Global coordinates?

What on earth is that sentence doing there, the one with the latitude and longitude for the building for crissakes? Please, someone explain, or offer a counterargument. I give notice that I'm going to delete the horror.--SilasM 13:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and removed them. Athænara ✉ 11:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Post Quote?

Will someone provide the source for this:

Critics, notably the Washington Post editoral page, have claimed that it is the "ultimate sign of the disingenuity of the Clinton administration".

A couple of editors have noted that as originally posted, the quote had several typos, making it somewhat suspect. The use of "disingenuity" seems strange to me as well. --Chinasaur 17:10, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Without a reference there's probably no good reason to leave that there in it's current form. In fact that whole paragraph seems to be without reference so I'm going to pull it since it leads the reader to draw a political conclusion that has little to do with the library/centre itself. If somebody can come up with a good reference on that info it might be a good addition to the Bill Clinton article.

is there a npov way of expressing just how ugly this building is? 168.122.250.175 23:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No, there is in fact not an objective way of expressing an opinion on a quality like ugliness. Not everyone has beef with this project, and what's more, some people like the way the building looks. I think the quotation from the Economist is irrelevant, just as well, and that's why I'm taking it out. Putting a journalist's condescending opinion of the bulding at the end of that article is a danger to neutrality. It's a Presidential Library; it gets a real entry in the encylopedia instead of one weakened by someone's emotions.
Ok, if we can't call the building ugly can we at least mention its more popular name -- the "Clinton Presidential Library and Massage Parlor?"

where i live we call it the trailer on stilts.... sorry for the irrelevance. 70.247.73.235 19:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reference to the 'mobile home' is disrespectful, not to WJ Clinton, but to the fine people of Arkansas. 28 November 2006

Contradiction

On this page it is claimed that the library is the second largest but on Bill Clinton's page it is claimed to be the largest,someone should try to solve this.Borgawitz 12:50, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Urban renewal"?

The article states that the library is a "leading example of urban renewal." I believe it means to say "brownfields redevelopment" or generically "urban rebirth" or "reinvigoration" or some such. It is not known as an example of urban renewal, which is typified by the governmental condemnation and demolition of "slum" housing and its replacement with housing projects in the 1960s. This site was a railroad yard, not housing; it was remade in the 1990s, not the 1960s; and most importantly, it does not seem to have been taken by eminent domain at all. If the government didn't buy it, it can't be urban renewal.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Clinton Presidential Center/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This article looks great after a quick read-through, though some of the sections seem a little short. Please try to expand it, especially Main Building and History (section lead). More to come soon. Reviewer: Reywas92Talk 02:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Er, I add comments here?). yes, I'm in the process of gathering more information (I'm allowed to add substantial content during the review, right?)  fetchcomms☛ 03:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a bit more to the history, but I'm still trying to find more for it and the main building sections, especially with some exhibits.  fetchcomms☛ 04:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course, that's the whole point of the review. Here are some further comments:

  • There's a misplaced modifier in the first sentence. It implies that the School of Public Service was established by Clinton, but nothing else.
  • Write out NARA so readers know what it means.
  • "Approximately $10 million of which came from Saudi Arabia." is not a complete sentence.

Also work on expanding the info about what's actually inside the Center. Thanks! Reywas92Talk 01:39, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll fix the little errors, and I'll add exhibit information as soon as I can find enough.  fetchcomms☛ 22:49, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a new exhibits section and done a few minor additions in general.  fetchcomms☛ 02:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That seems adequate. I'm sure there's still more that can be said about the Center, but no article can have it all. This passes the GA criteria, but I hope you continue to improve and expand it and maybe even take it to FLC! Reywas92Talk 22:52, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I'm hoping to be able to find a comprehensive book on the subject, but haven't located one yet (I think it's still too new). This has been an excellent first experience for me! Thanks again,  fetchcomms☛ 00:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I think you mean FAC? lol  fetchcomms☛ 00:28, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
