Hi FloNight, thank you for chiming in at ]! I'm happy to take mucho credit for having developed out much of the ], and it's nice to be appreciated! :) It would be great if you'd add pics for Matewan NHL or for other Registered Historic Places in Williamson or the rest of ] or in counties in KY you'll cross thru on your trip.

'''Tip of the month:'''
I am really mostly focused on NHLs, but since you are so nice, and to give you a few places to upload RHP pics to, i just expanded into table format the Mingo county section ], covering Williamson, WV, the ] Pike County, KY section covering Pikeville, and ] for Floyd County, KY, covering Prestonburg, which seem to be on your route. (It was using a tool supported by Elkman, so it was really no big deal.) Let me know, or post at ] if you'd like any other county lists developed into table format sooner rather than later. These include addresses. For these and other counties, though, you know that provides nice lists with addresses. On a couple road trips i went on, i printed the relevant counties from NRHP.COM and found it very helpful to have the printouts.
* ''Think of rewarding contributors, especially newcomers, with a ].''


'''Other ways to participate:'''
Those tables in the wikipedia list-articles now also give addresses and latitude/longitude. You may or may not know you can click on "Map of all coordinates" in the same list-articles to get to a Google map with all the RHPs mapped (at least those having coordinates in the tables). The NRIS latitude/longitude data seems pretty good, pretty accurate about 99% of the time, and 1% gross errors.

== Administrators' newsletter – December 2024 ==
:Followup--got ur note--glad u find the tables helpful. If you do upload pics to commons but don't have time to create articles on the sites, you can just replace the hidden comment "Image goes here" in the Image field in the table for the relevant rows, with a note "Commons pic(s) avail.". I have been doing similarly, often, when I have noted that Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) pics are available for a given site. By the way, on a recent road trip, I was happy to have every large-scale printout showing multiple locations and every zoomed-in printout for each separate location from the google maps that i had prepared beforehand, and happy to have every annotation that i had personally added to the printouts (actually, i had trouble getting the printouts to show everything, so i had to hand-annotate locations i think, and to mark distance-scalings on the printouts so i could interpret them). Where i had less info on this trip, i often failed to find the site i was looking for; where i had more info, i was very glad. I also had put all my NRHP.COM printouts and the Google printouts into a 3-ring binder, which i also was very glad to have done. So i felt i was learning a lesson to print out and organize as much as possible in advance. But u can only do so much, of course. Have fun on ur trip! ] (]) 22:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

] '''Technical news'''
::::Not really. There are actually two options. Option one is that the stuff FT2 posted was a valid official arbcom decision and upon review arbcom decided to retract it. Option two is that there was never an ArbCom decision and FT2 posted his own concoction and presented it as an arbcom decision thus violating the arbitration policy. So, which one is it?
* Technical volunteers can now register for the ], which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.


] '''Arbitration'''
::::Did ArbCom indeed hear the secret case, came up with this decision and later decided to retract it due to the events that unraveled or was that not a valid case to begin with and just FT2's musings? The new statement posted "on behalf of ArbCom", this time by CM, states that the decision is now "vacated." I take from it that there indeed '''was''' an official decision on the secretly tried case where the arbcom acted as an activist agent rather than a judicial body, the arbcom member acted as a detective, prosecutor and a judge (did not recuse) all at once, the accused editor was not notified and the arbcom produced this decision (now vacated.) Am I correct to assume that this was the case?
* The arbitration case '']'' (formerly titled '']'') has been closed.
* An arbitration case titled '']'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

::::Could you please reply as soon as you see this message? It's really a yes/no thing and it is about truth, not judgment whose making up may take time and conferring. This series of continued evasions we see from arbcom members is really unhelpful. TIA, --] 01:50, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

== ''This Month in GLAM'': November 2024 ==
I think ] is an excellent proposal. Would you support investigation of the events by an Arbcom of another WMF project or creating a comission for investigation from the mebers of different Arbocoms (plus probably ex-arbitrators and people appointed by WMF)? ] (]) 03:32, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
