Abner Phelps House

"Other" is the default output of the NRIS and is a catch-all for literally anything other than the few "categories" they use for architectural styles. It's a quirk of the NRIS system, not some kind of property of the house itself. The term is vague and unhelpful. If you know of an actual architectural style that describes this house, please add it. Otherwise, displaying "Other" as some kind of official architecture is nonsensical. kennethaw88talk 16:23, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River
was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

moved Splif200 user into your userspace

Hi @Jooojay: I moved Splif200 user to User:Jooojay/Splif200 user and tagged the original page for speedy deletion. It looks like you were trying to create a user talk page to welcome a user, but accidentally created the page in mainspace instead. I couldn't find a user named User:Splif200 user, though, so I'm not sure where that message was meant to end up - please go ahead and move/delete/etc the User:Jooojay/Splif200 user subpage as necessary to accomplish what you meant to do. Thanks! --Opus 113 (talk) 05:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

@Opus 113: oh weird, thank you that was definitely a mistake. I don't have the ability to delete pages however. Jooojay (talk) 05:59, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
@Jooojay: Sorry, yeah, that was imprecise; I just meant I wasn't sure if you would want to move it to a particular User talk: page for the user you were trying to welcome, or tag it as db-userreq to have it deleted. --Opus 113 (talk) 06:11, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
