Japanese Lighthouse, micronesia
At wt:NRHP, you indicated interest in developing coverage of Micronesia's NRHP-listed Japanese Lighthouse. Okay, go to it, at User:Doncram/Japanese Lighthouse (Poluwat, Federated States of Micronesia), or move it into your userspace if you like. I am not bothering to develop it much more, and I am refraining from submitting it via wp:ACH. If you wanna run with it, that's great. Go ahead and make a double DYK, or whatever, please feel free, and you do not need to credit me. Please do let me know if you choose not to take this forward. Cheers, -- do ncr  am  20:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited PRR 1361, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Grant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WP:FOUR RFC
There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:05, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

It really inspired me to go take some more pictures. Btw, it was used for railroad barges to get rail cars across the Hudson River since the next rail bridge was 70 miles up River. dm (talk) 03:18, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Announcing: NRHP Fall Photo Contest!
The WP:NRHP Fall 2014 Photo Contest will kick off at midnight eastern time on Monday September 1! This is an opportunity for all folks with a camera (or a sketchpad and scanner, doncha know) and an interest in the National Register of Historic Places to just have some low-key fun and maybe get some barnstars. Come submit some photos or pose a challenge to your fellow editors. And maybe, just maybe, along the line we'll improve the encyclopedia... (Note that while this contest is intentionally concurrent with Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 and the Wikipedia Summer of Monuments, there ain't gonna be no cash prizes or press releases here. But compete in 'em all if you like - we won't be jealous.) &mdash; Ipoellet (talk) 22:55, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Niagara! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:21, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Pennsylvania photos
Saw your comment about the Gudgeonville Covered Bridge at WT:NRHP. I visited the bridge site six months ago, and I was amused to see that it was a wooden-decked structure; I wonder if they're still using the temporary structure that's mentioned in the bridge article? Anyway, thanks very much for getting the photos. I thoroughly agree with Daniel Case's words about our photos being potentially irreplaceable; that's a big reason that I take and upload so many.

Unrelated matter: if you're ever around very much, I'd appreciate any assistance you can give on uploading photos for unillustrated municipalities. See User:Nyttend/Pennsylvania — several of us are working on illustrating as many municipalities as possible; so far we're about 70% done, but that means that we still have 750 municipalities remaining. Nyttend (talk) 04:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I got Waterford, but the only differences between your photo and mine are (1) more graffiti, (2) more clouds, (3) less sun, and (4) fewer leaves on the trees. I ran out of time and didn't get Harrington, but I hit it in January; however, because of the plentiful snow, I didn't dare stop for more than a few seconds (no idea whether it would be safe to pull off, and I couldn't block the road), so all I got was the bridge portals.  There's no reason for me to upload anything of either of them, since the current infobox photos are better than anything I have.  As far as municipalities: the goal is something representative.  In a rural township, perhaps it's a significant building, like a church or the municipal building; perhaps it's a group of houses in a village; perhaps it's a landscape.  In a borough, perhaps it's an important building again, or perhaps it's a street scene.  Or in any of them, perhaps it's a landmark, like NR sites or Mail Pouch Tobacco barns.  Here are a few examples that I've recently added: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.  Nyttend (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello from the team at Featured article review!


We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.

Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.

Thanks for your help! Maralia (talk) 03:23, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

 * , thank you for your peer review and additional thanks for your Featured Article on Erie. My dad's family is from North East, so I'm very familiar with that region of Pennsylvania. Keep up the stellar work! -- West Virginian   (talk)  13:42, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * , I know this not a historic place, but would you happen to have time to provide me with feedback, whether formally or informally, regarding my FAC for Romney Literary Society. This is the most comprehensive article about the society in existence. I know it could use improvement, and given your thoughtful comments for Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge, I thought you could provide additional suggestions for this one, too.

 * Hi Niagara. This is just a friendly note to let you know that the Union Station (Erie, Pennsylvania) article has been scheduled as today's featured article for December 3, 2016. Dank will be along shortly to massage the lead into a main page blurb, but if you're interested in doing this, or in subsequently editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Today's featured article/December 3, 2016.

User page photo
I like the photo on your user page. At first I thought it was logical to see a "Niagara" type loco on your user page, but then I looked more closely -- it's a Berkshire, not a Niagara/Northern/Confederation/FEF/4-8-4.

I don't think any road but the New York Central used the "Niagara" designation, so, strictly speaking, the only "Niagara" image we have is File:NIAGARA NYC 6013 JAGRAFX.jpg. It's a striking line drawing. Since was first used on the Central, arguably you could use File:Timken 1111 builders portrait 1929.jpg. .     Jim. .  (Jameslwoodward)   (talk to me) 14:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)


 * That's interesting! I wasn't aware of that designation. Incidentally, the photo was chosen mainly for Horseshoe Curve, but I'll have to see about a Northern should I replace the photo. Niagara  ​​Don't give up the ship 22:19, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Kinzua Bridge
Hello! I saw you are one of the main editors of the article about Kinzua Bridge and I just wanted to let you know that it is one of the best articles I have read on en.wikipedia. My compliments! I especially appreciated the fact that weights are expressed both in short tons and tonnes, while in many articles there are just "tons" and, at least to an European, it's not immediatly clear what they are referring to. In next days I'm going to translate the article into the Italian wikipedia :) --Postcrosser (talk) 00:40, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
