Does anyone know why Jules Henri de Sibour redirects to this particular building? I'd like to remove the redirect and start a separate article on J.H. de Sibour. Can anyone direct me to the process for removing a redirect? Thanks, Eli.pousson (talk) 18:50, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Issues needing to be address

I think the biggest problem that this article has is an identity crisis: This article could really just be given the title "Clarence Moore House" since all the information pertains to that and little attention is given to the fact that the building is an embassy, which I feel should be the real focus. Here are other items to be addressed:

More information is needed in the lead. The name of the ambassador should be given as should more information about the embassy. The first paragraph is only 1 sentence long, which is not ideal.

Done. 72.184.164.159 (talk) 20:53, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A list of the consulates should be given.

The one consulate is now mentioned. 72.184.164.159 (talk) 21:01, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pop culture sections should generally be avoided in Wikipedia articles, and the one here should be deleted.

With much chagrin, I deleted it, although should I mention somewhere else in the article. Maybe a trivia section? 72.184.164.159 (talk) 21:01, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are 3 dead links. Please find new sources.

I thank the editors who have contributed to this article as it is in a much better state than most other Washington D.C. Embassy articles on Wikipedia. I hope this article will continue to progress. Happy editing~ --Tea with toast (話) 02:18, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I should also mention that you are free to renominate the article once improvements have been made. --Tea with toast (話) 02:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
