Hi Ken,
I've just revised and publsihed my addition to the Raymond Hood article -- in the same spirit as my revision of my contribution to the Ely Jacques Kahn article. Check it out and let me know if it's OK. I'll soon get to work on that little addition to the article on (Hood's) Daily News Building.

Revision as of 06:13, 15 September 2012


It is The Reader that we should consider on each and every edit we make to Wikipedia.

(Thanks to Alan Liefting)

Hi Ken, Thanks for your comments. I'm completely new to this business of editing Wikipedia articles so please bear with me. I've revised my addition to the Ely Jacques Kahn article. I believe now that (aside from direct quotes between quotation marks) the information taken from the online article by Frank Heynick is not only nowhere presented verbatim but is conveyed with sufficiently original phrasing. (The source is, of course, attributed.) I look forward to your feedback. If you agree with the above, I will get to work on the Raymond Hood article and the Daily News Building article and revise them similarly.

Very much better, no copyvios that I could find. I did a little editing on it, added wikilinks, and took out some of what we call original research - which basically means unsourced personal opinion. It seems pretty good now, so I look forward to your re-dos of the other two articles. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:05, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ken, I believe ti's essential to mention that the fictional Guy Francon was highly classicist in architectural style. (This is blatant in the novel, not a matter of interpretation or opinion.) So I'm adding something in the appropriate place. Also, a typo "based in large measure from" becomes "based in large measure on."
