Pin map

[edit]

Locating images on pin maps is pointless.

  • As soon as you click on the pin map, the spot disappears, so you are none-the-wiser. You've merely wasted time.
  • Clicking on the co-ordinates, however, will bring up a dozen good clear maps that will help you find the exact location.
  • The building is stated as being in Mechanicsburg which is linked. Towns, unlike individual buildings, do have pinmaps to locate them in the state. Over-linking is not necessary. If Mechanicsburg is properly identifiable, the a very rough location of one of its buildings within an entire state is not necessary. This follows the same MOS principal of not putting a full date after every person that is linked in an article e.g. "In 1890 the house passed into the hands of John Doe (1852-1919)". The dates are superfluous. If you want to know his dates, one click will find them.
  • Pin maps take up the valuable right-hand space that can generally be used for a more profitable illustration.

Picture

[edit]

Winter is the ideal time to photograph buildings that have trees in front of them. Those trees are deciduous, I presume. Someone needs to trawl around the town with a camera, photographing the historic buildings before Spring blots them out again. Amandajm (talk) 00:42, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
