[edit] List of Registered Historic Places in Ohio
Hey, you know you really didn't need to add the Dayton, Ohio to all those ones you did. I know, now I tell you. That only needs doing if it's not unique. Like, there's no other Traxler Mansion, so it doesn't need to have the town it's in after it. Believe me, there's enough of those kind of links to disambiguate without having to do ones that are OK as-is.
Please, though, don't get me wrong, I admire the effort. It's nice to see someone else who's almost as OCD as me about stuff like that, doncha know. :) Btw, you should consider joining WP:NRHP. There's not, like, a maximum or minimum daily requirement for admission, just interest. And you seem to have that. Plus we have the occasional useful tool, like the infobox. Hope, perchance, to see you there! --Ebyabe 18:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hello! Ya, that may have been over doing it. I shall revert for now, if you haven't done that already. It all stemmed from South Park and the cartoon. But that's the historic district I live in. Anywho, it's quite overwhelming to think about what can go on here. I was really looking at starting an infobox, but was excited to see one has already been made. I really do have a ton of questions, and when I have time, I try to browse at what other acceptable historic sites and structures have done for their pages. The answers are probably right infront of my face, and generally requires me to do a little more reading. I do want to start out with Dayton's historic sites, districts and structures. I just have to get out and start taking photos of these or make the map. Oop, back to work. Thanks for taking notice of my meddling and trying to help without screwing things up too bad. And I will take you up on your suggestion in joining the help. --Kjmoran 18:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

- Nope, I've not reverted, I'll letcha. But I did fix a couple of minor city errors, so don't just undo. Like, there was an entry for the city of Perrysburg and. I picture some lonely guy in the basement of a gov't building entering all these, and sometimes just saying WTF. But it's a good idea to just go thru the blue links on the page to make sure they're going to the right place. See what I mean under U.S. Post Office and Howe Tavern on the Ohio NRHP list page.
- Ah, another picture taker! I'm getting a digital camera (my first!) soon. I'd already resolved to get photos of all the NRHPs down here in Florida; this'll make them that much better. But I'm starting to find others around the state who are also photo-ing, so I don't actually have to do them all myself. Where's the fun in that?! :) Btw, I drove through (or nearly through) Montgomery County a couple of years ago, on a 2 week long road trip. That day was leaving Nashville, driving thru Louisville, Cincinatti, Columbus, then stopping near Newark. I have to get back up there one of these days, and see all the covered bridges and Mound Builders sites.
- Back to work now, sorta. Later! --Ebyabe 19:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Great Dayton Flood
Hi and thanks. I just poked around in your sandboxes, you've got some great things in the works. I stumbled onto the flood article quite by mistake, but now that I've done that bit of research, there are some related changes/expansions and perhaps a new article or two. When I get them drafted, I'll drop you a note, especially if they have a connection to your masterpieces in progress. CRKingston 01:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I look forward to any and all your contributions. I'm not much of a writer. :) --Kjmoran 03:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Let me get back to you on the flood items. My real job is very demanding right now. It might be mid-February, but I will get back to you. CRKingston 02:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- No worries!--Kjmoran 02:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox problem at St. Anne's Hill, Dayton, Ohio
I fixed the problem with the infobox at St. Anne's Hill, Dayton, Ohio. For some reason, the SVG file wasn't scaling properly at 288 pixels, like this: 
It shows up as blank (at least for me, in Firefox. Maybe IE works properly.) I tried it at 273 pixels and it worked fine. As a workaround, I scaled the SVG file down to 288 pixels and uploaded it to the Commons, and it appears correct now.
In summary, it doesn't look like you did anything wrong. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 18:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- ARGHHH! Why does SVGs do this? Thanks!--Kjmoran 18:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New NRHP Collaboration Division
Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] mostmetro.com
Despite your classy message on my talk page, I'll try to keep my response above board.
In my professional opinion, the link violates the following external link guidelines.
1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. 3. Links mainly intended to promote a website. 11. Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority.
You will likely assert that the content of the individual mostmetro pages include a list of neighborhood venues and neighborhood events. This information could easily be inserted as a list into each article. WP is not here to "Our objective is to promote the existing assets of the Dayton urban core and to enable engaged citizenry." If you have further comments or complaints, speak with an admin rather than leaving snarky messages.Montco 21:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
