Talk:Oregon Public Library

message: I've reviewed the article against the WP:GA criteria and have the following comments:
*Very minor, but the flow of the first para in the lead is a bit stilted, I'd flow a couple of the sentences together to make the prose a bit easier to read.
*Not keen on "Early on...", can this be tightened up?
But these aren't going to stop it being a GA.  The Rambling Man 14:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The history section is very short relative to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture which I just recently started editing. One thing I am thankful for is this article has the history section up top. Presently that's not the case w Schomburg, which confused me. The Schomburg's history I will try to minimize although the Schomburg's cultural impact to the Harlem Renaissance is extremely powerful.
For criticisms or questions on this article:
# "The building represents a good example of the Arts and Crafts movement in architecture." How about a nice sophisticated quote from a knowledgeable critic of architecture, "good example" is kind of weak.
# Are you going to use that formatnum wikipedia template to show Carnegie's grant in present day money ?
Great article though. 66.234.33.8 (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Hello there, primary author of this article here. Great suggestions, I will see what I can do about implementing them. I haven't been able to find many sources outside of the National Register of Historic Places documents, but I will pore over them again, perhaps there is a good quote to include related to the library. I will also see what I can find at my public library (which is Chicago, so maybe they have something that I couldn't find where I was living previously. Thanks for the input, I was unaware of the template to show money in present-day dollars, if you'd like, feel free to add it. Of course, I can do it as well, I just may not be able to get to it right away. Thanks again. IvoShandor (talk) 21:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Please see the Schomburg article, I embed the Library template into the NHRP Infobox because I think it looks nicer. But, be aware I am going to remove the locmapin because with Google Maps or Mapquest or whatever your favorite map thingie is, that is outdated and looks ugly. I can't change it here because it's personal preference and this article's layout looks pretty darn good to me. I have to have the library Infobox because it has world-class collections. I will give you a week to check out the locmapin, but like I said, I think it is outdated and ugly. I'll peruse google news on this library to see if an architectural critic wrote about it. 66.234.33.8 (talk) 09:06, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I just learned today that some people don't like that template. I suggest you ignore what I said :) 66.234.33.8 (talk) 23:05, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
