[edit]

Hi User:Greghenderson2006, thank you for creating this nice article! I made a few small edits. One thing: could you update the "access-date" field in your references to today's date, say, if that is accurate. Only leave it as "access-date=2013-11-21" if that in fact is the date you accessed the references... Or i dunno perhaps you did create it in 2013 and left it in a sandbox, i can't tell if you copied it over.

But specifically for the sentence: "​It is still operating as a bed and breakfast lodging establishment." supported by "Gosby House Inn". Four Sisters Inns. Retrieved 2013-11-21., it would be a lot stronger of a statement if the source was checked in 2022 not 2013. Actually the sentence should be "In 2022, it is still operating as ...".

Hope this small comment is minorly helpful. You've done a nice job already, keep up your good work! --Doncram (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram:, Your Welcome! Thanks for pointing out the access-date issue and adding a talk page. I have now correccted the issue. --Greg Henderson (talk) 22:35, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
2014 photo in which house happens to be a different color
"East Entrance Sign", a National Park Service rustic architecture-style sign built by Civilian Conservation Corps which was listed on the NRHP on July 7, 1987, with NRHP reference number 86003710. (See Nancy Witherell (October 10, 1984). "CLASSIFIED STRUCTURE FIELD INVENTORY REPORT: East Entrance Sign". National Park Service. Retrieved February 8, 2022. With accompanying photo from 1984.)
Greg Henderson, thank you again. :) By the way I do like the 2010 "main" photo in the article, but I prefer the 2014 photo as a supporting, secondary photo, over the photo of a sign. I am among longtime editors within WikiProject NRHP (wp:NRHP; you are welcome to, you are invited to join, and either way to post at wt:NRHP about anything). Where everyone came to the conclusion years ago that we don't like pics of "mere" signs; we want pics of the historic resources. Like often a new participant will take photos of "Welcome to X-neighborhood Historic District" sign and use that to illustrate an article or to serve as the one photo for the historic district in the corresponding list-article "National Register of Historic Places listings in Y County, Z State". And not take pics of the architecturally interesting houses that justify the historic district listing! The sign is itself not historic or interesting in any way! Well, except for when the listing is for the sign as a historic resource itself. Cheers, --Doncram (talk) 15:58, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram:, thank you for your comments. I've changed the sign image back to the 2014 image of the house. I love the National Register of Historic Places and when traveling to the Monterey Peninsula, I try to document the places that do not have an article, e.g. Gosby House Inn. We have a family house in Carmel, so love to visit the area. I did not know the concept of 'signs', but as you describe it, it makes sense. I'll leave these type of pictures for the Wikimedia Commons media pages! --Greg Henderson (talk) 16:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
