[edit] About Referencing

Please try to follow referencing guidance described at WP:REF. I call attention to this as recently a wikipedia editor added a new source of info on Crouse College, a current webpage at the VPA school which uses the building now. A long passage was pasted in. The beginning and ending of the passage was clearly identified. Personally I was willing to try to work with the material, but felt it at least needed formatting to show what was a quote more clearly, like to show the exact webpage it came from and to use quotation marks and/or block quotes. Another editor removed the passage for it being an apparent copyright violation, which was reasonable, too, in my view. I have now tried to edit back in some use of the material. In general, it is okay to quote from a source like the webpage, with proper referencing. There was referencing with the original passage, but the passage was long and it wasn't set aside in a block quote, and perhaps the length of the passage was too long to be used under "fair use". Again, let's try to follow guidelines in WP:REF, and/or post questions here. Obviously there are several wikipedia editors watching this page like hawks, so help is available! :) doncram (talk) 23:10, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a spectacular building. I note there is a one photo available at Historic American Buildings Survey, but there is only one. More photos are needed!-doncram (talk) 23:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Currently there are three in the article. Do you want exterior or interior? --ZeWrestler Talk 17:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I've added some more images of both the interior and exterior. I hope that helps. --ZeWrestler Talk 04:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
