Talk:Gaylord Building

message: I have listed this article as a good article nominee as it is very informative and very well sourced. Some of the sentences have a few too many commas and can stand to be rewritten, though. If an editor would like to rewrite a few sentences before the article is reviewed, it would likely pass. —Rob (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As the originator of this article, I'm delighted to hear this! It has been in raw form, on my todo list/sandbox/slush pile for a while now... glad I finally got it off and out. Thanks to all the other editors who have been madly improving it since it got released (This is why I love DYK, it does wonders for an article) ++Lar: t/c 19:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good Article nomination 

message: This caption "The east side of the Gaylord Building from across the Metra tracks. This view shows the 1859 addition to the building in the foreground. The pale yellow peaked roof in the background was a third story added to the original building in 1859." recently added, isn't quite right I don't think. The original building is only 2 storys except for the popout section in the middle. There is an excellent pic on the Canal Corridor site which maybe could be linked to that shows the bogus third story added (which was torn off again) and the popout section rebuilt. 19:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I built a LEGO model of this building, which won an honorable mention from the National Trust in an 2005 competition. I have some photos of it on  Bricklink. Do you think that putting a pic or two of the model in would be too far afield? Comments welcomed. (the Gaylord museum has model buildings in it... but of the NORTON building, not of Gaylord.) ++Lar: t/c 19:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Yep, not the right thing for the article, but stick it on your user page Lar, I would love to see it. It's been far too long since I made anything with LEGO, hmm ... --Cactus.man ✍ 11:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Well, the reason I thought of it at all is that it's not just a model of the building but rather, a slice of the canal, environs and so forth, as it might have looked, pre Civil War. It's not a big enough contest win to justify an article all its own but the model is the reason this article is here... all this material was collected in order to enable building the model (the proto photos on the page, and there are several, were taken by me as part of my background research) and wasn't forgotten about between then and now. I have a lot more architectural detail sort of pictures I could share, look in the maj folder and let me know... ++Lar: t/c 12:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Lar, I would love to see your Lego model of the Gaylord Building! I created a model of the Gaylord Building out of wood and I think it is still on display in the museum. Maybe we could create an image gallery of some of the items on display. We could display some interior pictures of the museum and restaurant. Ryan J Pasch 23:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *A gallery might be an awesome idea. See my folder on maj... all the pics in it are avaialble for upload if we want them (you'll recognise some of the pics as already in the article). The model pics were focused on details for my model so may not be the best museum overview shots. SI'm not sure where I stashed my model shots, have to dig around for those. But my model was of the building in its heyday and included a canal slice. ++Lar: t/c 23:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * Ok my Lego model is here: on brickshelf. it may not be visible this second as the folder has to get moderated (reviewed for suitability) before non logged in people can see it ++Lar: t/c 00:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

:Almost there, but I feel that a significant omission is that there is no information about who George Gaylord was and how his name ended up on the building.  Worldtraveller 21:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Good Article 

message: I would like to add some of my knowledge of the Gaylord Building to this very nice article. My name is Ryan J Pasch of Pasch & Sons Construction in Lockport, IL. Pasch & Sons was the General Contractor of the Gaylord Building Restoration. We would love to share our experience with this article. Let me know what kind of information you are looking for. I also have a TON of great pictures detailing the restoration.  Thanks!!!! Ryan J Pasch 23:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We would absolutely love for you to add info. If you have pictures that you're willing to share please review the WP:GFDL or whatever license you're willing to share them under, and upload them to Commons. The article could use a few more, but a gallery of lots of detail shots would be even better... Info on neat things you found out while restoring would be great. What the exact story on the removed part of the roof would be good too, as well as anything historic you discovered... Just make sure that whatever you add is verifiable and referenced. That may include referencing your own website if no other alterative is available but that hsould be your last choice... (read up on no original research for some guidelines, as well as the links I just left you on your talk page) Thanks for showing up! ++Lar: t/c 23:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
