We just need evidence of media, academic, or government coverage of this building for the article. Fortunately, Wiki has a full team of volunteers who cover these articles! Their guidelines for writing new articles are here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Historic_Places/Style_guide. If you wish to speak to other specialists, you can contact them here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:26, 23 October 2012 (UTC)}}Reply

  •   Comment: Error: There was no comment detected! Please follow the instructions at Template:AfC comment. I'm a new commenter here so please forgive me if i make an error. The topic of any National Register-listed place is generally fine, especially in Colorado where good full-length National Register nomination documents are available on-line. (Addendum: unfortunately the full nomination document is not yet available online for this one, as a new listing.--doncram) The article topic is definitely valid. Is some of the text here just copied from this "yourhub.denverpost.com" webpage, however? It's a good source. You need to cite your sources explicitly, and use your own wording and perhaps short quotes from a source like that. If the article is started, feel free to let me know at my Talk page and I could help out more. Hope this helps. --doncram 21:07, 23 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
P.S. Another editor added an infobox and i put in an available picture, below. Is this an article being drafted? I don't understand what is supposed to happen at AFC, and whether this is a drafting place or not. I am confused by the statement above that the AFC request was denied. It is an obviously valid topic. Should we not draft a proper article here? --doncram 14:23, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

rewrite to avoid plagiarism needed

Hi, i was participating earlier in the RFC process, and now see the article is published, in mainspace. Great... but the revisions so far have not addressed the issue of copying in the text. From the now-cited YourHub Denver Post source:

The Fuller House is ...(snipped later)...

From the article now:

The Fuller House is ...(snipped later)...

Those passages are exactly the same! This is not acceptable. It is plagiarism if the original writer is not given adequate credit for their work, i.e. if their wording is not credited by explicit quotes, or if the material is not appropriately paraphrased into other words. It is not enough to just note the other source. --doncram 18:37, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks editor MatthewVanitas for editing the article to remove duplicated text. That takes care of it. Now, it's a bit short as an article, but anyone can add more material, in our own words or with short quotes from sources. Thanks! --doncram 01:07, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
