[edit] Task Forces

[edit] Guidelines

[edit] Article names

The name of the article should be the current, formal title of the place. Other accepted names can be indicated in the first sentence with bold text. If there are multiple places with the same name, the article should be entitled Name (City[, state if necessary]).

[edit] Wikilinks

  • All the separate lists for each state or territory need to have their blue links checked, to make sure they are linked to unique articles. Disambiguation is required for a number of articles, especially common names for the local "Post Office" and train stations or churches. Make use of piped links for an existing article with a different name than the title that appears on the NRHP.
  • Click on a red link that appears on the list. From the resulting page, "search for the article in Wikipedia" to possibly locate an existing article with a different name about the building or place. The name on the list should match the name on the NRHP database - with corrected spelling, as required (Refer to: Other useful links, below). Use a piped link from the existing article name to the redlink on the list. In this way, the Palmer-Perkins House (Boundary Increase) will be linked directly to the Palmer-Perkins House article, for example.
