This information is widely available in the public domain and highlights this woman architect's accomplishments. Some of this information has appeared in the NYFA website.

Some of this information? It was almost a straight copy-and-paste job, for shame. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 21:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

It was definitely copied and pasted from somewhere. The oddball characters that show up in place of typographer's apostrophes are a dead giveaway. It reads like a press release. The tone s definitely not encyclopedic. The sources are not properly cited. This article has a ton of problems!!! I almost don;t know where to start. Realkyhick 19:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Update: It looks like the original author is making considerable progress in answering our concerns. NYeditortisch, if you need some help let us know, but you're moving along quite well. You might want to check out WP:REF to see how to handle references and footnoting properly — you're pretty close to it now as it is. Realkyhick 05:00, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

just a comment... The oddball characters that showed up are not a reflection of a copy-paste from a website... but from a word document where I typed it originally.User:NYeditortisch

references How many more references are needed to fulfill your requirements? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NYeditortisch (talk • contribs) 16:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC).

I'd say you have plenty now. Good work. But one more minor thing: Some of the language you have used to describe the subject is a bit on the flowery, overly-praising side. A couple of editors have already toned this down a bit. Just remember this is an encyclopedia, which is supposed to have a formal tone to it, and don't drift off into the land of press-release prose. It appears that Ms. Bausman's accomplishemnts are enough to stand on their own. Realkyhick 18:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

If everything is cleared with text copyright - is the notability tag going away any time soon at all?
