If needed, that information can be added to the article as prose, or you can put it in the "characteristics" section of the other infobox. I can't see how either of those is important (and all are available at the NPS reference) so I didn't add them when I removed this one.

The nris is in the process of being replaced, and it will allow pulling up info based on refnum, so that this reference could be a link into NPS's database, with potentially any information(images and drawings) stored there, and is significantly easier than the current method of accessing the NPS info. In addition, the mpsub is a category of NRHP sites. Not a big deal, but better to have, than to have to track down again. Also, your comment about size of article vs infoboxes is legit today, but maybe not in the future. Don't have an issue with your update, just didn't want to lose the number Ahwiv (talk) 23:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
