- Hey that will work, feel stupid I didn't think of an editnotice :P. Wonder if "group notice" for that user space would work, but I'd have to have the same landing page for the whole Mlpearc userspace. Nice covert pinging by the way. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Glad you liked it. Since the number of page watchers is currently two on this page, I know that you are the other one apart from myself. :) It was one before yesterday. If your detractors are going to try to stalk you, they are going to have to work at it. No "easy" button for them.

[edit]CURRITUCK BEACH LIGHT:
- 1875: 1 December: Beacon was first lit.
- 1876: The Victorian "stick style" keeper's house was completed.
- 1920: An 1870's dwelling was moved from the Long Point Lighthouse Station to the site as a smaller keeper's residence.
- 1939: Light was automated under USCG control.
- 2001: The Coast Guard determined the Currituck Beach Lighthouse to be excess. Currituck Light was among the first lighthouses to be excessed after the passage of National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (NHLPA).
- The Historical Services Administration deeded the keeper's house and the land around the house to the state of North Carolina. The lighthouse remained the property of the federal government. Keeper's house was empty, decaying and open to the elements for further deterioration and vandalism.
- The Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc. signed a 50 year lease with the state of North Carolina to begin restoring the property. The lighthouse was reopened to the public. The Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc. continued to maintain and restore the structures on the lighthouse property.
- On 17 October 2003 the deed to the lighthouse was transferred to the Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc., through the auspices of the NHLPA.
