I have removed the reference: https://www.barrycassidyrarebooks.com/product/23359/Highlands-Inn-Four-Miles-South-of-Carmel-California-Highlands-Inn I felt the article creator has been here long enough and edited enough to know better than putting something like that per WP:BLOG, WP:SPS to not cite something like this.

Content not supported by source

edit

Please see my note here User talk:Greghenderson2006#Highlands Inn, Carmel Highlands another source not backing up the claims. regarding content not being supported by a source. I've cleaned it up, and also a bit more puffery. Netherzone (talk) 14:39, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Here is the correct source for the text you removed:
During 1985, architect Will Shaw undertook a reconstruction of the Inn which earned him a Top Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects and first place in the historical renovation category of the Project Design Award presented by the American Society of Interior Designers.

I included the wrong source. Here is the correct source for Will Shaw.

Is this an article in which you're working in communication with the article subject too? Graywalls (talk) 14:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Graywalls: Not sure if I understand your question. Who/what is the article subject? Can you also look at the article. I think we can remove the maintenance tags now. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The subject being the business Highlands Inn, Hyatt company, tourism board, tourism department of city/county. In other words, just because I didn't mention the specific name doesn't mean that it's no. I see you were at the site to take photos. Were you in communication with someone in charge of business? Did you exchange any interaction with regard to Wikipedia, or anything related to public relations activity with anyone with regard to this article? Graywalls (talk) 17:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
No, I did not communicate with anyone regarding the Highlands Inn and Wikipeida. I am interested in the area and its history. When I noticed there was no Wikipedia page about the subject, I decided to write the article on August 20, 2023‎. The Highlands Inn has an interesting history at the time when the Carmel Highlands was first being developed in the early 1900s. Greg Henderson (talk) 17:31, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Why don't you ask Netherzone since they're the one who placed the tag? Graywalls (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Netherzone: please review the Highlands Inn article and let me know what you think? I would like to remove the maintenace tags as it has been reviewed by Graywalls and myself. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:10, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I've responded on your talk page. Netherzone (talk) 19:56, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary trivia?

edit

I would like to add the following statement under the History section:

    • "By 1918, the Inn became a gathering place for the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club to foster the advancement of the fine arts and crafts, exploration of music and literature, civic affairs, bird study, and the appreciation of drama. People such as writer Perry Newberry, developer Frank Powers, painter Sydney Yard, came to the Inn to contribute their stories."[1]

OpposePersonally, I'm against it. For example, we're not going to do a shout out for groups that rent out church or school cafeteria to hold their meetings. For example, we're not going to have a mention about youth baseball group meeting in school cafeteria onto the school's page, or a neighborhood association into a church page. Even if they're factually valid, it's clearly undue. It's easy enough to find such coverage in local tabloid papers. Graywalls (talk) 22:00, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
