Are these places on the National Register of Historic Places?

Hi Recline. If they are, mention it, and they won't get deleted. See Butts Bridge. --Shirt58 (talk) 06:08, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, there are. If the ID # was still available on the list, I noted it in the picture descriptions when uploading. When it wasn't available, I included a notation that it is part of the Nat Hist Places and included the date entered on the places list. Is there some other place I should indicate this information, or in a different manner?

--Recline (talk) 06:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Is there a way of retrieving the deleting pages for the John Palmer house and William Park house to add the "Connecticut listing at www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com" line to them? Or do the uploaded photos still exist someplace. I'd like to avoid going through the entire process again if its at all possible.

--Recline (talk) 06:40, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Recline, and welcome to the sometimes bizarre world of Wikipedia. It's immense! It's complicated! And it's the 5th most popular website on the planet!

Ok, what happened was: Wikipedia principally is text-focused. If you upload a picture of something without a description of why it should be part of an online encyclopedia, even if is on the Register, it may get deleted very quickly. Butts Bridge survived because a description was added.

I have to do some housework for a while, but I'll get back to you soon. Have you started voting yet?

Hi Recline -- I am thrilled to see you adding multiple pics to several Connecticut NRHP articles, including your adding 3 nice pics in this edit to the Edward Waldo House article. That's an article i edited previously, and i've done a lot of other CT NRHP articles. I'd love to help start any NRHP articles where you have a photo, if the NRHP article is not started yet. I can usually add an infobox and a good NRHP nomination document as sources. From your mention above, it seems that John Palmer House (Lisbon, Connecticut) and William Park House need articles? I'll try at those. I'll watch here for a bit. But feel free to request any other starts, or to ask anything else, at my Talk page. Again, really glad to see the pics and your starting articles that are needed! Cheers, --doncram 21:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I found my uploaded photos (sorry I'm new to this) and so am remounting them. FYI - I got photos last week for various Natl Hist Places including Ashlawn and the William Parker house in Bozrah, the Lathrop/Mathewson/Ross, Andrew Clark, and Palmer houses in Lisbon, the Captn Clark house in Canterbury as well as other Canterbury Hist district homes (Lathrop, Carter and Payne houses (Payne is also known as Prudence Crandall School of Negro Girls), the Rochambeau March in Canterbury, Ashland site in Jewett City, Kinne Cemetery in Glasgo, and some Jail Hill shots in Norwich. All of these are either in New London or Windham Counties. And you've already seen Butts Bridge and the Waldo house. I hope the list helps.

You will notice I'm not very good at the graphic placement of these photos... they aren't centering very well. I'll try to figure out how to fix that. --Recline (talk) 03:18, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
