I tried editing the Info Box to no avail[edit]

There is an error in the coding after the coordinates. --MathewBrooks (talk) 15:29, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. It needed to have the "seconds" added for lat and long. --Ebyabe (talk) 16:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New infobox to combine both NRHP and WHS[edit]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites has a new infobox ({{Infobox Historic Site}}) that I think would fit this article nicely. It would combine the NRHP infobox with the World Heritage Site infobox, taking up less space and looking much better. I figured I'd bring this up on the talk page before adding the infobox, but the updated infobox can be found at User:Dudemanfellabra/Sandbox3. If there are no objections, I'll add this infobox to the article. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 04:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox has now been added to the article. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 00:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture[edit]

Article needs a more full description of the architecture of the house and the overall site plan. The NHL material should have information that can be used.Parkwells (talk) 02:20, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on Monticello[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected links on Monticello which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

http://jeffersonsarchitecture.shutterfly.com/
Triggered by \bshutterfly\.com\b on the global blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

File:Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.JPG to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.JPG will be appearing as picture of the day on November 16, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-11-16.

Picture of the day

Monticello, located just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, was the primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. Jefferson began construction of the plantation and its main house at age 26, and continued work for the remainder of his life, incorporating a wide variety of techniques and styles. The home and plantation were built and cultivated using slave labor. It is now owned by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which operates it as a house museum and educational institution, and has been designated a National Historic Landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site.Photograph: Martin Falbisoner

Maud Littleton campaign for Congress to buy Monticello[edit]

Why is there absolutely no mention of Maud Littleton's campaign for Congress to purchase Monticello? This occurred around 1911 when she was married to US Representative Martin W. Littleton. There are a ton of sources about it. She was called the "Lady of Monticello". TheBlinkster (talk) 22:44, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why no picture of slave housing?[edit]

I know it exists there; I’ve seen it myself. deisenbe (talk) 10:04, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

French cuisine - most modern kitchen[edit]

I created the article for Edith Hern Fossett, which has a section about Jefferson's interest in French cuisine and how he had the Monticello kitchen updated to be "one of the most modern kitchens" in the U.S. Fossett, James Hemings, and Fossett's sister-in-law, Fanny Hern were taught to cook by French chefs. There are several books, too, that are written about this. See Edith Hern Fossett § Further reading.

I propose adding some content about the ways in which Jefferson had the kitchen "decked out" and a mention of the cooks/chefs, but wanted to check in here first. Are there any issues with that?–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:18, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Slave vs. Enslaved[edit]

I reverted the edits that had changed "enslaved people" or similar terminology to "slaves" here. Slave is a dehumanizing word. See The Vocabulary of Freedom, Language of Slavery and other similar articles.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:03, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Debate to delete a Category[edit]

There is a debate over whether to keep Homes of the US Founding Fathers as a category. More opinions are needed. The discussion is located Here -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
