Hey Whisenhimer, I'm sorry you're having a bad experience with one or more of your contributions to start. It is very hard to get started in Wikipedia. Contact me at my Talk page if I might be able to help. --do ncr am 06:01, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To User:JMHamo, i noticed activity at List of Odd Fellows buildings and then found my way to here. Hey, editor Whisenhimer's original version of article may not have established Wikipedia notability clearly (i can't see it), but I dug around and found that the 1872 building built for the Odd Fellows in Frankfort is in fact listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as a contributing building in a historic district that does not yet have a wikipedia article, Frankfort Commercial Historic District (Frankfort, Kentucky) (currently a redlink, covered in NRHP document here). Could you please restore the article (and ping me), so that I may develop it together with Whisenhimer. It may get moved, perhaps to "Oddfellows Lodge (Frankfort, Kentucky)" as the 317 St. Clair Street building is referred to in the NRHP nomination. Or I may move it to the historic district article title, and then expand that to be about the district while keeping a section about the Odd Fellows building. --do ncr am 06:07, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article got restored and I added a bit, and it should be okay now. Whisenhimer, however, are you still here? I fear that you were driven away by the unpleasantness of having your contribution deleted. :( --do ncr am 22:42, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
