Wrong image

[edit]

@Epicgenius: You are the only person who has edited the article who is still active and who looks as if you might have knowledge in this area. A recent edit asserted "The image of the house is not correct. That is the house at 22 Pendleton Place, across the street from One Pendleton." Putting "1 Pendleton Place, New Brighton, Staten Island, New York" into Google Maps confirms the edit summary—that is, the current image is wrong. The image is used in this article and List of New York City Designated Landmarks in Staten Island and National Register of Historic Places listings in Staten Island. It is also in Wikidata at William S. Pendleton House (Q23074006). I will notify RachaelSolem who made the recent edit. I have removed the image from this article for now. Am I missing something? Any suggestions for how to proceed? I wonder if any of the uploader's other contributions need to be checked—see here. Johnuniq (talk) 04:06, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A National Park Service document (National Register) has photos of the building, starting at page 31 of the pdf. They confirm that this flickr image is a correct photo of One Pendleton Place and that the image removed from this article is of a different building. Accordingly, I have removed occurrences of the image from where it was used (links above). Checking the talk page of the uploader indicates that communication is unlikely and that other errors have occurred. Johnuniq (talk) 07:19, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Johnuniq, I just saw this message and agree that it's the wrong image. 1 Pendleton Place is on a hill on the south side of the street, across from the house that was pictured previously. 22 Pendleton is on the north side of the street, but slightly lower than the street elevation. I think we can ping Jim.henderson as well, because he may be able to get a picture of the correct building, and KLOTZPLATE since they were the original uploader of the incorrect photo. epicgenius (talk) 12:46, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Epicgenius: Pleasant to be remembered, though easy of course since we chatted happily at the Wiknic two days ago. I won't snap anything in Staten Island this month, and probably not in the next few months, being tonight in Pittsburgh with much to do tomorrow and, at this moment, very tired. And, if things work out, I'll be in Stockholm and later Mexico City. I don't usually spend the majority of a summer out of town. I figure the most effective way to request a photo is through Wikidata. Just make sure the coordinates are correct and there is no WD picture. Then it shows as a red disk on the WikiShootMe page on my Android phone. Often I'll stop pedaling awhile, really to rest but if another biker asks, then I'm looking for photo opportunities. Also a pin goes on the Commons app, but that crashes so often that it's less use to me. Drat; over an hour to Sunset but already I'm ready for bed.
