Talk:Greensburg Downtown Historic District (Greensburg, Pennsylvania)

development and naming

Hey, Canadian2006, really great work in developing this nice historic district article! I noticed it being announced at wp:NRHP.

I notice the hatnote linking to another similarly named district in Kentucky, and I find in the National Register's NRIS database that in fact there are 3 historic districts similarly named. I just set up Greensburg Downtown Historic District as a disambiguation page, to which I would like to set up a redirect from "Downtown Greensburg Historic District" so that it is a combo dab covering both wording orderings.

Actually, the current page, named "Downtown Greensburg Historic District" for this one in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, seems incorrectly named. The NRHP name according to NRIS database is "Greensburg Downtown Historic District" and since there is another one of exactly that name, the article name should be "Greensburg Downtown Historic District (Greensburg, Pennsylvania)". In NRHP naming I and others have been appending (City, State) where necessary. Canadian2006, would you, or is it okay for me to, make the move of this article? I could open a formal wp:RM requested move process to allow wider discussion if you like. I wonder if you have different sources though, that use the other word order. --doncram (talk) 15:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

By the way, also, the NRHP nomination text and photos should be available, via Pennsylvania's ARGIS system, to use as a great source for more development. I am not very good at using that system myself but there are other PA NRHP editors who use it frequently. But maybe you can get into it without trouble on your own. --doncram (talk) 15:34, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Got your reply to my Talk page. Made changes/rename/move. Thanks! --doncram (talk) 23:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, I changed the article to show area of 21.8 acres, not 218 acres. The source you used, which i refer to as "NRHP.COM", is a private website serving up a copy of National Register's NRIS database. One error their programmer made is not interpreting the area field properly: all their areas are off by factor of 10. An alternative which I use is to use User:Elkman's NRHP database tools interface at http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/. --doncram (talk) 23:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
