Blackberry River Inn (Norfolk, Connecticut)

Hi Bayside7. Welcome to wikipedia. I find my way to you by noticing your edits to the Litchfield County NRHP list-article. I see that there was a proposal already to delete Blackberry River Inn (Norfolk, Connecticut), your first article, but it seems, offhand, legitimate to me. I'll try to help. Hang in there! The first few articles are the most difficult, as you learn what it takes to survive here, then it is easier.  :) Cheers, --doncram 13:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Followup: With a little work by me and now contributions by another editor or two, the article is definitely saved, is definitely going to be kept. Good work in starting the article! And nice pic, thanks! As a National Register-listed place, it is definitely Wikipedia-notable. It was a little confusing to me in that the nice photo you provided doesn't appear to show a 1763 house, rather it displays the Colonial Revival work of the 1920's which is why the place is National Register-listed. And it was confusing perhaps for others that the common name of the place is "Blackberry River Inn", appropriate title for the article, but the National Register listing was under its older, historic name. I'll try to get back and add more later.

Coincidentally, i just a few days ago started an article about Alfredo S.G. Taylor who designed this place and a lot of others in Norfolk. It would be really great if you are local or visit or otherwise could take pics of other of Taylor's works in the area, or of other places on National Register of Historic Places listings in Litchfield County, Connecticut. I mostly work on NRHP and other historic sites articles in Wikipedia, and would be really glad to collaborate on articles. I'll "watchlist" here, but please feel free to contact me anytime at my Talk page. Cheers, --doncram 14:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much for helping me with editing this article, as you know it is my first one on wikipedia and it was a little complicated in the beginning to comply with all of wikipedias rules. Actually, I have been at the place a couple of times and I also know the current owners pretty well, so when I am there the next time, I will certainly try to take pictures of some of Taylors other works. Once again, thank you for your help, and as soon as I have more pics to support your articles, I will let you know. Regards, --Bayside7 (talk) 16:12, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Good, I do hope you feel it's enjoyable to contribute here. Great if you get around to taking more pics of Taylor's works and I will be very glad to help start/develop articles about them. Cheers!--doncram 21:21, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
