Rutherfurd Hall
[edit]I contested the deletion of the Rutherfurd Hall article, because articles about properties listed on the National Register [1] are encouraged. There is a "Wiki" style though, eg. Shippen Manor. Also, you have indicated that you are personally connected to the subject of this article, which is a no no on Wikipedia. If I get some time tomorrow I will Wikify the article a bit. Thank you for your hard work! Magnolia677 (talk) 00:37, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- While articles about properties listed on the National Register are encouraged, overtly promotional articles about such topics are not. I agree with Magnolia that some looking around at good quality articles would help. See my response to this user's query on my talk page. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:45, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you
[edit]Just a note to thank you for creating the Rutherfurd Hall article. I "wikified" the article a bit, but also removed a lot of information that didn't seem relevant. Of course, any editor is free to add it back. If you or others need help editing, please don't hesitate to ask. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:55, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much Magnolia, your efforts are greatly appreciated. RutherfurdofthatIlk (talk) 18:36, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
