Big revert - copyvio
editI've just reverted a large amount of work on the article (some of it very good) because it was intertwined with an apparent copyright violation, a big copy-and-paste from http://www.philmontm1.com/waite_phillips.htm It's unclear to me if Wikipedia has been given permission to use that material, therefore Wikipedia's policy of reverting on sight has been applied. If we can clarify the permission situation, then we can revert back. I think the relevant policy and procedure pages are WP:COPYVIO, WP:DCP Studerby 04:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Rodeo Dr.
editGoing from memory, I remember hearing that Waite Phillips he did land development in Los Angelos and name Rodeo Drive after the name of his fly-fishing place Rodeo at his ranch, now the name of a campsite/activity area. If it were true and sourced, that would be interesting. Rodeo Drive is named after a campsite in a Scout camp. North8000 (talk) 10:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Rayado - not Rodeo.
- Rayado is the name of a New Mexico river. It is also a program area "living history" at the museum (one time home) of Kit Carsson that is called "Rayado ."
- Waite Phillips did have a small log cabin. A nice building at the confluence. Of "Clear Creek" and the "Rayado River" that he called "Fish Camp." Above "Fish Camp " the river 's name is "Agua Frea." All are within Philmont Scout Ranch, Cimmaron, NM.
- The stretch to Rode'o Drive southern California is silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.248.78 (talk) 12:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- I had visited the museum and bought and read books on it at the same time. I remember reading this at one of those two places, and assumed that it was in the books. (I didn't invent it, but might have gotten it wrong). I can't find it in the books, so whatever I remembered or mis-remembered must have been from the museum. A moot point without a source so that's end of the discussion until/unless I found sourced info. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 16:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Size of Residence
editArticle mentions a 23 room, 3000 square feet penthouse that Waite lived in after giving away his large property. While the penthouse's area is a bit tight (if correct, I live in 1000 square feet), there cannot possibly be eight (23/3) rooms here.
The crux is that the article cited [footnote 2], actually claims that the penthouse was 4000 square feet. A bit less cozy at about 173 square feet (17x10) per room, this 23-room estimate must have included closets and hallways. For the love of everything that is true, please at least quote the source article as it was written. Do not include intermediate calculations.
