Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah)

I've redirected the other two articles you created to the main, properly-titled page above. Just so you know, there's no need to create three different pages with the same content. You can simply use the redirect button (#R at the top of the editing interface), and create a redirect to the article page, so that anyone typing in the alternate titles or spellings will be directed to the main article.

Thank you! Contributingfactor (talk) 05:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem at all. Just let me know if you need any further help on the project. I'm going to place a welcome template at the top of this page, that will give you some ideas and such that might help you as you go along. S. Dean Jameson 05:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vollintine Hills Historic District

Hi, thanks for your message. I was glad to help. If you are in the Memphis area, you might want to take some photos to add the article. Best wishes. clariosophic (talk) 00:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC) I see that you are working on Baron Hirsch Synagogue. The 1950s building is in the historic district and I can do a contributing property infobox for it, if you like. clariosophic (talk) 00:15, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 29 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Vollintine Hills Historic District, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

wp:NRHP welcome, and more

Hi! Welcome from a fellow member of wp:NRHP. Please feel free to post your new articles or your additions of new photos to existing articles in the corresponding announcement boxes at the wp:NRHP main page. Doing so tends to attract helpful attention to your articles. And please post questions and comments at wt:NRHP.

I notice you started and developed the Easley High School Auditorium recently. Nice work, with the photos and the writing!

About the NRHP infobox, it looks to me like you must have manually developed that. You should check out what is called the Elkman NRHP infobox generator at http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php, a tool supported by Elkman. It provides a cut-and-paste ready NRHP infobox containing all relevant info from the National Register Information System. It saves a lot of time! And then you can add other information to it.

I may edit that article to demonstrate the use of that, and to provide example use of some semi-standard referencing of SC DAH files, etc., to you. Anyhow, welcome, happy editing, glad to have you on board! Cheers, doncram (talk) 01:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message, good. Ah, yes, i see that it was NRHP regular Clariosophic who added the infobox for your nice Vollintine Hills Historic District article. Hope you have that article on your watchlist, i may edit it a bit also, to put the NRHP document reference into a somewhat standardized format, too, which gives explicit credit to the author of the form, given usually in section 11 of the NRHP document. Cheers, doncram (talk) 01:46, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And got your followup. It is a little awkward here on Wikipedia, how to maintain conversations using talk pages. I'm happy to have a split-up conversation across two pages, or to go by however someone else prefers to operate. Some prefer to keep a conversation all on one page, and use the "Talkback" template to notify the other person that there's more to see, see documentation at talkback template. Others who prefer to keep a conversation all on one page just state at the top of their talk page that they'll respond there to conversations started there, and they'll watch your page if they opened a conversation there. For now, I will "watch" your Talk-page here and be happy to respond here if you respond here. I don't have too many pages on my watch-list, so i should be able to notice if you respond.

About the Easley article formatting, it looks fine to me, i don't see any blank lines that shouldn't be there. I am not a perfectionist about layout though. And then i just now revised it further, trying out putting your 2007 pic in the infobox at the top. I think it looks good, but feel free to reverse it back, and/or to move a different photo up to the top.

About reference formatting, i put some notes in a draft style guide for NRHP articles at wp:NRHPMOS, which you might browse. There might be tips there useful about other aspects of NRHP articles too. However, my guidance there does not properly address your notes, in which you are referring to the same NRHP document several times, with different page numbers. I'll put in a little effort to try to address that, using your Easley article as an example. Referencing formats are things that you want to just figure out once and copy over and over again thereafter. They can be rather a pain. :) Again i will watch here for further response. cheers, doncram (talk) 01:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding References

I changed the reference on the Sterrick Building article from your name of Memphis's Tallest to the MEMPHISTALLEST for a couple of reasons. The main one was that you had it like this: ref name='Memphis's Tallest' , which is ambiguous due to the single quoting both around and inside the name. The best way to use ref names is a) one word and b) all uppercase. This distinguishes it from the rest of the article and make it obvious. Also, the single quoting is not necessary around the name, since this is not really HTML or anything. Other than that, your reference was fine.

Generally when I need to make a citation, I go over to WP:CIT and pick one from there that fits the most, copy and paste it in, then fill in the blanks. The only reason to add a "name" to a ref is if you're going to use the same ref later in the page.

PilmerPR

Hi. I took a look at PilmerPR, and I would say that it has borderline notability, but would probably meet the threshold for most of the Wikipedia community (I believe the Wikipedia threshold is rather low, but that's just a personal opinion). The company was mentioned by Business Wire, which lends credibility to the company and the awards its won. The Business Wire article does in fact say that the Golden Spike award is "prestigious", for whatever that's worth. In the end, the article will probably be able to stay. In the future, if you believe an article is not notable you may discuss it on the articles talk page, or mark the article for deletion and allow the community to reach a consensus on its own.
