exercise for tonight's class
editLighthouse development accelerated in the 17th century with Britain's Trinity House constructing its first in 1609, and a national lighthouse services established in Denmark (1650). In the UK, the first Eddystone Lighthouse was lit in 1698, though its third incarnation was the most enduring, designed by John Smeaton and finished in 1759. As Britain became the dominant sea power, lighthouses constructed by the Stevenson family for the Northern Lighthouse Board began to appear in Scotland.
The earliest light in North America was in St. Augustine, Florida, depicted on the map of Boazio, printed in London in 1791. Menendez built the tower after his landing in 1586. Boazio interviewed Drake's crew on their return from the sack of St. Augustine.
The next lighthouse in America was Boston Light on Little Brewster Island (1716). The first keeper was George Worthylake who drowned, along with his wife and daughter, when returning to the island in 1718. The original tower was destroyed by the British during the evacuation of Boston in 1775 and eventually reconstructed in 1784. The oldest existing lighthouse in the United States is the Sandy Hook Lighthouse in New Jersey (1764), which is still in operation. By the end of the 19th century, the United States, with its long coastlines had the most lighthouses of any nation.
A modern automated lighthouse on St. Paul Island The US Bureau of Lighthouses was created in 1789 by the 9th Act of the first Congress which placed lighthouses under federal control. Over the years, lighthouses were placed under the direction of U.S. Department of Revenue (disbanded in 1820), U.S. Department of Treasury (until 1903), then the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Lighthouse Board (of the U.S. Lighthouse Establishment) held sway from 1852 to July 1, 1910, when the Lighthouse Service was established. The United States Coast Guard took over on July 7, 1939.
After 1852, the U.S. was divided into lighthouse districts; originally eight, then eventually numbered 19. Each district was run by a naval officer appointed by the Lighthouse Board as the District Inspector. He ran the district in tandem with an Army Corps of Engineers' officer who was in charge of engineering projects. In 1910, civilians started replacing the military officers.

@The Herald: - This is my first attempt at creating an article. Thank you for taking the time to review and get back to me with suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I need to do to "Run a copyedit for style and linking" on the Draft:Boat livery article. Is this a special bot for finding errors? I know certain bots exist, but I have not yet discovered how to access them. Did I do something wrong related to references/citation coding? Thank you for your help and patience :-) Chimp1cards (talk) 02:02, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Chimp1cards. I saw your query at the AfC help desk. It is not normal to decline a draft solely because it needs relatively minor copy-editing and more internal links. Your topic was suitable for an encyclopedia and adequately referenced. As you can see, I've accepted your draft and moved it to Boat livery where you can continue to work on it. I have made a few changes to it which I have discussed at Talk:Boat livery. In future, you can also create an article directly without having to go through Articles for Creation. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Many thanks for your work, welcome to Wikipedia, and best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 15:31, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Voceditenore: Thank you for your help. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement :-) I have to say that adding missing citations is much easier than the process of creating an article from scratch. Quite a learning curve for this. Have a wonderful day and thanks again!! Chimp1cards (talk) 02:39, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Library, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Widgets and Plug-ins (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
