road and can be seen  at Historic New England’s site, listed as the “David Reed House, Benton Falls Maine”. https://www.historicnewengland.org/explore/collections-access/gusn/166962/

Story Mound error
You seem to have had success in making edits in Wikipedia, and I have not been successful. There is an entry for a mound of dirt in Saylor park created during a school construction protect that got listed as an Indian Mound named Story Mound, which is actually in Chillicothe OH. In the edit history of the page I see attempts to make corrects going back a dozen years. I would be happy to send you the documentation that I have and the chain of messages trying to get it corrected if you think you might be able to help correct the entry. Bob Coil bobcoiltrb@gmail.com Bobcoiltrb (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I would strongly recommend you work with your state historic preservation office (which your local historical society should be familiar with) to get the mound delisted from the National Register, if what you claim is true. As a rule, what gets placed in Wikipedia needs to be confirmable through "public" sources; for example, if the historical society has a regular publication, it could run a story about this location, describing its history.  Wikipedia editors could then use that (and/or the information surround a National Register delisting) to update the article.  (I note that there is a separate location in Chillicothe that is also called "Story Mound", but I'm assuming it is unrelated to the one you describe in Sayler Park, Cincinnati.)

Hi Magicpiano,

a citation like, which you added in e.g.  , is quite unhelpful - the linked page lists hundreds of list pages, changing over time; expecting Wikipedia readers and your fellow editors to spend their time searching through these to find out where you had read the information is neither polite nor consistent with WP:CS.

FL-class articles and NRHPPROGRESS
I was working on cleaning up the untagged articles on WP:NRHPPROGRESS, since it looks like they've been building up for a while. It looks like Pershing House, a properly tagged featured list, shows up in the statistics as untagged. I assume this is intentional behavior - probably to catch articles that redirect back to the county lists - but I feel like we should have a way to handle sites whose articles are actually written in a list format. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:26, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * This appears to actually be an oversight in the code. Dudeman made a list of talk-page categories to check for, but omitted "FL-Class National Register of Historic Places articles" as a parent class to check for.  It is arguable that that category should be a subcategory of "List-Class National Register of Historic Places articles" (which is in the list of cats to check), but it currently is not.  (Doing that would imply also properly categorizing the subcategories of the FL-Class cat into the subcategories of List-Class.)  Thanks for noticing this.  Magic ♪piano 13:16, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I think I've made all of the needed changes to various bits of Javascript to deal with this.


 * Speaking of bugs with untagged artices, I think I caught another one; the NRHPStats script and the progress table sometimes produce different results, and I think it has something to do with the UpdateNRHPProgress script not catching articles without a talk page. For example, the entry in NRHPPROGRESS for Boundary County, Idaho shows one untagged article, but National Register of Historic Places listings in Boundary County, Idaho shows two, one of which doesn't have a talk page. (I'll hold off on tagging the articles until you have a chance to look at it.) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 15:47, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Fixed. The actual problem had to do with how UpdateNRHPProgress batched and rolled up statistics. Some needed tallying into the rollup was not taking place when the talk page was not found.  Magic ♪piano 00:40, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I think the bug got worse. Right now NRHPPROGRESS shows 24,362 untagged articles, which can't possibly be right. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, I think I see the problem. It looks like the script is now counting sites with no article as untagged. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:29, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Wolastoq aka Saint John River (Bay of Fundy)
Hi there. Today I was doing some research for an edit at Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, and this source described the "Wolastoq-St. John watershed". I started poking around and found these two Wikipedia articles, Wolastoq and Saint John River (Bay of Fundy). After reading both articles, I realized both articles were about exactly the same river. You recognized this way back in 2018, but your redirect was removed. There has been discussion on both articles about fixing this, but no consensus.
