Thaks for all the DC photo! Have you seen Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Historic_Places/Fall_2011_Photo_Contest#Challenge_.233_Washington_DC. The contest starts on Friday October 21 (photos taken and uploaded after October 20)
I think there is a minor mistake on your part, and a major mistake on my part about the Takoma HD. I'll try to correct them tonight.
Gotta run.

Hi, I've tagged Grant Road (disambiguation) for speedy deletion under G6, as it currently disambiguates only two pages of which one of these is the primary topic. I added a hatnote at Grant Road which should resolve the need to disambiguate from the Historic District. Best, France3470 (talk) 07:35, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Since you have more detailed experience about individual properties, in general the downtown properties are what, like early residences of the city? I mean I can look and count myself, but I guess I'm just thinking of something general to put in the lead to summarize all of the properties. I don't think I want to put # of houses, # of commercial buildings, # of fire stations, sounds boring to me. CTJF83 21:23, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

On 13 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dr. Franklin E. Kameny House, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Frank Kameny House in Washington, D.C., was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in the gay rights activism of its namesake? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dr. Franklin E. Kameny House.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I notice that you've recently made some edits to National Register of Historic Places listings in Woodbury County, Iowa, and created an article about the Badgerow Building and the Warrior Hotel in Sioux City.
If you're planning to work up a set of articles on Sioux City sites, I expect to be up there with my camera within the next month or so (at the request of User:Frankie Rae, who's been working hard to improve our coverage of buildings by William L. Steele). If there are specific buildings that you'd like photographed, please feel free to leave a list at my talk page. If there are particular aspects of buildings that want to be shown, suggestions would be welcome. Ammodramus (talk) 16:50, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I tried to finish up the DC NRHP photos on Thursday, but didn't get all of them. The Gallinger Hospital should be easy, but I got the wrong building! There's a new listing which I hadn't noticed for a school. The SE 9 boundary marker would require some ropes or maybe mountain-climbing equipment (not to mention the 2 mile one way walk) to get under the I-295 bridge safely, but at least I found a 1907 photo. Consider that one done - or maybe hire a helicopter! I'll be going to get the Carousel early AM on May 4 to get shots without kids in them, and will take care of the odds and ends then. I know that I've put in a few photos under the rule "better some picture than nothing" - if you have anything that you think should be re-taken please note that at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/unillustrated DC
All the best,

But 1st you might want to send an encouraging message to User:Ellin Beltz
I don't know if you are still interested, but I'll be meeting with the Spring Flower Show people at the All Hallows Guild Carousel at the above time and place. Please join if you can. Rain date is 9am the following morning, and I may go Friday evening as well to get the carousel in action, with indistinct pictures of kids. I don't like the potential hazards of photographing identifiable kids, so my main thrust will be on the animal figures while the kids aren't there (i.e. Thursday). I also promised you and a couple others dinner - how about that Friday at an old NRHP firehouse in Georgetown, the Vigilant Firehouse (Washington, D.C.)? Smallbones (talk) 15:04, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

On 22 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article St. Mark's Pro-Cathedral (Hastings, Nebraska), which you created or substantially expanded.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum and Wikimedia DC present the "Masterpiece Museum" Edit-a-Thon. Drawing from their vast vaults of art, the caretakers of the Smithsonian American Art Museum have meticulously drawn forth canvas jewels to import into Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia articles. The museum directors and staff are excited about this project, and would love to have experienced Wikimedians help in the effort! Kirill [talk] 18:00, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Siemer House.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:06, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.
Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Where is the building Commons:File:St. John's SS 1.jpg? Is it on the grounds of the Georgia Ave. church, the Rosensteel Ave. church, or somewhere else? I was thinking of proposing an article move from St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church (Silver Spring, Maryland) to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church (Montgomery County, Maryland) because of the two locations, but if the replica is outside Montgomery County, then it gets a bit complicated (unless there is no other St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Maryland). --Closeapple (talk) 00:56, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Diocese Lincoln Nebraska Arms.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
What's going on buddy? CTF83! 02:21, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
December 10 is Ada Lovelace's birthday! Not only was she the world's first computer programmer, but also the world's first female open source developer! Come celebrate with Wikimedia District of Columbia at Busboys & Poets for an informal get together!
The Washington, DC event will be held on Monday, December 10, 2012 at Busboys & Poets on 5th St NW & K St NW near Mt Vernon Square. The area is easily accessible by the Red Line Chinatown stop and the Yellow Line and Green Line Mt Vernon Square stop, as well as by WMATA buses.
Please join Wikimedia DC and four other local media nonprofits—the National Press Club's Young Members Committee, 100Reporters, IRE and the Fund for Investigative Journalism—in winding down another year with a night of well-mannered frivolity.
The festivities will take place on Friday evening from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the Zenger Room on the 13th Floor of the National Press Club, located on 529 14th Street NW, near Metro Center. There will be meat and vegetarian appetizers as well as a cash bar with specially reduced drink prices all night long. In addition, we will be exhibiting the finalists of the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest at the event.
Hope to see you there! Kirill [talk] 04:35, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
