This article links to the page about Kentucky's current capitol building, but it wasn't built until the 1920's. Goebel was shot after crossing Broadway and walking toward the old capitol building.
[edit] GA Nomination
The image of Mr Goebel need a fair use rationale before I can confirm GA Status. All other targets are met no problem. BigHairRef | Talk 13:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Apologies for the delay in changing the article's status. Was an oversight on my behalf. BigHairRef | Talk 17:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
There's enough bias on Wikipedia without this POV "Democrat martyr" featured article. --Haizum μολὼν λαβέ 18:32, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation
First, how on earth did this get to be a featured article with so little discussion on its talk page? I've never seen such a thing. Second, does anyone know he pronounced his name? Some German-Americans pronounce the "oe" like "oh" (i.e. "Goebel" rhymes with "noble"), while others pronounce "oe" like "ay" (i.e. "Goebel" is pronounced "gable"). —Angr/talk 21:24, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- For the first question, it got featured with so little discussion because I wrote most of it by myself. I can't answer the second question definitively, but being from Kentucky, I've always heard it pronounced like the "noble." Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 22:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- There's plenty of discussion on the FAC page at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/William Goebel. --W.marsh 22:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! Though I wrote the FA Irish phonology pretty much single-handedly too, but Talk:Irish phonology saw at least a little action! Not saying it's a bad thing, I was just really startled! :-) —Angr/talk 07:16, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
