Better source request for :File:Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad logo.svg ↗

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

:File:Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad logo.svg ↗

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright ↗ status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the ''exact'' source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link].

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.

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.) — 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!

<div style="background: none; border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 0.5em; margin: 0.5em auto;">
right|100px ↗

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.

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 Timken 1111 ↗ 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)

Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania ↗, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute ↗; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, ''Across the River'' was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize ↗. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them.

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Lancaster Soft Crèmes ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Lancaster Soft Crèmes ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''I can't even find sources about the discontinuation, although I'm sure the product has been discontinued. Given that it was not notable enough to even warrant an article in any outlet on its discontinuation, I doubt it's notable enough to remain in the encyclopedia.'''</blockquote>

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion based on established criteria ↗.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion ↗ of the article at any time. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs ↗) please ''always'' ping ↗! 14:58, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
