Mississippi Falls, Wisconsin
Hi-Would you please look at the article Mississippi Falls, Wisconsin. According to the article the community is located in Grant County, Wisconsin. I checked the GNIS and the Wisconsin DOT Grant County map and there is no mention of it. I checked the Wisconsin Hometown Locator and again no mention of this community. And nothing on Google. Is this some sort of hoax? Again many thanks-RFD (talk) 22:16, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find any sources either, so I tagged it for deletion. It's unverifiable at best and a hoax at worst. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 22:57, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Nettle Creek, Illinois
Hi-would you please look at the Nettle Creek, Illinois article? I added the GNIS to the article. However, I have concerns about the accuracy of the article. The editor who started the Mississippi Falls, Wisconsin also started this article. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 13:10, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The article seems to mostly be copied from Mazon, Illinois, with a bit of unsourced history thrown in. I'll clean up the article, but I'm also going to leave that editor a note to see what's going on, since it's hard to tell whether they're just inexperienced with editing and proper referencing or if they're actually writing hoaxes.

Thanks for taking care of Morton-James Public Library at AfC.

Splitting NRHP counties
Hey I see you just split out two counties from the ND NRHP list and one from TN earlier. It just so happens that I'm in the process of running NationalRegisterBot and have been doing so for about an hour, but now that you've split these out, I have to restart the bot since they will still be listed as redirects to the state list by the time the code gets to those counties since the code sees the links as they were when the page was loaded. The code relies on the client-side CSS class "mw-redirect" of the link rather than any server-side information, so it doesn't live update as the bot runs through the list. If you could hold off splitting out any more counties for the next few hours at least, that would be appreciated. Maybe this should be an incentive for me to update the bot code to avoid this next time haha. Thanks!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 21:55, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'll hold off on splitting any more counties for a bit. It might be worth updating the code, but considering that the lists don't get split all that often it doesn't seem like it'll become a common problem. (And if the lists do get split more frequenty, the problem will eventually solve itself...) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 22:26, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Your close on such categories as Category:1869 establishments in the District of Columbia misconstrued the previous discussion on the issue.

Your page User:TheCatalyst31/CDPs/AK
Just discovered your page. You may be interested in User:RadioKAOS/Sandbox/Misc/CDPs, which I created to track the missing CDPs from the 1980 and 1990 censuses. Many editors appear content to pretend that this information doesn't exist or doesn't matter. I haven't had the time yet either to complete it with the offline sources I collected or to check the PDFs on the state labor department website to see if they contain the same information. The List of places in Alaska subpages contain numerous redlinks to these CDPs, but that list was an unsourced bot-generated data dump which doesn't spell out the types of entities, so we just continue to leave folks in the dark. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 16:19, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. I agree there's a big problem with Wikipedia's coverage of places focusing so much on 2000 census data; most of the population data is sixteen years old at this point, and it ignores the older CDPs from your list, the newer CDPs from mine, and a lot of significant communities that were never included in the census. I try to fix this stuff when I have time, but between my real-life commitments and other editing interests there's only so much I can do alone.

Noble Hill School
I reverted your semi-automated edit at National Register of Historic Places listings in Bartow County, Georgia. We determined that this photo is not of the historic school - see the talk page. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:18, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching that, sorry about re-adding it. I removed the NRHP template from those photos so nobody else will make the same mistake I did. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:36, 5 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, the template probably caused the problem. I put in a request to rename it.  By checking Google Maps at the location of the photo, it is at Cass Middle School and using street view confirms that.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:58, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * . There are three total files: c:File:Noble Hill School.jpg, c:File:Noble Hill School 2.jpg, c:File:Cass Middle School in Cassville, GA, US.jpg. They are neither the Noble School nor the Cass Middle School. The actual Cass Middle School is located about a mile west, at 34.2402°N, -84.8691°W. The Google maps marker at 34.2423°N, -84.8541°W is probably a duplicate listing (there is no address with the marker). I'm not sure what school it is, but it might be the Stars Preschool. I can just barely see the word "Stars" (or scars) in this street view. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out this situation the other day. This is my best guess. kennethaw88 • talk 00:01, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Whoops, I got one of them renamed to "Cass Middle School". It had the camera location, and that was close to Cass Middle School and I looked at the street view and I thought that it looked like the photo.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:29, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The camera location of File:Cass Middle School in Cassville, GA, US.jpg is near Cass Middle, but the "camera location" may be completely wrong. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:33, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Should we have them renamed something like "unknown building, probably in Cassville, Georgia"? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:58, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The camera location templates are correct, and these are pictures of a school building in Cassville, Georgia, but the Google maps marker at this location labeled "Cass Middle School" is misleading. The real middle school is located to the west, and also has its own Google maps marker.


 * I did some poking around in Street View in the area where the pictures were taken, and the driveway is marked as Stars Preschool, which probably at least explains what the third building is. The other two are some sort of outbuilding on the same site but don't look like they're part of the school itself - my best guess is they're part of a school bus maintenance yard, but my evidence for this is basically "it looks like a maintenance yard and there are a bunch of school buses parked there", so I wouldn't put that in the description. "Unknown building in Cassville, Ga" is probably best, since the only encyclopedic use I can really see these pictures having at this point is if someone gets really desperate for a picture of Cassville.

New photos, potentially
Wanted to note that I'm hoping to be in Little Egypt for off-wiki reasons, before amazingly long, although since I can schedule my trip, I'll be waiting for good weather. I'll have time for some wikiphotos; I'm looking to get the new listings in Lawrence, Union, and Johnson counties, I'll be trying to find the Old Stone Arch Bridge (Clark Center, Illinois) if possible, and I may even be able to get the newish listings in Metro East. At Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Archive 63, you noted your willingness to send the Old Stone Arch Bridge nomination upon request; would you email me a copy? Nyttend (talk) 04:25, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I've finally created List of county courthouses in Illinois with information that I compiled a couple of years ago. It currently has photos for 80 of the 102 courthouses; any others you could find online would be appreciated.  I've scheduled my southern Illinois trip for this weekend, and my goal is to get photos for 6 of the 22, along with the other stuff on my list.  Nyttend (talk) 00:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like a number of those are in northern Illinois, so I might be able to visit some of those the next time I'm south of the border. Incidentally, going through the list I'm pretty surprised at how many courthouses in Illinois are almost certainly NRHP-eligible but not listed; compare that with Wisconsin, where just about every courthouse that's eligible has been listed. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:22, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There's a solid reason that a lot are in the north: they were harder for me to reach from Bloomington, Indiana. Indiana's apparently like Wisconsin; every historic courthouse is either individually listed or is in an NR-listed historic district, and the only courthouses not NR-listed are Cass, Clark, Crawford, Delaware, Floyd, Kosciusko, Lake, Madison, Marion, Perry, St. Joseph, Vanderburgh, and White — and seven former courthouses in those counties (e.g. Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse, Old Perry County Courthouse (Indiana)) are NR-listed.  When I started doing a lot of Illinois trips, I was surprised to see that lots of historic courthouses weren't NR-listed; that's why I was careful to upload photos of courthouses in counties such as Clay, Jackson (glad that I got those two!), Vermilion, Richland, Calhoun, and Henderson.  Nyttend (talk) 02:07, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I was able to get one of the missing ones sooner than I expected. I was in Jo Daviess County today to visit Charles Mound on one of the few days it's publicly accessible, so I swung by Galena to get a picture of the courthouse. (Forgive the photo quality; for a variety of reasons, it was surprisingly difficult to get a good picture.) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 02:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. You should see my pictures of Galena, from 5 July 2014: parking was literally unavailable downtown (I drove around for a while and never did find a single parking spot), so aside from some images at the Grant House on the hill, all my photos are through the windshield, and I didn't get anything of several sites.  That's what you get when you visit on the Saturday immediately after July 4, when everybody's on vacation :-(  I was able to get photos for several southern locations: courthouses in Saline, Gallatin, Hardin, Pulaski, Alexander, Randolph, and St Clair counties, plus the newly NR-listed Blair HD in Belleville and the East St Louis bank that was listed two or three days before I last visited there in 2014.  I got a driveway image for the new listing at New Burnside in Johnson County (as noted in the nomination, you really can't see the house from the road) and a decent image for the newly listed bridge at St Francisville in Lawrence County, and I discovered that the original National Road in Clark County is blocked, so my image of the road is the closest we'll be able to get for the old stone arch bridge near Clark Center.  Darkness on Saturday evening came a little sooner than expected, so I reached Giant City SP after it was too dark to get images of the Civil War-era rock carvings on the nature trail.  No uploads coming yet (I'm only now starting on some non-NR photos from the Toledo area of northern Ohio, from two weeks ago), but I'll let you know when I start.  Nyttend (talk) 15:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There are benefits to trying to get photos of everything, even if it's already illustrated on-wiki :-) Yes, I got a few photos when I was out there ten months ago; I'll see what's best to upload.  Just done working on the Toledo OH photos (just ordinary small-town illustrations, e.g. File:Main in Wayne downtown.jpg), so I'll soon be starting on the new Illinois stuff as well as the jail.  Nyttend (talk) 23:48, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * File:Carthage Jail from southwest.jpg; I've put it in the jail article and the Hancock County list, but I don't know from where else the old picture was removed. Nyttend (talk) 00:25, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It was also removed from Carthage, Illinois, which I added your photo to. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 03:26, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Just going through photos, and the National Road bridge photo is worthless; it's just a blurry image of some trees. Didn't help that I accidentally ended up in someone's driveway, just as they were leaving it, so I couldn't get a proper image of the scene.  I'm thinking that the only possible route will be to go when the leaves are off the trees, park near the bridge that I pictured from above and Bubba73 pictured from below (that spot's comparatively easy to access by car, although I had to use reverse gear to get out of there), climb down the hillside, and take a photo looking downstream.  The "new old" road is never used (it's totally blocked at a spot far enough east that you can't see it in my picture), so one could easily park in there, and then walk around a little bit without risk of accidentally ending up in a driveway.  Nyttend (talk) 12:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Darn, that's too bad. I'm not surprised that it's a hard site to get at; with a lot of the more rural sites, parking is half the battle, and that almost seems like the sort of spot where you'd need to hike/bushwhack your way to the bridge after parking somewhere else. (And then you have to worry about accidental trespassing...) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 12:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)


 * It was hard to get down to where I took the photo of the bridge. I was parked quite a bit to the east.  There is thick vegitation, but we found a path.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:47, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Good description. The situation is similar with the Rockhouse Cliffs Rockshelters, which really can't be accessed except by walking upstream from a good distance away or by climbing down from the old road at the top: you have to climb down from a ways away (unlike at Clark Center, going over the edge would be fatal; it's several stories high), and then walk through the brush and woods, although at least there it's all Forest Service land, and accidental trespassing isn't a problem.  At least you don't have to walk far; Rockhouse Cliffs is more than a mile away from the standard parking area, while the blocked state of Old 40 means that you can park just a few feet away without being at risk of obstructing the road for others.  If I'm able to be back in Clark County again to get this photo, I'll do it in good faith, since the nomination form mentions the apparent federal ownership of the property.

 * If the old National Road is of interest, I think I got some photos of it where it is made of bricks. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 18:44, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Lots of what I got on my first trip was absolute junk for off-wiki purposes (especially stuff upstream from Golconda), so I ended up doing a second trip this weekend: camped at Evansville Sunday night, and went Evansville-Shawneetown-Saline Landing-Cave in Rock-Marion-Paducah-Giant City SP-back to Ohio. I now have photos for the site at Giant City and for the Clark County bridge site — I did as Bubba73 suggested, got down below the hillside, and was disappointed to discover that the bridge is gone.  You'll note from USGS quads that the old road is quite elevated above the surrounding terrain, and today, there's a big gap in the elevation, with no sign of a stone bridge.  Not sure what happened to it (carting off all the stone would be a good bit of work), but something definitely did.  The closest comparison, at least that comes to mind momentarily, is the Turtle Creek Culvert and Embankment in far western Ohio (see picture), which deteriorated (I assume from weather and river actions) to the point of near collapse, prompting its demolition for the sake of public safety.  Visit the site, and you won't see the stonework sitting around; perhaps the same issue is the reason for this bridge's disappearance and the site's lack of stonework.  Photos from this trip will be up when I get the chance, after I get up some remaining photos (including the Pope County Courthouse) from the first trip.  Nyttend (talk) 05:58, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, I put up a photo of the bridge that is there in the Clark County list, but it is so different from the stone bridge in Marshall that we figured out that it can't be the one. The road also used to make a loop to the south there, and that is where the stone bridge is/was.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 17:45, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * By "did as Bubba73 suggested", I meant that I went a good distance to the east and climbed down; the spot I photographed is definitely the old roadbed, the loop to the south. Nyttend (talk) 18:52, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, but you didn't find the old stone bridge, right? In the satellite view, I think you can see a gap in the trees on the west side that must have been where the old loop went.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:04, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Correct. I left the interstate at the Martinsville exit and got on the current alignment of US 40, turned onto "new old" alignment, parked just east of its bridge, went south to the "old old" alignment, and discovered that its bridge was totally gone.  Nyttend (talk) 20:38, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks to me that you would have to go on private property to get to the "old old" part. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:42, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * After all that, the bridge isn't even standing anymore... that's anticlimactic, to say the least. Thanks for putting in all that effort to find it though. Doing three separate trips to an out-of-state site is dedication. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 12:22, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You're quite welcome. Including it on the first trip wasn't a big deal, since I was just trying to get the sites for Crawford, Jasper, and Clark counties.  Second trip, it was on the way (I would have been going I-70 anyway), and third trip, it was on the way (I would have been going I-70 anyway), so it's not a huge deal.  Probably I should have taken US 40 for a greater distance than I did; I took 57 from Marion to Effingham, and 70 from Effingham to the Indiana line, and nearly the majority of the trip I was in construction zones with nobody doing construction work.  "Speed Limit 45.  PHOTO ENFORCED"  US 40 is probably faster than I-70 right now!  I definitely should have taken US 45; it would have cut off miles, and while it goes through towns, the 45-mph zones wouldn't be nine miles long.  And finally, if you're ever far down south, you ought to take the Cave-in-Rock Ferry; the view is amazing, both of the cave nearby and the Weston Bluff Skirmish Site (see NR list) several miles upstream.  But the Irvin S. Cobb Bridge is still my favorite crossing of the river anywhere between Pittsburgh and Cairo.  Nyttend (talk) 15:28, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Sounds like good old Illinois road construction season :) And of course, if you're an out-of-state driver in a lot of those downstate counties you have to be pretty careful about speed limits even if they're 10 miles lower than they should be for no reason. (There's one county, I think Union, that's notorious for making speeders physically appear at a court date several weeks later so local businesses make money off the visit.) And I'll have to keep that in mind if and when I get that far south; thanks for the recommendation! TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 00:11, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

 * All seven have infoboxes. That being said, I'm a little skeptical about Coopers Shores; I've been through that area on my photo-hunting trips, and it's signed (and seems to be known locally) as Newville, which already has an article. WisDOT's map of Rock County backs me up on that, and since the coordinates for Coopers Shores are right on top of Newville, I'm not sure what distinct community it could be referring to. At best it's a small subdivision within Newville, but that still probably doesn't merit coverage independent of Newville itself. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 03:01, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Morbid curiosity got the best of me! RFD originated about 2 counties away from Manitowoc.  Royal broil  16:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I was in a few places in that part of Wisconsin yesterday; I still have a bunch of pictures coming from the Green Bay area, too. I did in fact stop by the submarine (though not for the first time; I actually spent a night on it once when I was much younger), as well as the landing site of Sputnik 4, which is one of the odder historical markers I've come across. The ferry will have to wait for a longer visit, since it's a little hard to cross Lake Michigan twice on a day trip from Madison. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 16:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Fouette articles
Hello! I'll take your word for it and leave the ressurected Harriet Dinerstein article alone. However you should be aware that Fouette's block arose not only from her being a sockpuppet of a banned user, but also from conflict related to her poor calls on notability and reliable sources. Her very bad calls at AfD and illogical opinions on sources are ultimately what led to us finding out she was actually User:carriearchdale. From here on out I'm only nominating her articles as G5 if I find they are stretching the rules on notablity or sources. Have a good evening. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 01:24, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Since neighborhoods aren't inherently notable on their own, I'm not sure South Addison needs a separate article. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 12:37, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Many thanks-Is it possible to merge the article into the Addison, Illinois article? In looking at the DuPage County, Illinois maps ii does get confusing of what areas are incorporated and what areas are not. The York Township, DuPage County, Illinois article does list South Addison as an incorporated community within the township. This is where the confusion comes in. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 13:17, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The location marked in the GNIS appears to be in Villa Park, not Addison, but it's fairly close to the border with Addison; I'm still not quite sure which city I should merge it into. Once that's sorted out it can be merged into one or the other. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016
 Wikipedia Asian Month  Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help
Hi ,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted. Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Illinoi, Illinois
Hi-There is an article about Illinoi, Illinois GNIS=436711. I was going work on the article until I saw the GNIS ID; the community is in Illinois and Indiana. The article may needed to be renamed since the community in two states. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 21:23, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Can I ask why this article is being treated differently than other border cities, such as Texhoma, Texas/Texhoma, Oklahoma? Those are definitely the same community. Is there any other article with two states in the title? kennethaw88 • talk 22:49, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * There are a number of other communities with two states in the title: see Glenrio, New Mexico and Texas, Freedom, Idaho and Wyoming, Ray, Indiana and Michigan, Big Foot Prairie, Illinois and Wisconsin, Yards, Virginia and West Virginia and Arkmo, Arkansas and Missouri (and for a different naming convention, Hatfield, California–Oregon and McDermitt, Nevada–Oregon). The key difference is that Texhoma (and similar border towns like Texarkana, TX/Texarkana, AR, Delmar, MD/Delmar, DE, etc.) are incorporated, and therefore two distinct legal municipalities, while unincorporated communities don't have that distinction and typically aren't big enough to need two articles anyway. Though it might be worth thinking about splitting up Freedom, Idaho and Wyoming and McDermitt, Nevada–Oregon based on that distinction, since in both cases one side is a census-designated place and the other isn't.

Ways to improve National Register of Historic Places listings in Curry County, New Mexico
Hi, I'm Devopam. TheCatalyst31, thanks for creating National Register of Historic Places listings in Curry County, New Mexico!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please see WP:CS and make necessary changes to all of the references. Add references to the places mentioned instead of table header as done currently.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Devopam (talk) 06:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Hawaii
Hi- The Makanalua, Hawaii article needs an info box; some confusion; The GNIS lists Maui County where the community is located; however, the maps within the GNIS has the community being in Kalawao County. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 19:37, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Makanalua looks to be more of a civil land division than a community, and the lack of apparent human activity at the coordinates would seem to back that up. Finding sources to clarify is a bit hard since Makanalua is also sometimes used as the name for the entire peninsula. I'm not entirely sure what to do with this one. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:35, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi-Makanalua, Hawaii is listed as being one of four Ahupuaas in the Kalawao County, Hawaii article. Ahupuaa was an old Hawaii term for subdivisions. Apparently, ahupuaa is used today in some form in Hawaii. The Ahupuaa article is interesting. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 19:58, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Salt Gap, McCulloch County, Texas
Hi, I just added Salt Gap to the Communities sections of McCulloch County. I noticed that you created the Salt Gap, Texas page and added it to the Unincorporated communities section of the of the Municipalities and communities of McCulloch County template. Is there a reason you did not add it to the communities sections of the McCulloch County page? Just checking to make sure I'm not screwing something up.Jdtrue63 (talk) 05:33, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No reason, I just don't always remember to do that. (With some counties it doesn't make sense to include every unincorporated community in that list, because the list would be huge and take up undue weight in the article, but McCulloch County is nowhere near that.)

Re:Cibola County
I'm finding several discrepancies between whether or not certain sites are actually located within Cibola or Valencia counties or both. My first red flag was that the Cibola NRHP list disagreed with List of National Historic Landmarks in New Mexico, specifically Acoma (Pueblo) and, further down on the page on the second table, El Morro National Monument (that article also claims Cibola County). In addition to the discrepancies between the two Wikipedia list articles, the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division has lists of places on the national and state registers. The one sorted by county is found here. I have found the NM state list to occasionally locate a property in the wrong county, so I then consult the place's NRHP nomination form for coordinates. If I find coordinates, I plot them on a map of the state subdivided into counties and see where they fall. So far, besides those two examples, I've also found San Estevan del Rey Mission Church (located within Acoma Pueblo) and Village of Encinal Day School not previously on the Cibola list. I still need to verify Dittert Site, Laguna Pueblo, San Jose de la Laguna Mission Church, and San Mateo Archaeological Site. Granted, that's going to be hard to do with the two address-restricted archaeological sites. Fortguy (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I realized what also might be part of the problem; Cibola County didn't exist until 1981, fifteen years after the National Register, and it was part of Valencia County before that. My guess is that a lot of listings that were once in Valencia County never got updated when Cibola County was established. (I wonder if La Paz and Yuma counties in Arizona might have a similar problem, or the several boroughs in Alaska and independent cities in Virginia that have been realigned since 1966.)
