  • Long enough, new enough, neutral. The second paragraph in 1913 schoolhouse needs a cite. There's some extremely close paraphrasing or possibly even copyvios in the descriptions of buildings. For instance, "It contained two classrooms and an assembly hall on the main floor, and a furnace room, coal room and storage room in the basement." in the 1913 schoolhouse is sourced from "The building contained two classrooms and an assembly hall on the main floor and a furnace room, coal room, and storage room in the basement." I'm not sure how deep the copyright violations/close paraphrasing run, but I'm placing a maintenance tag on the page. This needs to be fixed before this can run on the main page. The hook is short enough and interesting, but it's not supported by the cite, which says only two buildings are serving the college. ~ RobTalk 16:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


Hi BU Rob13,
  • Thanks for your comments. They are very helpful. After rereading the source, I agree that the third rehabilitated building in the subject site was not considered part of the original Pawnee Boarding School. ALT1 below reflects this fact. Thanks for catching it.
  • ALT1* ... that two buildings of the former Pawnee Agency and Boarding School Historic District were rehabilitated to serve the new Pawnee Nation College?
I am also rechecking the article against the McClure thesis and the NRHP application to make sure I haven't carelessly incorporated too close paraphrasing, other than what you had pointed out. Bruin2 (talk) 04:11, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
ALT1 will work. Let me know when you've completed your review for close paraphrasing and I'll go over it to double-check and then sign off. ~ RobTalk 04:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Bruin2, it has been three weeks. You need to give this your attention very soon. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 12:00, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Close paraphrasing has still not been dealt with; nominator has edited since the above ping and one on their talk page. Marking for closure as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:55, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
I apologize for the delay in completing this effort and need to request additional time. The reason is that during the first part of the month I became ill from a respiratory infection that has limited my activities. Also, my wife passed away unexpectedly near the end of the month, which has stopped my Wiki work altogether. I expect to return to it as soon as possible, but right now I am inundated with higher priority issues. Bruin2 (talk) 03:43, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
