February DYKs: Hopefully can get some good ones lined up, or maybe 28 of them? for Black History Month in 2019.

Hey, @Bubba73:, i wonder if you know of good candidates for NRHP sites related to Black history, and/or if you could help with photos or otherwise? I am adding a candidate Georgia one below, now. I may browse in Georgia and Alabama NRHPs for a while, next in my general NRHP writing, where there will be more candidates than i come across in my writing articles for Utah, say, by contrast, and I will watch for more candidates myself. These can be created in Draft space or in User space and moved out later. Or probably can create in mainspace and apply for DYK but with release date planned ahead to be in February. I think DYKs saved up for April Fools Day and otherwise saved up are in mainspace, i have to check. This might be a small effort, but some others may participate too. --Doncram (talk) 23:17, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Good Samaritans

edit

From reviewing NRHP listings with "Lodge" in their name, i come across Mount Tabor Good Samaritan Lodge No. 59 (1899), Crownsville, Maryland. Not Masonic. This is another one of the less-known African-American community fraternal organizations. Its article links to Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria (currently a redlink). Create that, and/or maybe a list-article about assorted local organizations like this one is needed; i have cumulatively seen a lot of one-off articles about these. --Doncram (talk) 22:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

assorted African-American clubs

edit

Could there be a List of African-American clubhouses equivalent to List of Masonic buildings in the United States and List of Elks buildings and so on, to cover miscellaneous ones, and perhaps cover Prince Hall Masonic Lodges? Prince Hall ones include:

and

 
Mount Tabor Good Samaritan Lodge No. 59

How find other ones? Categories of clubhouses?

What about tomato clubs? And other women's clubs?

Out of List of womens' clubs:

See all 14 within Category:National Association of Colored Women's Clubs

User:Doncram/February DYKs/Grey Columns: Grey Columns is home of president of historically black college Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. President currently is Lily McNair. Built in 1854, presumably slave-built (cn?) It is a large late Greek Revival plantation house, "embodying most of the characteristics of high-style Greek Revival with some Italianate-style details. Slave quarters gone. Center of 5,000 acres (20 km2) cotton plantation.[1] Was HABS-documented as Varner-Alexander House

Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma

Friendship CME Church

edit
Maybe double DYK with church and person, Fred Lewis?

Robert Hicks House

edit
Maybe double DYK, or just the person?
Hmm, seems not possible now. The house article has been expanded a lot, and there is also now Bob Hicks (activist) article already. I did just fix up necessary disambiguation at Bob Hicks now, though. --Doncram (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Discussion

The idea is to create articles in User:, Wikipedia:, or Draft: space, get DYKs approved in advance, ready to run in February. The ideas above, to start, related to NRHP items i came across in last year or two or three. Hmm, some are naturally bio articles, about which I am not so much experienced. Some of the DYKs could be doubles, with an article on a house or other site plus a person article. User:Zigzig20s, are you in? --Doncram (talk) 17:31, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

  • I could add more ones about African-American neighborhoods, such as Sand Hills Historic District started recently, and other topics, as I come across them, without putting them into mainspace. In GA, AL, maybe Oklahoma. I will start that now, if one turns out to be eligible for this, i will put it into Draft or User space.--Doncram (talk) 19:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
