E is for Elverson

[edit]

The Elverson Building should be alphabetized under "Elverson", not "The".--BillFlis (talk) 12:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Nyttend (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PMA?

[edit]

How on earth is the PMA not on the list? john k (talk) 20:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company Building? Nyttend (talk) 21:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's a separate building, across the street from the main building of the PMA. john k (talk) 21:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Do you mean this building? If so, I don't know why; new buildings are listed frequently, and you don't have to be the property owner to begin the nomination process. Nyttend (talk) 22:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, that building. It just seems odd that it wouldn't be listed - it's a huge landmark in the city, and it's quite old. BTW - is the source for these lists only listed at National Register of Historic Places listings? It seems like the source should be repeated on each individual page. john k (talk) 22:35, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused: what source do you mean? Nyttend (talk) 02:46, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh, do you mean the sources given in the headers, such as you can find at the tops of the columns at National Register of Historic Places listings in Stewart County, Tennessee? Nyttend (talk) 02:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if that's what I mean. What I mean is that this article gives no indication of what the source of the list it gives is. Where does it come from? john k (talk) 05:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[unindent] Source is the NRIS, reference [4] on the Stewart County list, which is quite sufficient if you click on it. Our main problem is the lack of this reference in the Pennsylvania articles. Nyttend (talk) 12:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I figured that was the source. It should be listed here, though. john k (talk) 16:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Retake photos?

[edit]

This is just a list of photos I might want to retake if/when I'm in the neighborhood. Many of the suggested photos are my own, and their is no intent to criticize anybody's photos - we just don't always arrive at the right time of day, season of the year, etc. Smallbones(smalltalk) 17:58, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

North Philadelphia? Or Center City?

[edit]

Spring Garden Street is generally considered the boundary between Center City and North Philly. That's where I've always considered it to be (for what that's worth), and that's what it says in the "boundary" sections of the Center City and North Philadelphia articles. The Philadelphia map on this page draws the boundaries without labeling them, but it appears to use Spring Garden Street. I thought that that was an uncontroversial view. So, when I saw that Park Towne Place was listed on this page, I thought it was an oversight. I removed it here, and added it to the corresponding Center City list.

After changing the two lists (including the manual ranking changes -- is there an automated way to do that?), I noticed that a bunch of other sites are in the same state:

Does the National Register of Historic Places distinguish Center City from North Philly? Or is this distinction being made by Wikipedians? If it's the former, we should describe their system, rather than linking to the Center City and North Philadelphia articles without explanation. If it's the latter, we should move these sites, and any others that are similarly misclassified. TypoBoy (talk) 02:05, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: the linked document "Political Boundaries of Philadelphia", from the John Street administration gives Vine Street (rather than Spring Garden Street) as the boundary between Center City and North Philadelphia. It gives no explanation for this aberration. (Was Mayor Street being loyal to his native North Philadelphia by claiming some new territory for it?)
This does not explain how the Franklin Institute (which is south of Vine Street) makes the list. I note that the geographical coordinates provided for the Franklin Institute put it on the site of the Free Library. I'll correct that. TypoBoy (talk) 14:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have reverted my change, putting Park Towne Place back on the North Philadelphia list, pending the outcome of this discussion. TypoBoy (talk) 14:52, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
