@Libertyhellion: The common name of this building is "Liberty Hill". If you have a reliable source documenting that the house was previously named something else, feel free to add a sentence to the article stating that. But stop deleting the infobox. You don't own this article. And see C:COM:FOP US: This means that for buildings completed before December 1, 1990, there is complete freedom of panorama, without regard to whether the building is visible from a public place, because the building is public domain, except for the plans.. Your house is not protected by copyright. C F A 💬 16:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you want to read my detailed reply on why the "common name" of this structure is in fact not "Liberty Hill" you can find my long explanation on another thread. It wasn't the common name for this structure until, ironically, Wikipedia itself made it the common name: there is no documentation WITHIN the NRHP nomination itself to back up the claim, and my longer reply explains why that is the case. Tautologically, Wikipedia is actually creating and sustaining an error that obscures the true history of the house and the African-American history associated with it, which was the error of one individual at the time the NRHP nomination was written. I am trying to correct that. Until Wikipedia published this article the "common name" for this dwelling was "The Boykin House", not "Liberty Hill".

Finally, you can drop the patronizing tone: I never claimed I "owned" this article (the prefix Wiki- having been, by -ahem - "common knowledge" associated with crowd sourced material for the past twenty five years). The infobox is not the Holy of Holies and I didn't defile it. It's still there and I promise not to touch it again with my ham-fisted editing. Libertyhellion (talk) 05:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
