Expansion

User:Doncram: I saw a red link for this architect in an article you created. This looks promising.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sure, I agree, nice start already. From NRIS2013a, please feel free to copy or adapt:

Works include (with attribution):

Goddard Hall, S. Horseshoe between Espina and Sweet, NMSU, Las Cruces, NM (Thorman, O.H.)
Hidalgo County Courthouse, 300 S. Shakespeare St., Lordsburg, NM (Thorman & Frazier)
Rio Grande Theatre, 211 N. Downtown Mall, Las Cruces, NM (Thorman, Otto H. and Guy L. Frazer)
University President's House, S of University Ave. between Espina and Solano, NMSU, Las Cruces, NM (Thorman, O.H.)
Women's Club, 1400 N. Mesa St., El Paso, TX (Thorman, Otto)

Seems like he partnered and/or worked with Guy L. Frazer or Guy Frazier, try also Thorman & Frazier, Thorman & Frazer. Some of those links should be redirected to this article and their names should appear in bold within it. --Doncram (talk) 15:27, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Doncram: If you find references, you could expand the article too...Zigzig20s (talk) 20:38, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, and maybe will do so later. For architect articles, besides general Google searching, it seems useful to visit all the NRHP documents of the NRHP-listed places they have created.

Before, at least temporarily, there was some kind of "under construction" type tag on the article, and your work was perhaps ongoing, and I didn't want to edit conflict. If I post something like above, I am trying to contribute it to you, and please do feel free to sweep it into the article, and amend however you like. By the way when I leave {{under construction}} on an article i have started, it usually means that I am most likely leaving it alone for a bit, i.e. it is apologetic in nature and I post it when I am stuck without sources or whatever, but hope to come back later and search and do more. And I do try to get back but don't always succeed. You are always welcome to edit, with or without such a tag being on an article, and I don't mind edit conflicts where someone is coming in to help me out of some new mess i got stuck in! --Doncram (talk) 21:05, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between {{under construction}} (when other editors may edit) and {{in use}} (when they may not).Zigzig20s (talk) 21:09, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Right, i couldn't remember what was the latter one. Maybe I should use it sometimes when I know I am engaged in editing that is going to take multiple edits.--Doncram (talk) 21:21, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I can't find Guy L. Frazer's obituary on Newspapers.com.Zigzig20s (talk) 23:01, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
