Talk:Seelbach Hotel

message: Hi.  Just a suggestion:  This article has too many little sections with their own headings.  It would be better to combine a few of these, or to eliminate a few headings.  I combined a few of the refs, but the ref formatting still needs work.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Very complete entry, especially the history of the hotel. The entry is well-organized as well, and the pictures give it some life.
A few things to think about:
1) You need to read it carefully again and catch some more of the grammar mistakes. There aren't many, so one close read by you should catch them.
2) Is it possible to put in a map of downtown Louisville and mark where the hotel is located and the neighborhood you mention, etc.?
3) Is it possible to add some pictures of the interior (I know this is a whole commons issue, but perhaps you've figured that out since you've got some new pictures up there). Pictures of the interior would help give some idea of the grandeur and the renovations. Also, perhaps there are some old pictures from the 20s?
4) Use google books and search the Seelbach Hotel. You will come up with some interesting things, like this:

message: Hi Professor, I want to thank you for taking the time to make such thorough comments. I went through and really did a sweep of the grammar, so I think it should be all fine at this point. Also, I found two photos that I pulled from the website of the Library of Congress and have given them the appropriate licensing (I think), so they should be there. If not by the time you look at this, one showed the hotel as it looked after completion in 1910, and the other the street that the hotel sits on, South 4th Street, also in 1910. I think this adds a little bit of personalization to the history section of the hotel. I tried looking through Google books for more information and pictures, but it has all been covered, more or less, by the other sources and pictures that I have on the page. Finding a grid map of downtown Louisville proved impossible without infringing on some sort of copyrights, as is the case with the pictures of the interior. I really made an effort to address your and Angela's concerns, so hopefully you enjoy it! Klhrdy (talk) 00:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

message: In 1972 I was stationed at Fort Knox, KY. When I went to downtown Louisville, I would drink at the bar in the Seelbach. The mixologist was "Rudy" and a woman played the piano and sang songs. I believe her name was Helen. Really a splendid place, no riff-raff present. I recommend the Seelbach highly if you visit Louisville. Tjlynnjr (talk) 20:51, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
