Talk:Tutwiler Hotel

Tutwilers

We'll need to distinguish between the old Tutwiler Hotel and the present one with separate articles. --Dystopos 14:04, 30 November 2006 (PST)

Oh, good point. That makes ripping out the last portions even easier. So should the article be moved to Tutwiler Hotel (1914)? And I'll have to undo my categorization changes. (Oops.) --Lkseitz 14:16, 30 November 2006 (PST)

Copyright?

Please pardon my suspicions, but as this entry was created by the self-confessed director of sales for the Tutwiler, it strikes me not as something that was written specifically for BhamWiki, but a press release or news story that was conveniently lying around. The last three paragraphs, in particular, sound like a press release about the hotel's remodeling. And after some searching I found the source for those. [1]

So my question is, where do we go from here? I can rip out the last three paragraphs or so and rewrite those. (In fact, I was probably going to anyway.) But what do we do about the rest? Even if the first part is not infringing, a source for the quotes would be nice. --Lkseitz 14:13, 30 November 2006 (PST)

• The text should be copyedited to comply with our policy on neutrality and verifiability, and expanded. While it would be best to avoid plaigiarizing from the the Tutwiler's publicity, I don't think copyright per se will be an issue since the contributor is no doubt acting on behalf of the copyright-holder and is empowered to place the work under our CC license. Bottom line, it can be improved but there's no emergency. In my opinion it provided a good starting place for what will no doubt soon be a fine pair of articles. --Dystopos 14:24, 30 November 2006 (PST)

I made some changes to the history section so it's a little less breathless. -- Rob 19:02, 30 November 2006 (PST)
