[edit] how to do a redirect
I'd be happy to do it for you, but it's easy. 1. create a new article for Congregation B'nai B'rith 2. In that article, include only
#redirect [[Wilshire Boulevard Temple]]
That's all. :) doncram (talk) 06:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] any more churches that are NRHPs?
You're welcome about the redirect info, and it is a good idea for that exact purpose.
I see here you've been creating articles on churches in the LA area. If there are any churches that you want to do that are on the list of NRHPs, I would be glad to help, and I believe i would be able to help in significant ways. The List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles County, California shows articles created already for NRHPs in LA area, and many redlinks. An easier-to-read list, with street addresses and more info, is this list of LA County NRHPs at NRHP.COM. Let me know if there are any you want to do. Anyhow, keep up the good work! doncram (talk) 06:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- You mention going through Los Angeles landmarks, and I did see one of your references in the Wilshire Boulevard Temple article was for some landmark number 110 or something. Do you mean you have a list of official California state landmarks in Los Angeles, or a list of official City of Los Angeles landmarks? In either case, I would like to help take on those systematically. For one thing, there is need for an infobox customized to those, like the NRHP infobox is customized for NRHPs, to hold the number and so on. I could help with that, if you are doing that. And if you are, is this in connection with WikiProject Southern California or any other wikiproject? doncram (talk) 06:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

- Got your message about Burbank City Hall and Breed Street Shul. I have gone and edited both of those somewhat. I observe that you must be creating NRHP infoboxes by cutting and pasting from another article, and then editing in the new article (because, for example, you had the REFNUM for the Burbank City Hall in the infobox for the Breed Street Shul). If you do any more NRHP sites, it is much easier for you to use what I call the Elkman NRHP infobox generator, developed and maintained by Elkman for the NRHP. Just go there, search and find your site, and then cut and paste from its output there. It will be all filled in with actual information from the National Register Information System database, from which Elkman did a big download of data. Then you can make further changes if you have additional information. Anyhow, very nice job with both of those articles! doncram (talk) 22:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Cali NRHP articles
Those are really nice articles. Great photos. Great development of the text. The stubs are nice too. I am meaning, by the way, to go out of my way to visit the Burbank city hall, one of your previous articles that i am most interested in (and which, as a public building, I expect will be more open to a visitor bumping in than other places). I think the only thing i have to suggest, is, please announce your new articles in Wikipedia: WikiProject National Register of Historic Places! There is a new articles list-box on its main page, just hit edit and put yours in at the top of the list. That will get a few NRHP writers more experienced than me to visit your article, and they may have more substantial suggestions to make. You're certainly invited to join the WP:NRHP directly, feel free to sign up on the main page. But whether you do that or not, you are welcome to announce the new articles and to participate on the project's Talk page. Really, though, you're doing great.
Oh, I wonder, do you know that you can request the full NRHP inventory-nomination texts, and accompanying photosets, from the U.S. National Park Service? They send them out for free. You just have to request them by email to nr_reference (at) nps.gov (send your postal address, they copy and send out by postal mail). You found one of those documents useful for the synagogue article, which they happened to make available at their website. It's usually a very good source; you should just request it routinely. doncram (talk) 05:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Registered Historic Places in the City of Angels
Hi CBL -- I just started up List of Registered Historic Places in the City of Angels as a list-table to cover just the NRHPs in the city of Los Angeles. I would like to add some intro text and put it up for DYK, along the lines of "did you know that the City of Los Angeles has 123(or whatever) sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places".
For now, I am leaving off a Description/Summary column, until the DYK happens, because it would be impossible to fill it all out.
Could you take a look at it? Please discuss at the Talk page. doncram (talk) 21:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, good, glad you do like it. The rest of LA County (and, apparently some more that belong in this list, are sitting now in List of RHPs in LA County. Please transfer over whatever other rows should be transfered over into the City of LA table. I don't know all the neighborhoods of LA, nor do the good people at the National Register. By the way, i have a recent pic of Bolton Hall in Tujunga, but i wasn't aware that was in LA. I did know already to transfer over the places listed in NRIS as being in Hollywood, North Hollywood, and San Pedro. Perhaps the NRHP people were anticipating that the referenda for independence of Hollywood and Long Beach/San Pedro were going to pass.
- I will propose the DYK to give credit to you too, by the way, though you get more of them every week than i ever have gotten in total... :) doncram (talk) 00:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks for stepping in fixing up location information (and/or switching across the City vs. County lists). About Naming conventions, in regards to "Al Malaikah Temple - Shrine Auditorium" and others, though.... in a list of National Historic Landmarks such as List of NHLs in CA, I use the NHL program names for sites. In a list of RHPs, I prefer to use the NRHP program names for sites (which differ from the NHL names in some cases). For the actual article names, a more common name is fine. In the NRHP infobox in a page about an NHL, i use the NHL name, though. And otherwise use the NRHP name in the NRHP infobox (again, both of which may differ from the common name and name of the article). So, this is not a big deal, but I think "Al Malaikah Temple" is the correct name to appear in the List of RHPs in the City of Angels, although that may link to an article named Shrine Auditorium. The problem is, we are temporarily constrained by having no Description column for a few days until DYK expires. In the description column, it would make sense to work in the Shrine Auditorium alternative/common name. doncram (talk) 04:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) I agree about splitting out Pasadena, also. Am surprised it has so many. It is definitely next. But let's be strategic about when to split it out to create a new article, so as to put it up for DYK. Let's see if the LA DYK (not yet submitted) flies. doncram (talk) 03:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, i see that you have been busy with the photos! Great work, i am very impressed. Appears almost 1/2 of the 186 have photos already. I took pics a while back of Baldwin Hills Village, will add one of those, but otherwise i am done for a while and will not be able to add more.
- Yesterday i put it up for DYK, in the cohort of articles started May 15, so it should be up for DYK for tomorrow the 20th already i think. The nomination is at [[1]]. It would be nice if you wanted to propose a picture to include with the DYK, or to suggest any alternative wording. My nomination wording is not that great. I am not sure how it works with giving co-credit; i asked to share credit with you and with KudzuVine. KudzuVine has been great about adding pics into list-articles about National Historic Landmarks in many states, and he responded to my request to add pics here, too, although neither he nor i have done as much as you.
- After the 20th, I'll add a description column so that we can try to say something short and interesting about each site, if that is possible... :) doncram (talk) 15:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, i've been away a few days. I see you've kept adding photos. Here's a copy of DYK recognition received, i don't know why they didn't award it directly to you too. doncram (talk) 02:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
P.S. http://stats.grok.se/en/200805/List%20of%20Registered%20Historic%20Places%20in%20Los%20Angeles shows 2,728 hits on the article, peaking on the DYK day of course. Pretty good for a DYK, i believe. doncram (talk) 07:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

- There is no real deadline. There is a momentum effect sometimes, where if people start objecting other people think the objections are valid and object too. We want to clean things up before people object. For the image you just need to document one publication date so that we can verify it is in the public domain. You can follow along with the rest. I am kind of pushy with trying to get things in front of reviewers. If I waited for you to do it, I don't know when it would happen. Thanks for being supportive of my effort. A FAC generally will get a solid week before it is seriously considered for closure, but some candidates are under consideration for five weeks or so.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pasadena, and List of RHPs in LA County
Hi -- It's taken me a while to get caught up with some other stuff, after being away for a week or so. Earlier i added a Description column to the List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles and put in a couple sample short descriptions, plus commented about that in its Talk page. Also i edited List of RHPs in LA County to separate the 96 Pasadena ones into a separate table, which can go into a new article. How do you want to proceed with that? I was thinking we could collect photos for the Pasadena ones, adding them into this table, and then when ready create the article and a 1500 word intro and go for DYK. The table development could be with the Description column included or not. I am inclined to include it all along. I am guessing the DYK will be accepted, as long as the article is new and the paste-in from the existing article is just the table, with the text to be created within the new article, so it will be viewed as brand new 1500 word article (as opposed to having to create something that is 5 times as long as the sum of all the descriptions in the table). Let me know what you think. (Also, maybe you could email me and we could try to get together sometime, perhaps to meet in Pasadena taking pics? There's an email-to-me button on my userpage.) Anyhow, i see you are continuing to do great stuff, keep it up! doncram (talk) 03:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Got your message back. Okay, there's no rush about anything, this is a hobby we just can work at when we can and feel like it, it is not supposed to involve any undue pressure. If u'd care to meet in LA i could do that too, in particular i want to get to the main library sometime soon. By the way, check out User:Doncram/Sandbox4, my first draft starter table of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments. You haven't started the equivalent yet, have you? Otherwise i don't think it exists yet. I may contact the Dept of City Planning to see if i could get an electronic file of it, perhaps with lat.-long. coordinates too, as it would be quite tedious to type in all 856 of them. Need to pick a different color too, the skyblue color showing is the color used to designate National Historic Landmarks within lists like the List of RHPs in LA. I believe i can get a LA HCM line and date added to the NRHP infobox, too. doncram (talk) 05:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Los Angeles Plaza Historic District
I note there is not a separate article for Los Angeles Plaza Historic District, while it deserves one separate from the Olvera Street article that the List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles article links to for this district. Notably, the district includes buildings on other streets, as the district is "Roughly bounded by Spring, Macy, Alameda and Arcadia Sts., and Old Sunset Blvd." I found a relevant link to use in such an article, and pasted it into the description for the district within List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles. I wonder if you want to create this article sometime; I'll leave it for you in case you may want to, rather than just creating a stub right now. doncram (talk) 00:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] L.A. Historical-Cultural Monuments infobox
We think alike. An infobox for LAHCMs is needed. I believe that there is too much hard-coded about NRHPs into the NRHP2 infobox for me to adapt that to cover sites that are LA Historical-Cultural Monuments (LAHCMs) but not also NRHPs. However, its code can be adapted to create a new infobox on LAHCMs alone, or perhaps on LAHCMs and also California Historical Landmarks (CHISLs), or perhaps to cover any generic local designation. See my posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places#Local designations enabled for NRHP2 infobox. If you would post a comment there about what you see is needed, or how importance that is, that might be helpful in getting others to help. I believe there is sympathy for this need, and i know others have expertise that would be relevant.
If an infobox is developed for LAHCMs specifically, what information should it include? Certainly it should allow for the LAHCM site number, rather than the NRHP refnum. I do think the WP:NRHP discussion thread is the right place to develop these ideas, though. doncram (talk) 15:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pic trip
About the last pics for List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles, i'll get that one missing one in Silver Lake, if u haven't already. Also i could make a pic trip to get Van Nuys and the 2 in Chatsworth, or i could make a pic trip to get the 3 in San Pedro and the 1 in Wilmington. Please let me know if you have those in your camera, or in your sights, already. That leaves just a few others. One towards LAX, maybe u got it already, open on Saturday and Wednesday only. I expect u r mopping up the remaining ones downtown. Cheers, doncram (talk) 03:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, very close. Okay, good to know about the gatedness of Garbutt House. May try to get it anyhow, will try to consult a near-neighbor to there. Okay, u do Chatsworth then and i will try to score the 5 near San Pedro. By the way I see Big Orange Landmarks blogspot guy, who you have cited before, was able to score both of the Chatsworth ones: Chatsworth ones at Big Orange Landmarks blogspot. That blog seems useful to follow for tips how to find some sites. Cheers, doncram (talk) 04:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

- I went to San Pedro and got Battery Osgood-Farley, Municipal Warehouse No. 1, and the Wilmington Branch Library). I'll upload them in the next few days. I also got pics of a pillbox, down by the water, that may or may not be the other Battery that i thought was needed (while i thought we already had a pic of Battery Osgood-Farley near the hilltop). But:
- American Trona Corporation Building is located inside the Fort MacArthur military base. I got a Public Affairs phone number to call, to try to make some arrangement. But the officer at the gate, although helpful about other sites, did not know of the American Trona building. So I am requesting the NRHP documents on it from Washington, to be more informed before trying with the public affairs office. Also there is a chance the NRHP documents will have a useable photo.
- S.S. Catalina is the former ferryboat to Catalina, and is reported to be sinking or sunken by now, in Ensenada Mexico (reported by ticket-sales-person for the current Catalina ferry, located under the big bridge, who knows because it was in news reports and because she saw it sinking there in Ensenada, herself). I took a pic of the terminal building, and will upload that. S.S. Catalina took about 4 hours to make the trip, while Catalina Express does it in about 1 hour now.
- I went to San Pedro and got Battery Osgood-Farley, Municipal Warehouse No. 1, and the Wilmington Branch Library). I'll upload them in the next few days. I also got pics of a pillbox, down by the water, that may or may not be the other Battery that i thought was needed (while i thought we already had a pic of Battery Osgood-Farley near the hilltop). But:
-
- About the Kerckoff Building and Annex, the LAHCM document gives 3 alternative sets of street address numbers for it: 553 S. Los Angeles St., 101-133 E. 6th St., 558-564 S. Main St. ( think the NRHP lists just the first address). So i am not looking at a map right now but figure it may run along 6th street between S. Main and S. Los Angeles St. then.
