Ways to improve Dixon High School

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Busguy9, thanks for creating Dixon High School!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add sources. This has no clear references, I don't know if the 'external link' was used as a source or if this is WP:OR, can you please WP:INLINECITE some at least one reference, prefably not a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Boleyn (talk) 07:46, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Busguy9. FYI i moved the high school article to Dixon High School (Dixon, California) so that other schools of the same name could be listed at Dixon High School, which is now a disambiguation page. And I added a sentence to the article, giving the size of the school as having 1,183 students, based on a recent Vacaville Reporter newspaper article. It would be great if you could add a bit more, perhaps a photo or two if you can get them. FYI I think editor User:Boleyn might be concerned about the short size and lack of references, as it is a key step for an editor to add references. Like others are concerned about other very short articles you've created recently, which have been nominated for deletion, which might be how I found my way here, myself, i am not sure. It is hard for anyone to get started in Wikipedia, but I hope you find your way! Let me know if I can help... I'll watchlist here but feel free to post a note to my Talk page to reach me for sure. --doncram 23:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

historic sites in Vacaville area

Hey, if you have some association or interest with Vacaville, I wonder if you could possibly help on creating/developing articles about four historic sites located there:

• Will H. Buck House
• Pena Adobe
• Pleasants Ranch
• Vacaville Town Hall

All four of these are currently redlinks, but they are definitely valid Wikipedia topics. If you wanted to start any one of them I would be very glad to help, including by adding the available National Register of Historic Places nomination documents as references. For address info and geolocation and perhaps a bit more, see their rows in table at National Register of Historic Places listings in Solano County, California. I think photos are needed for all four. Could you possibly be interested? These are sure things while articles about transportation centers are dicey. :) There is some strategy to getting started in Wikipedia and building a good reputation, and discouraging critics from following you and making things hard, i.e. by doing some recognizably solid contributions. :) --doncram 02:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

E.g. if you wanted to create an article on the Vacaville Town Hall, apparently a two-story 32 by 44 feet (9.8 m × 13.4 m) building, you could use this reference with footnote coded as: <ref name=nrhpdoc-VacavilleTH>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=78000799}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Vacaville Town Hall / Old Town Hall |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Cliff Bisbee |date=December 30, 1977 |accessdate=August 13, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=78000799|photos=y|title=map and three photos}}.</ref>, as one source anyhow, plus you could probably find other sources. --doncram 02:32, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I am interested in Vacaville and will create those articles tomorrow when I have the time. Should it be Pena Adobe or Peña Adobe? I don't know how to do the references very well or geolocaxion I would need help with that.Busguy9 (talk) 02:36, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Pena Adobe

Okay, you go ahead and I will add to what you start. You can start an article at Pena Adobe and then move it (use Move tool which is a tab available to you, like "Edit source" and "View history" are tabs), to Peña Adobe, which will leave a redirect behind, so readers looking for either will find it. You can get a pretty good start on these National Register articles by use of NRHP infobox generator tool here, just enter "Pena Adobe" say and see that it generates a copy-paste ready infobox and a bit more, to paste into the new article you are creating. (There is more info about it and other tools/stuff at wp:NRHPHELP.)

While I am at it, a NRHP document reference for the Pena Adobe is: <ref name=nrhpdoc-PenaAdobe>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=72000261}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Peña Adobe / The Peña Adobe on Los Putos Rancho |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Wood Young |date=July 8, 1970 |accessdate=August 13, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=72000261|photos=y|title=three photos from 1965}}.</ref>

References

cheers, --doncram 02:49, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Hey, i see you have been busy. I see also there are pics available for Will H. Buck House and Vacaville Town Hall at the Solano County NRHP list-article. Also the NRHP document reference for Pleasants Ranch is: <ref name=nrhpdoc-PleasantsRanch>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=06000280}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Pleasants Ranch, or Hoskins/Pleasants Ranch|publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Carol Roland |date=May 9, 2005 |accessdate=August 13, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=06000280|photos=y|title=22 photos}}.</ref>.

References

Certainly we can add more about each of these places to their articles, using these sources and perhaps finding other more recent sources? --doncram 03:39, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Redirect

I've tagged Peña Adobe for deletion so that Pena Adobe can be moved to that location, since it is technically the correct title. Home Lander (talk) 03:28, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
