Hi, I'm Nemesis63. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Chauvet Mağarası, and have un-reviewed it again. If you've got any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Thanks, Nemesis63

Hi. Just thought I would let you know that I removed both the {{autobiography}} and {{BLP sources}} tags from this article, as the subject is apparently deceased. --Drm310 (talk) 06:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for patrolling new pages. With attack pages, like a couple just now, it's probably best to tag them only with G10, even if other criteria like A7 also apply. That way (I believe) the system gives the attacker a more appropriate warning on the lines of {{uw-attack}}. (I have blocked that attacker as he persisted). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:02, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Answering here because I just archived December: The time needed for promotion varies; I'm not involved in promotion at A-class since I review all of them. You're welcome, and I think GAN makes sense. - Dank (push to talk) 13:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little skeptical of some of the advice you're currently getting, although I need to look at the article more carefully to see if my skepticism is justified, when I can get to it. - Dank (push to talk) 01:21, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how to respond to some of them. I'm not really keen on taking much of the background info out, because the Anglo-Cherokee War article is relatively pitiful on its own. I'd rather have a mini-explanation, rather than direct someone to get their background info in a less-than-polished article. Cdtew (talk) 16:18, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've now responded fully, for your reviewing pleasure. Cdtew (talk) 18:33, 12 January 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Clark, on 30 December I contributed a new Wikipedia article on the late Michael Croft, founder and director of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Within four minutes of my doing so you had slapped a "Multiple issues" – "footnotes", "refimprove" and "pov" – tag on it. As you know, this advises me either to "improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page." I therefore tried to explain the position and sought your advice there. That was over a week ago, so I thought it was time to bring it to your attention here as well! Peter Farey (talk) 10:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peter, see my response on the talk page for that article. Apologies, as for some reason I wasn't watching that page. Cdtew (talk) 14:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Clark. No harm done! Peter Farey (talk) 16:00, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WP:NRHP. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or better yet ask at

I have added plenty that I went out and shot today. I'll make it a goal to get as many as I can. Thanks! Cdtew (talk) 23:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I added the Bethany Church pic to the Ebenezer Academy, Bethany Presbyterian Church and Cemetery article. I was a bit surprised at first, but I think this makes sense. Keep up the good work. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 23:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's another issue I'm trying to solve. Two homes which are definitely listed on the NRHP in Mooresville aren't present on this list. I'll try and dig them up and add them. I hate the NRHP's website. Makes me want to choke myself out. Cdtew (talk) 23:28, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've tried to do some research on NRHP stuff in the past, also. Their site is pretty difficult sometimes. Lots of other Wikipedians have made it easier though. The NRHP wikiproject has resources that help (their FAQ is helpful too). One thing to watch out for is that some places say they are on the NRHP even though they merely exist in an NRHP historic district or they've been de-listed for whatever reason at sometime. I have seen those things happen sometimes. But if they truly are, then I'll try to help you find them as well. What is missing? -- JoannaSerah (talk) 00:01, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joanna, thanks for swooping in to help again! The two properties that I think are missing are located next to each other, one on Wilson Ave, the other on Academy St. in Mooresville (they occupy the same corner at the intersection of those two streets. Off-hand, I don't know the addresses, but I could dig up GPS coordinates. The only reason I believe they're on the register currently is because I've seen them on a map of NRHP-listed places in Mooresville that was provided by a consulting firm for the town. Thanks for the help with my userpage, by the way! Cdtew (talk) 00:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The house on Academy Street is at Lat 35.579801 Lon -80.819563, whilst the house on Wilson Ave is Lat 35.580141 Lon -80.819890. If you're looking at Google Maps in default orientation, Academy and West Wilson form an "X", and the houses are in the top "quadrant" of the "X" (rather than left, right, or bottom). Cdtew (talk) 00:12, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm...Interesting. I'll keep looking, but haven't found anything on those properties yet regarding NRHP. Doesn't yet appear that they were on it and de-listed either. Only have found some mentions of local historic notice, not NRHP. Maybe they are currently in the nomination process possibly? Do the properties have names/titles of any kind that you know of? Might want to take to the project talk page as well. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 02:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange, I don't recall making that edit. It's possible I accidentally clicked the rollback button on my watchlist (the page is on my watchlist) and didn't notice. My sincere apologies. Volunteer Marek 15:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cdtew! I was just wondering if you had a few moments to review a DYK? nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/Martha B. Alexander I had posted the nomination a while back, but no one has reviewed it yet. Don't know if that means it just wasn't that interesting a factoid or what. Maybe too much time has passed since it was nominated now, I don't know. Anyway, if you get a chance, could you take a look at it. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 21:14, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Thanks for bringing that to my attention; always glad to help! Cdtew (talk) 21:53, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Saw your request at the WPNC talk page about Fort Dobbs and will see what I can do about that. Not sure that I should really do a review since I did contribute a tiny bit to it, but will look over FA guidelines and see. Not done a FAC review before. Anyway, good luck. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 16:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hate to bother you again, but have another that no one seems interested in reviewing, it appears. Please see Template:Did you know nominations/Charles W. Albertson. Next time, I may just ask for help at the NC project talk page instead. Thank you for your help. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 20:23, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be glad to help, and am always happy to do so -- feel free to ask here first, as I'll likely pick it up off the WP:NC page anyways. I, too, have two that are hanging around at Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Polk and Template:Did you know nominations/John Hamilton (American Revolution).

Thanks for the heads-up on John Hamilton. I'll have a look. I've done some work on the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, on King's Mountain, and role of the Overmountain Men and on Joseph Martin (general) who was a real piece of work himself. Anyways, nice work on Fanning. Cheers, MarmadukePercy (talk) 03:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is amazing work; it's a fascinating-looking article, and I can't wait to read it. Out of curiosity, I noticed you didn't have an Infobox. Is that personal preference, or just an omission of necessity? I am a slave to putting Infoboxes in my article, but I rather like the look of Joseph Martin without an infobox. Cdtew (talk) 03:08, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. He was a pretty fascinating guy. As for infoboxes, I guess it's a matter of personal preference. Generally, for reasons I can't explain, I like infoboxes on most pieces, but when it comes to biographies, I find them distracting. I've tried it both ways, and I have no objection to others using them. I guess when it comes to one man, or one woman, I generally like to see the page without distractions. Just personal preference.

This is a note to let the main editors of

Fort Dobbs was an 18th-century fort in the Yadkin–Pee Dee River Basin region of the Province of North Carolina, near what is now Statesville in Iredell County. Used for frontier defense during and after the French and Indian War, the fort was built to protect the British settlers of the western portion of what was then Rowan County from Cherokee, Catawba, Shawnee, Delaware and French raids into North Carolina. The fort's name honored Arthur Dobbs, the colonial Governor of North Carolina from 1754 to 1765. When in use, it was the only fort on the frontier between South Carolina and Virginia. On February 27, 1760, the fort was the site of an engagement between Cherokee warriors and provincial militia that ended in a victory for the militia. Fort Dobbs was abandoned after 1766, but archaeological work in the 20th century and historical research in 2005 and 2006 led to the discovery of the fort's exact location and probable appearance. The site on which the fort sat is now operated by North Carolina's Division of State Historic Sites and Properties as Fort Dobbs State Historic Site, and supporters of the site have developed plans for the fort's reconstruction.
