User:Doncram/NRHP issues notes

This is a collection of examples of NRHP list-article formatting issues, collected to inform a possible discussion in an RFC, to address differences of opinion between some editors. Many are examples of what can be called "same name same county", where the exact same NRHP official name applies to more than one place listed in the same NRHP list-article (which are usually one list-article per county).

Previous discussion was archived at User talk:Doncram/Archive 14#(disambiguation displayed in listing names). There were also related comments at User talk:Nyttend/Archive 14#various NRHP list-article formatting issues and User talk:Nyttend/Archive 14#multiple reversions. The "same name same county" issue is currently opened for discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places#same name same county.

List of items

• Town Line Boundary Marker (disambiguation). For this example, the twice-used use of the same name in the same NRHP list caused even the NRHP editor creating articles about all NRHP places in the county to be confused. Only one article was created, using infobox for the 410 High Street one, which i just renamed to a more specific disambiguation and made way for and created disambiguation. This relates to two places in National Register of Historic Places listings in Barnstable County, Massachusetts:
  • Town Line Boundary Marker (410 High Street, Barnstable, Massachusetts), listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Barnstable County, Massachusetts

Also more that can be turned up by a program going through NRIS looking for same name in same county. In the program it should look for items with current NRHP listing status. I think that is code "LI". As opposed to finding instances where one place was mentioned with status DR and then later listed, or was listed and then later withdrawn, in which cases there is only one place involved. --doncram (talk) 15:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
