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)
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." Vleermuisman Vleermuisman (talk) 09:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- V: It doesn't matter if it's "blatant" or not, you're going to need a source to support it. If it's that obvious (I'm not doubting you), finding a reliable source that says it won't be a problem. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:32, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- On second thought, I think it's OK as description and not anaylsis. I removed "highly", though. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
