June 2024[edit]

I see that yo have changed information in the article National Register of Historic Places listings in Miami County, Ohio, without providing a source for the changed version. You have said at Template talk:GeoTemplate that the address has been changed on the National Register of Historic Places, and you may well be right. However, the problem with changing information in articles just because someone creates an account and comes along and says it should be changed is that unfortunately very large numbers of people come to Wikipedia and make claims which are false, whether deliberately, or sincerely but mistakenly. Wikipedia therefore requires citations to reliable published sources. If you can provide an exact citation, so that the information is verifiable, that will be very helpful.

Hello, thank you for responding so quickly. I am not familiar with working with Wikipedia, and I understand and appreciate safeguards from making changes on a whim. I own the property in question. My grandfather was William H. Hobart. The property is on the National Register of Historic Places because the house was completely fabricated of welded steel in the Hobart Brothers factory in Troy, Ohio in 1939. It was brought here on a flatbed truck. There are three corrections I am trying to make; 1) the address is 995 rather than 905, 2) there is indeed an occupied house here, and 3) the photo of the entrance is wrong (it is our neighbor's). This link to the original registration showing the correct address is https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985903. I have added a correct photo of the entrance gate, but I am not sure how to delete the incorrect photo. Oh! also, one of the sites I visited earlier today had a pin on a map with the wrong address/gps coordinates. Will that correct itself once the address has been verified? Thank you, Alexandre Hobart Bravo AHBravo (talk) 22:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
