Appreciate your work

Hi. I saw your edits to the articles about the NRHP listings in Orleans County, particularly in Albion, a while ago, and only recently have I had the chance to get around to letting you know, that as the original creator of some of them (and the guy who took the photographs during an off-and-on stormy afternoon over six years ago on the way to a get-together in Buffalo (where I lived once, and got married)), I appreciate the updating. Since I was back down in the Hudson Valley where I live writing them, I had to rely on whatever the Register applications (old as they were) said plus anything I could find online, as sources (And if you have access to sources for the updated information, that would be great).

I take it you're the Orleans County historian? (Is this you?) A good person to have aboard. You might be interested in adding your name to the list at WikiProject National Register of Historic Places; it's a fairly active group of us devoted to the articles on that list (Register-listed properties are considered inherently notable since the federal government approved them for a national list of historically significant properties; that's why we endeavor to have articles about all of them, hopefully with pictures).

I would be very happy to help you out around here in any way you need, as far as learning the ropes or finding resources. Feel free to ask, and happy editing! Daniel Case (talk) 23:25, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Holley, New York, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Berry (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
