Florida State League (Baseball)

I don't know if you are a fan of minor league baseball - but the Florida State League is about to start its season next month. Many of the teams need photos (I'll take care of the Daytona Cubs) Gamweb (talk) 22:05, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not a sports fan at all. My mom was the sports fan of the family, yelling at the TV and everything. If I happen to be in the neighborhood of any of them, I'll see what I can get. Don't forget to put photo requests for them on their talk pages, if you haven't already. That'll let others know. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 23:55, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Gainesville

Can you keep an eye on this page? I'm well past 3RR (although vandalism is exempt, and I think his edits qualify as such), and nobody seems to be responding to the RFPP and SPI requests I filed. Horologium (talk) 17:56, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Looks like he's been blocked for a day, so you can take a rest. And the dude is quite misinformed. Ocala, where I live now, is the hotbed of racism, not Gainesville. At least that's what the lawyers for Wesley Snipes were telling a judge to try to get the trial moved. Didn't work, by the by. --Ebyabe (talk) 18:00, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Let's hope he doesn't pick up tomorrow. I have a full load of classes tomorrow (four classes, spanning six hours, with one break in between. I'll not be available to undue his nonsense if he's back after the block expires. Unfortunately, this guy seems to be pretty persistent; he first started this nonsense in February, and the latest stunt by the people at that damn church seems to have set him off again. And I remember the whole Wesley Snipes thing; I rolled my eyes then, too. Horologium (talk) 18:13, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
We'll manage somehow. I can report him just like you did. If he keeps this up (which seems likely), he'll just get indef blocked anyway. --Ebyabe (talk) 18:35, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
(driveby) So, I hear you're a Gator fan ...you at least like the beverage right? Btw, you forgot to sign this.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 23:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
(driveby back) Ack! Signed it. Oh, the beverage I love, it has sustained me on many of my photo-taking roadtrips around the state. One of the few things I like about UF, doncha know. The older buildings too, of course. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 23:35, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Florida

Happy to pitch in. It's always good to have a second set of eyes review these things with all the details involved. Great work with all the photos. I'm slowly but surely making my way through the Bay Area. Now that it's finally stopped raining here, I plan to get back out there with my camera in tow. --sanfranman59 (talk) 03:12, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

The temperatures generally stay pretty moderate in the Bay Area throughout the year. It gets hot up in Sonoma and Napa and east of the Oakland Hills during the summer months, but it's very dry. Nothing like Florida's insane summer heat and humidity. As far as I'm concerned, we've got just about perfect weather here. It makes me crazy when I hear people complain that it's too hot (i.e. anything over 70) or too cold (anything under 60). I tell people to go live just about anywhere else in the U.S. for a year and then see if they still want to complain about our weather. --sanfranman59 (talk) 03:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Bradenton Bank and Trust Company Building

Hi, I just started the above article on a place in my home town. Its current name is the Professional Building. Please put it on your list of places to photograph on your next swing through the Tampa Bay area. Best wishes and many thanks for all your many kindnesses. clariosophic (talk) 15:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I shall, and you're quite welcome. :) Btw, I missed another chance to say hi, shame on me. I went down to Miami and drove up the coast again, driving thru your neck o' the woods. I was trying to get as much photo'ed as I could, so I wanted to keep cruising. One of these days I'll be in your area and have enough time to hang out, doncha know. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 16:06, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Coca-Cola Bottling Plant (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)

WOW, you're quick! Thanks for adding the pictures. I just read about this place in the morning paper and decided to do an article on it. clariosophic (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I saw you adding the link to it on the Ocala article. Out of curiousity, I checked it on Google Street View and realized I'd taken pictures of it. I could've sworn it was a courthouse, 'cause I parked in courthouse parking behind it. It was right across from South Side School, and looked neat, so I took pictures. I should've realized it was a Coke plant, since it looks just like the one here in Ocala.
Btw, I've been taking pictures of the stuff in "A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture" too, so there's a plethora of Carpenter Gothic church photos available. Cheers! --Ebyabe (talk) 19:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)`
It was an easy mistake to make. Here is a link which tells the fate of the old Broward CH. clariosophic (talk) 01:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Bernhardt E. Muller

Hi, hey in starting up Bernhardt E. Muller architect of Opa-Locka, i wonder if you have pics to add. Also it seems there's a lot of FL NRHPs lacking articles. Any help appreciated. P.S. Other Florida architect Marsh & Saxelbye and builder O.P. Woodcock also could use help, if you might be interested. Cheers, --doncram 17:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I photographed all (or nearly all) the Opa-Locka NRHPs. See here. When I was stubbing the Florida articles way back when, as I got near the end I got lazy-ish. Some of the Thematic Resource/MPS groups I didn't do individual articles for. I'm not sure if any are worth individual articles.
The other architects you mention look to have done Jax NRHPs. I did visit up there, but I'm planning to go there for a full weekend to knock out that county, as it's one of the biggies, next to Dade and Sarasota counties. Keep on keepin' on, dude. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 23:07, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

NRHP County Lists

Thanks for helping out with rating the importance of some of these lists; thought I might have to finish them out on my own. I was about to start going through Texas, but I'm not sure if you're still going with AWB or not. How, exactly, are you going through the counties? I was going through and doing them state by state, but it appears as if you're just going through the remaining lists in alphabetical order? Should I just hold off and let you finish, or what?--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 18:51, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Welcome. :) I'm going from the end forward, using AWB. Go ahead and hold off, I should be able to finish the counties shortly. --Ebyabe (talk) 18:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
K will do. Thanks again. Also, I noticed that you changed Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in West Virginia to mid-importance. State-level lists are supposed to be high-importance. I think what caused AWB to catch that article is that it mistakenly had TWO banners for WP:NRHP, one with a high rating, and one unassessed. I've fixed it now, but I was just bringing it to your attention in case you come across something like that again.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 18:58, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Oh, and another heads up (though I don't see that you've edited any of these) there are some talk pages tagged as list-class that are actually redirects. I'm trying to hurry up and find them before you get to them, but just in case I don't, we may need to go through your contributions and make sure. The only ones to worry about are articles you've just edited that are in states below Tennessee in alphabetical order.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:10, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Here's one you accidentally edited that should have been a redirect; fixed now. Still looking.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:17, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Oopsie. I'll try to keep an eye on such stuff, but do please check behind me. Thanks! :) --Ebyabe (talk) 19:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
I looked through all your contributions just then and corrected the ones that should be redirects. One thing I did think about, though, is that if a county list didn't have the NRHP banner on it already (something I've come across for several hundred lists, actually), AWB wouldn't catch it. We'll still have to go through the state lists manually and check for those. I'll check Texas now; want to do some other state?--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:42, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Danke. I think I'm done for now. I knocked out the rest of the Florida MPS ones, though, since I created all of them. I needed a bit of a break from planning more photo road trips. Florida is over three-quarters done. Three regions I need to focus on (around Tallahassee, Sarasota thru Tampa, and Jacksonville) and the state will be mostly illustrated, hurrah! :) --Ebyabe (talk) 19:57, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Mmk, that's fine. Thanks for the help!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:59, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Tallahassee (Amtrak station)

That's actually funny, because I was about to head over to the Hialeah Seaboard Air Line Railway Station a few weeks ago to take some photos, and saw that you had already done so and put them up! Beautiful photos, too, gorgeous color. --Jhw57 (talk) 18:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

The Hialeah station IS really tucked away. Anyway, I do mostly old RR stations, so they've been pretty much exhausted here in South Florida. (I was in Tally on business, so grabbed the opportunity to get the depot there.) What NRHP stuff is left down here does seem pretty inaccessible (um, I don't have a boat!), though I probably could get a couple of things. The overall photo-requested pages for Dade and Broward is kind of funny -- a lot of shopping malls!--Jhw57 (talk) 19:30, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Rating National Historic Landmarks

I see you've joined me again in assessing the importance of all the National Historic Landmark articles. I was wondering how you were going about doing that. I remember a while ago that someone (not sure if it was you) was just going off the "National Historic Landmarks in STATE" categories. If you're doing that, yes it does catch nearly all of the actual NHLs, but it can also catch some non-NHLs. Many editors that don't know the difference between a regular NRHP listing and an NHL listing mistakenly put articles into these categories that shouldn't be in them. To avoid that, I would advise checking to make sure the state list of NHLs is in the "What Links Here" page. Without AWB at my disposal (they still don't have a mac version), I am forced to go through the state lists manually, which sucks, but it is also a lot more accurate. Just throwing out suggestions. Thanks for the help!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Yep, at it again. :) I'll check the main articles. Weirdly, I found Morrill Hall, which didn't even have an NRHP project tag. --Ebyabe (talk) 19:19, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Awesome. I assessed the quality of that article as Start-class. I've also gone through your contributions prior to my comment here and found only one false positive. You added a high importance rating to Lightship Ambrose, which was in the category mistakenly (and has now been removed from the project altogether). The actual NHL article is United States Lightship LV-87; I've added the project banner to that article, so all is good!
I also see that you've removed the NY NHL category from Croton Aqueduct and Albertus Van Loon House. I agree with removing the category from the latter, but the Croton Aqueduct is actually an NHL. It shows up on List of NHLs in NY and everything. As such, I'm going to revert that edit and rate the importance of the article as High. (Didn't realize that it was already in the NYC NHL category; my fault.. proceed). I rated the Albertus Van Loon House as Mid-importance since it's also listed on the NY state register.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:46, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Ah, you figured it out just as I was composing my response. :) What about Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire? It's apparently an event that happened in what is now an NHL. Dunno how to rate that. --Ebyabe (talk) 19:53, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
I rated it Related-importance since the event itself is not on the register, but the building in which the event occurred is, and the event was a significant part of the history of the building. I also updated the importance scale to say that all such articles should be rated Related-importance.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 20:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Mentioned in discussion

You may wish to comment in a discussion in which you were mentioned at WT:NRHP#Comment on Straw Polls, "decisions" and consensus. Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:15, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.  :) I like the picture part, too. I have a huge backlog. I just get exasperated when I see the ridiculousness of it all. I should just get back to the pics and leave the rest. I guess it's just a combination of real life stuff taking up my time (and maybe I'm blowing off some real life steam, who knows), loyalty to the editor who taught me most of what I know in Wikipedia, and some reluctance to give up the "old days". Maybe it's just a mid-life crisis.  ;) Lvklock (talk) 17:51, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I understand. That's why I only poke my head into the project every so often. Ironically, you responded just after I started another of my photo roadtrips, which wound up lasting a week, huzzah. You need to take these breaks occasionally, ya know? And don't talk to me about mid-life crisis. I'm dealing with being eligible to be on the NRHP by the end of the year. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 14:22, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

National Register of Historic Places listings in Jefferson County, Florida

Congrats on your accomplishment! Always nice to finish a county. Best wishes.--Pubdog (talk) 23:13, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you! And I'm actually ahead of the game, as there's a pending listing there, that I got whilst I was in the area. So in a month or two when it gets added, it'll still be fully illustrated, ha-ha!
I'm bugged, though, b/c I'm one shy of Duval County being fully illustrated, b/c the NRHP had the wrong address! It was for Centennial Hall. It peeves me no end when that happens. I'm hoping I can get people I know up there to take a couple of shots for me. Cross your fingers. Hopefully I'll have a few more lists fully illustrated too. --Ebyabe (talk) 23:18, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
This was the approximate route of the most recent trip, doncha know. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 23:23, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

90%+

If you know of any NRHP lists that qualify for the 90%+ illustrated list, please add them right below the Fully Illustrated lists.

All the best,

Thanks for the heads-up. Hope you're doing ok. --Ebyabe (talk) 04:16, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Miami wikiproject

Ebyabe - I see that you were in on the original construction of the Miami Wikiproject page. I have recently been trying to improve the assessment of Miami articles. In this work I have looked at the Wikiprojects of other cities for comparison. New Orleans is a good example. I see in New Orleans' Assessment chart there are Qualities such as Category, Portal, Project, and Template. Other cities have these qualities too, but Miami doesn't. I have spent a few hours trying to fix this but I am getting nowhere. Could you fix it? And then tell me how you did it? Thanks, GroveGuy (talk) 02:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Could you give me an example or two of appropriate articles? Then I'll know where to start. BTW, Torchwood: Miracle Day, woo-hoo! --Ebyabe (talk) 03:11, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Here are two charts; one for Miami and One for New Orleans:

Where are the Miami Template articles? Can you make them show on this chart? How do you add lines to the chart? GroveGuy (talk) 05:59, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I partly figured it out. The category and template ratings are being lumped together under NA. I jiggered the code for the WikiProject Miami template. Won't know if this fixes things for a few hours, as it seems to take that long for changes to work through. If what I did doesn't correct it all by tomorrow, I'll have to investigate further. --Ebyabe (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, I think I found it. On the page Template:WPBannerMeta it says we need the value "extended" for QUALITY_SCALE. The current value for our project is "yes". New Orleans uses "extended". Could you look this over and then change it from "yes" to "extended"? I saw the change you made. I can't guess what it would do.--GroveGuy (talk) 02:44, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

By George, I think we've got it! Altered the template, and the changes are starting to happen. Created the template and category categories so they'll have somewhere to go. In a while, all that should be left in the NA category are redirects, which should be fine. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 14:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

It looks much better now. Thanks for your help. --GroveGuy (talk) 20:54, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Florida mostly done

Hi, Thanks for your message. I'm sort of in the summer doldrums. I got one Martin article done last week and started one in St. Lucie. Hope to pick up some speed. Best wishes. clariosophic (talk) 20:57, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Photos

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. I'm still taking photos, though not contributing nearly as many to the site. I fill in some holes where I can. I have visited a lot of sites lately though. I recently moved to Chicago and it has been very soothing as far as my architecture/historic sites fix goes. My most recent contributions are: File:Chicago, Illinois Gauler Twin Houses 1.jpg, File:Chicago, Illinois Gauler Twin Houses 2.jpg, File:Chicago, Illinois Uptown Theater1.jpg, and File:Chicago, IL Basilica of St. Hyacinth.jpg. I have also been doing a bit of article work. My only real recent creation was Starved Rock Lock and Dam, which hit DYK. I've done some pretty major additions and alterations (including sourcing) to Winston Burdett, Larry LeSueur and Starved Rock State Park. I have also been trying to maintain the subcats at Category:Underground Railroad locations. So the Wiki work isn't as prolific but I'm seeing more amazing buildings than ever before. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Until next time, adieu my Wikifriend. IvoShandor (talk) 05:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Travel broadens the mind and soothes the soul. I'm glad you're getting some of both. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Photographer's Barnstar
1492 NRHP listed places and counting. Amazing and prolific work that should be admired by all of Wikipedia. IvoShandor (talk) 05:07, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, thank you, thankyouverymuch. :) Yes, I've pretty much done Florida. There are a few odds and ends, but mostly archaeological sites or really inaccessible places. So I'm pretty much done with the major jaunts, which is kind of weird. I'm doing some pre-planning for Georgia, but also taking virtual roadtrips via Google Street View. 'Cause it's cheaper, doncha know. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 05:45, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Gotcha. That must be weird. I bet you couldn't have imagined the day when you'd have completed an entire state. Wow. I will have my hands full of places to visit while I live in Chicago, there's something like 500+ NRHP sites in Cook County, and another 100+ that are Chicago Landmarks but not NRHP listed. Recently a lot of the work of famed architect Mies van der Rohe has started to meet the age requirement for NRHP listing so some of my favorite modernist work is being recognized, and there are something like 11 of his buildings in the city here. I am taking Amtrak downstate in a couple weeks, during which I will tie up some loose ends in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, mostly properties listed since my last visited. So I am even getting some travel in too. IvoShandor (talk) 06:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

"high-importance" articles

I'm a bit suspicious of all those class-B articles being added as high-importance. In particular, I don't see how The Breakers is at the same level as Monticello. If that's what you intended, of course, that's fine, but the edit summaries showing auto-replacement worry me. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:59, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

I was doing just the National Historic Landmarks, which are all high-importance. You're right, though, I should have indicated that in the edit summary. --Ebyabe (talk) 21:22, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Ah, got it. Thanks for clarifying. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:10, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Georgia

Thanks for your message. When I was younger (and probably stupider) I drove by that church hundreds of times going from Florida to the Carolinas and back. Never once stopped. What a shame. clariosophic (talk) 12:28, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Washington

Thanks for your note at WT:NRHP and for the photo list. I think I've got the list format problem almost solved. And I've put another note at WT:NRHP. One problem I see coming up here is : "How to get up interest in a project without being too pushy?" (The way some other editors have been accused of in the past).

All the best,

Smallbones (talk) 22:50, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! I was just expanding on the idea that, what with Wikimania being in DC next year, it'd be the perfect opportunity to get all of DC illustrated. I wasn't planning on twisting any arms or anything. Just letting people know what holes to fill in, and where, was my thought. And maybe people could consider photographing stuff on the way to and from. I just got back from Savannah, and photo'd a bunch of stuff along the I-95 corridor. Anyway, we have time to generate interest positively, and it looks like we're off to a good start. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 21:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the cookies. I was more concerned about people thinking I was twisting arms. I'd love to drum up interest in this, but don't want people to think I'm trying to tell them what to do. I get over-excited at times! I do hope that, at a minimum, we can get the DC lists fully-illustrated before Wikimania, and hopefully get articles for each NRHP site as well. Maybe even get the lists to FL status. I do intend to visit DC at least twice in the next year: once when the leaves are gone (to get photos of buildings rather than leaves), and probably on the 1st weekend of May, when the travelling carousel makes its sole annual appearance. As far as what to do during Wikimania - maybe we could organize some WP:GLAM-type events with NRHP, HABS, the DC SHPO or the NPS, since we'll be in their "hometown," either at Wikimania or separately. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Smallbones (talk) 13:57, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

NRHP lists in Georgia

Hi Ebyabe, I noticed that you have recently split the National Register of Historic Places listings in Georgia into a new structure than before. What alerted me to this was the appearance of National Register of Historic Places listings in Dougherty County, Georgia on the list of new articles in the NRHP project. I'm not sure why the rest of them haven't shown up on the list, but they could possibly show up after a future run of the bot. While I have no problems with the restructuring, I noticed that none of the lists you created for individual counties had the WP:NRHP banner on the talk page. While I'm still working on tagging and rating the importance of all articles in the project, the project's lists are all tagged/rated now (and if I'm not mistaken, you helped with the final push of getting them done?). I've gone through and added project banners/rated the new lists you created, but I wanted to bring it to your attention in case I have missed previous changes such as this or in case I miss future ones. It would be very helpful in terms of keeping good project statistics if any new restructurings would be announced on the project talk page, just to alert people of the change in case you or whoever is implementing the change forgets to add these banners or in case someone objects to the change. Thanks!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 17:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the banners; I didn't even think about adding them (obviously). I didn't consider it worth announcing, but I can see you point. I've reached a stopping point, so shan't be doing more. I wanted to give the larger listings their own page, so now all the counties with more than 20 listings have their own page. I'll tell the project, and see if others consider it a good idea to go further. I did a page for each county in Florida a while back, but dunno if I should do that with Georgia. It does help with the page loading and updating. Cheers! --Ebyabe (talk) 18:20, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello Ebyabe! I hope you enjoy this cookie as an amicable greeting from a fellow Wikipedian, SwisterTwister talk 06:41, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Right back at ya!

Thanks!
For all your "Wonder"ful work keeping the NRHP lists updated. --sanfranman59 (talk) 21:01, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Romeo Historic District importance

I don't disagree with rating Romeo Historic District mid-level importance--it's a large and diverse HD, after all--but be cautious if you're using the criteria of a site having an additional Michigan state designation. The Michigan Historic Sites list is fairly large, and I think bumping *all* Michigan state-listed sites up in importance will result in a top-heavy importance scale, particularly in certain counties.

Thanks. After doing some ratings, I decided to skip the ones with additional state importance, since I'm fuzzy on how that fits in to our ratings tree. Your point just makes it that much more relevant. I think I'm going to stick to the ends (low and high), since they're pretty well defined. I may do some more ratings later, but right now I'm working individual page-making for another state (Missouri). Btw, I don't mind if others change my ratings. I've changed a few nhls which were rated low! Anyway, danke for the note. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 16:51, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

"Needs infobox" for bridges

You appear to be adding "needs-infobox=yes" to the talk pages of articles, particularly bridges, that already have an infobox...well, geobox, but an NRHP infobox wouldn't be needed for those anyways. See, [3], [4], and [5] for the most recent ones I noticed. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 20:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Really? Couldn't an NRHP infobox be embedded? I didn't know that bridges were different than lighthouses and such. I'll go ahead and remove the parameter. Who knew? :) --Ebyabe (talk) 20:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
For geoboxes, the relevant data (i.e. refnum, listing date) can added into it just fine (the articles whose diffs I indicated above do that instead of embedding). To make things confusing, bridges that use the infobox, not a geobox, probably need have an NRHP infobox embedded though. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 21:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I see, I think? Thanks for the info. --Ebyabe (talk) 21:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
No problem, the only other special case I can thing of are articles using {{Infobox religious building}}, but I don't believe you will encounter that in any of the remaining B-Class articles. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 21:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Good for future reference, though, once I'm done with the B's. --Ebyabe (talk) 21:28, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I saw that you were going through the B-Class articles and rating some of them Related-importance. I'm not sure the algorithm you were using, but I assume that you were doing some combination of "B-Class articles of Unknown importance" and "Historic district contributing properties" or perhaps "nrhp_type=cp". Do take note that some articles that are in the CP category or that include that parameter are not really related-importance. There are individually listed contributing properties (INDCPs) as well, i.e. ones that are listed individually and also as a contributing property to a district. These articles should be rated at least low, and possibly mid, but definitely not related. I would say to skip articles that are in the INDCP category, and that would be enough, but not all of the INDCPs are in that category, so they have to be manually checked. I went through some of your edits and corrected a few errors, but my check was not thorough as I'm stressed for time at the moment. Perhaps you should run AWB again and see if some were incorrectly tagged? Sorry about the confusion. Thanks for the help, though!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't completely sure whether I was rating the cps correctly. I've actually stopped assessing the B's, since the ones left I'm not sure how to rate. Now I'm trying to get all the Florida stubs I created ages ago. Anyway, don't stress too much. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 00:33, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Oh, don't worry haha. I saw the massive number of articles you assessed and started to go through, but then I was like meh.. so what if they're related instead of low.. it'll make that category look a little more like it belongs haha. Later (after everything has been assessed) there may be a desire to go through the entire Related-importance category and check for errors, but for now I'm not going to sweat it.. I know at least all the NHLs will be assessed correctly, and all the lists are good.. CPs are the only other category that is really clearly defined, so they will be easy to fix. Low vs. Mid is a very blurred line, so I imagine that will be the bulk of what's left. Again, thanks for all the recent help assessing articles!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 02:27, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Welcome. ;) --Ebyabe (talk) 02:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Sleep

When do you do it? Haha. Thanks to your endless chopping away, we are now above 40%! Thanks so so so so so so much haha. I've tried to do a bit today, but I can't sit on here for 24 hours straight as you apparently can haha. It took me nine months to get to about 30, but it only took you a few days to add an extra ten on that. That's insane, man! Go rest a while haha.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 06:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm crashing soon. I'm not only doing this, I'm doing some other stuff too. I do get kind of OCD like this sometimes, and I've learned to work with it. Thanks for the note. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 06:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

National Register of Historic Places listings in Multnomah County, Oregon

I see from your reversion that you must have noticed that I already added this to the NE Portland list. I've signed up to update the OR, ID, and WA NRHP lists weekly, so you shouldn't have to worry about those, but do ping me if I forget or screw something up. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 18:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Sure! Thanks. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 18:35, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Lake County Road 40? Really?

Some anonymous IP was adding a "Lake County Road 40" to the List of county roads in Lake County, Florida, which you fixed. Does that road really exist? Was Florida State Road 40 downgraded to a county road in Astor? Because I don't see it anywhere on the official Florida Lake County Road map(http://www.dot.state.fl.us/surveyingandmapping/geomap/Volu_c.pdf). Then again, they incorrectly list the southern terminus of Hernando County Road 493 as being Hexam Road on the official Florida Hernando County Road map, when it's actually at Florida State Road 50. Please tell me this is some kind of error. ----DanTD (talk) 01:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I've driven that stretch bunches of times, but I wasn't sure. So I did some Google Street Viewing, and found this in Astor Park. So I'd say the answer is "No, it's SR 40." --Ebyabe (talk) 02:08, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page

Hi Ebyabe ... No worries. My reply at WT:NRHP wasn't in response to your message. It was Smallbones who implied that I wasn't acting like an adult and it was that posting to which I was reacting. Sorry for any confusion.

On a completely different topic ... I've always wondered what your WP user name means. My guess is the letters might be a combination of initials. Care to share the etymology? Just wondering. --sanfranman59 (talk) 19:48, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh goodie. I just want everyone to get along. :)
And on that side note, it's sort of an inverted conglomeration of eBay baby. I used to frequent that site a lot, and created an email account specifically for shopping there. It became one of my main use accounts (I have 3 or 4 others). I had to laugh a while back when someone here thought it was a woman's name. 'Cause I'm a man, baby! :) --Ebyabe (talk) 19:56, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the treat. Those sundaes look much better than the fudge espresso ice cream I just ate! I hope that second sundae is for you since you've been doing much of the updating the last few weeks. --sanfranman59 (talk) 04:30, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
