Again, welcome! KennethSides (talk) 13:33, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

a couple of thoughts

Great edit at Second Empire architecture, those architects were an excellent addition to the article, though I'd not consider the edit to be a "minor" one. Secondly, Detroit has the habit of turning out some fine editors, might you be one? And finally, if you put something,anything on your user page then your user name will appear as a blue link rather than a red one suggesting, among things, that all your edits do not need to be double checked. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 14:12, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I am trying to discover if the term 2nd Empire for an architectural style is just used in the US & Canada. It seems so, my European books use other names for it. Feel free to leap in on that (or any other) topic. Carptrash (talk) 18:52, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Second Empire architecture

Heyo Markhole! My name is TechFilmer, and I saw your work on Second Empire architecture. The article is very thorough but it lacks a couple of things, namely inline citations. If you wouldn't mind adding some of those in, we would all greatly appreciate it. Refs can be added by typing

<ref name="what ever you want to name it">place reference here</ref>

which in turn gives you . You may reuse the same reference multiple times by typing

<ref name="what ever you want to name it" />

after the first instance above giving you. Once you are done with that add

== References ==
{{Reflist}}

at the bottom of the pages. This will give you this:

References

Thanks again! TechFilmer - Please reply on my talkpage 12:02, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi!

When you do -91 useful things to an article, would you please leave a little edit summary so that I don't think it's some horrible vandal deleting stuff? Amandajm (talk) 15:35, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

No, it wasn't intended to be sarcastic. It is simply that when one sees the -91 changes have been made to a watched article, the watcher is obliged to check. However, if one sees from the edit summary that the -91 is accounted for by the reformatting of spaces, then I don't bother to check. Particularly when I know that a named editor regularly applies themselves to tweaking formatting in that manner. I watch a lot of articles, and I would rather not have to search for the minor tweaks made by people who simply tidy-up. There is enough work to do with those people whose -91 means a significant gap in the wording! Amandajm (talk) 07:28, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I am wondering why

you removed the "Those before 1898 were with Mason and Rice" from the "commissions" section of George D. Mason ? You seem to have added Rice's name to some of those commissions but not all of them. What's up? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:56, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Well that's fine. I didn't feel a need to revert your edit, I was just wondering. Carptrash (talk) 22:04, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

After a couple of weeks searching I've finally documented that the Thompson Home for Old Ladies was designed by Mason & Rice. Back in that day architects rarely, if ever did projects such as that outside whatever firm they were in. I will make some changes to those articles and probably a few more. Carptrash (talk) 15:39, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Great! I'm sorry, I won't trust Hill & Gallagher any more... Markhole (talk) 13:33, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Trust is a wonderful thing, I do not want to mess with it. H & G told the story, just not the whole story. Carptrash (talk) 15:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

If you are interested in an email exchange with Gallagher & Hill on this subject I'd rather forward them to an email address than post them here. Let me know. Carptrash (talk) 19:29, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

That would be really great... Markhole (talk) 18:05, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Got it sent off. Carptrash (talk) 03:16, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

I.O.O.F. Centennial Building

I intend to nominate this for a WP:DYK. We need a good hook. Maybe we should add more about the Odd Fellows and the architecture from the Alpena News article. They would have to be added to the article and referenced. Suggestions would be appreciate. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I want to significantly expand the architecture section. The NRHP registration form contains a lot of material too. I'll work on it tomorrow. Markhole (talk) 20:38, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Nicely done! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:50, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

FYI, there is a "location" section of the book citation template which ordinarily should be used. Small point. You can wikify the publishers, too. Take a look at what I did to polish the article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:09, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I still have a lot to learn! Markhole (talk) 10:20, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Harv error detection

Your welcome! Very good work on creating articles = way better than most!

An idea to be able to detect "harv errors" like I do here,

is to go to the Wikipedia:Help desk and ask for the "Harv Error" detection tool and how to install. Then when dates (or whatever) don't match,

the tool shows them up in bright red. Then you can correct immediately on your own, before others find it. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

E-mail thoughts

Meanwhile, I suggest you remove your e-mail address as it can (and will) be picked up by Bot web crawlers and bad things can happen. You might want to then activate the e-mail option in your wikipedia Preferences. Just a suggestion. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:29, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

A precious suggestion. Thanks. Markhole (talk) 12:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

I apologize if I am coming across as an officious intermeddler. I mean well. You have great promise and ability as a contributor, and I want to help. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:00, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

There's absolutely no reason to apologize for anything, your help is truly appreciated. Thank you again. Markhole (talk) 13:26, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

If I can be of service, assistance, etc., please let me know. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:47, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

• Preferences can be found here on YOUR User page.

At the bottom is the Email options. Its a good idea to provide your email address.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:23, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

@Doug Coldwell: Added. Thank you! Markhole (talk) 21:09, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

@Markhole: Another nice trick is to learn the "ping" - where it alerts the other person you have a message for them (i.e. reply).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:16, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

@Doug Coldwell: I got the email alert, but no trace of the email. Could you send it again? Markhole (talk) 22:34, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The ping worked just fine for the alert to me. Explanation in a new email from another account. You should get it.---Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:34, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Marker

I notice you are putting to good use the markers I photographed at Brush Park. Since when I have a digital camera, I started to photographing them. Do you happen to know about copyright content of a marker? can someone use it on a wiki article? (I'm talking for myself, not you, I completed some pages on Garden District and French Quarter using the content from some markers.) --Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:20, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

@Elisa.rolle: I am no expert in the matter, but if you quote the content indicating where it comes from, I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. --Markhole (talk) 21:34, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
