On the Rosie the Riveter page, the J. Howard Miller poster states "J. Howard Miller's "We Can Do It!", commonly mistaken to be Rosie the Riveter" yet on this page for the historical park, the caption for the same image directly contradicts that. Which is true? -- Anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.51.173 (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I would trust the Rosie article since that one is backed up with a source. I edited the caption accordingly here. howcheng {chat} 21:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether.

Renaming

edit

It looks like this article was renamed to remove the slash without any discussion or sourcing. A similar name tweak, also by @Mdewman6: on Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park just got reverted by @Dcflyer:; I'm not sure exactly how to revert name changes cleanly, so I'll just leave a note here. I do note that the legislation to create the park includes the slash (see https://www.congress.gov/bill/106th-congress/house-bill/4063/text ) and that the current NPS website, while it expresses the name in multiple ways, does include the slash in multiple instances on the web pages reachable from https://www.nps.gov/rori/index.htm JohnMarkOckerbloom (talk) 15:20, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your point is well taken. I was being bold in trying to tie to official names, but did not consider that the underlying legislation would be different. I am happy to move it back if that is the consensus. I guess this raises the question of whether to adhere to the official name per Congress or the more common name per NPS. But the fact that NPS uses the backslash intermittently suggests its omission is just an abbreviation of sorts. Mdewman6 (talk) 17:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
