Thank you. I intend to get better at my articles. I visited Annapolis Royal recently and was suprised that the historic buildings in the town did not have much of an online presence. I hope to help improve this. HISTORBUFF (talk) 15:42, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It's fine to make some mistakes early on. Creating articles is one of the most difficult things to do on Wikipedia, and most editors initially get it wrong. I always recommend starting with easier tasks; you may find some at WP:JOBS. If you do create more articles (nothing wrong with that), it might be good to still go through AfC. At least that's what I'd recommend. Happy editing! Actualcpscm (talk) 15:53, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry, but this is is the Adams-Ritchie House not the Adams-Ritchies House. There is no letter 's' at the end of Ritchie. Can you please change the title of the page? HISTORBUFF (talk) 17:51, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just fyi, changing the title of a page is called a WP:MOVE. I‘ll do so when I get the chance. Actualcpscm (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buildings and Monuments on the Canadian Register of Historic Places has been nominated for deletion

Category:Buildings and Monuments on the Canadian Register of Historic Places has been nominated for deletion. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm ok with deletion, but…it is really hard to get accurate systematic data on Listed buildings in Canada. The historicplaces.ca website crashes with any difficult task and the Wikipedia info seems is siloed and hard to follow (ie https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historic_places_in_Annapolis_County,_Nova_Scotia) is there a better solution? For example, how can you find the 50 oldest buildings in Canada with info on each? HISTORBUFF (talk) 16:56, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello HISTORBUFF, and greetings from Moon Base Alpha. Regarding your intergalactic quest for categories, try this query of canada historic buildings categories. There you'll find such categories as:
