I think Noq's concerns were a bit of an overreaction so I helped clean it up and get the citations in Brazilian812 (talk) 14:58, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

This page has been written by staff at the Campbell House Museum in St. Louis, Missouri. The Campbell House Museum preserves the history and documentation of the Campbell family including Virginia Kyle Campbell. This article has been written with consent of the Museum and its correctness and validity are authorized by the Museum. Shaspiel (talk) 15:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please read WP:COPYVIO and Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and understand what is required to quote large parts of another website. That website needs to explicitly give permission for the text to be freely copied and changed which does not appear to have been done. Your statement that it is authorised does not prove that as we have no idea if you are connected with and have the authority to make that declaration. The intro does not give any indication of what makes this person notable and worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. The infobox makes a general claim to notability without anything explicit. noq (talk) 15:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think the page is completely justified as she was an important figure in St Louis history and her life offers some understanding into the upper class in St Louis around the turn of the century. And if Museum employees are creating the Museum's website and this wiki page, they are entitled to quote heavily from it Brazilian812 (talk) 15:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

As stated above, we have no idea whether a museum employee with the authority to copy the article has done that. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the required procedures to allow that. I am not from St Louis and cannot comment of her importance but there does not appear to be anything in the article that establishes that. Give an indication of WHY she is notable in the lead and reword the text and I am sure everything will be fine. noq (talk) 15:52, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
