President's Guest House[edit]

Nominator(s): LavaBaron (talk) 23:41, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the U.S. president's guest house, commonly known as Blair House. The property is architecturally significant, being the first building ever listed as a U.S. National Historic Landmark, and is also politically significant, having been the transient residence of otherwise notable persons, including Vladimir Putin, Charles de Gaulle, Emperor Akihito, Hosni Mubarak, Margaret Thatcher, etc. The article is of substantial length and is illustrated by 13 images, 2 maps/diagrams, and 1 logo. Each sentence is referenced to one of 40 RS, it has previously been a DYK feature, it is neutrally-worded, uses MOS structure, and is free of spelling or grammar errors.

  • Note: from the above instructions, "An article should not be on Featured article candidates and Peer review or Good article nominations at the same time." This appears to have a current, recently opened GAN. Either that or this should be closed. Brianboulton (talk) 00:14, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Brianboulton - thanks, an oversight by me. I've de-GAN'ed it. LavaBaron (talk) 04:09, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

  • File:Blair_House_1919.png: when/where was this first published? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:06, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
1918-1920/unknown LavaBaron (talk) 11:05, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
1918-1920 appears to be the creation date. If the publication date and location is unknown, is there another licensing tag that would be applicable? Nikkimaria (talk) 13:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, doesn't appear so. LavaBaron (talk) 16:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In that case it will need to be removed, if there's no valid licensing. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:08, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
yeah, for real LavaBaron (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, for real. You cannot have "Original publication: unknown", and a licence tag claiming publication before January 1923. The image may have been created between 1918 amd 1920, but it could have been first published at any time after then. This is a summary of US copyright law – you might find what you need here.

for sure LavaBaron (talk) 17:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
People are trying to help you, so you might try behaving like an adult. Brianboulton (talk) 19:53, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note for coordinators: Does this have permission to be at FAC? The nominator has Philippine Constabulary Band open, with a single support, since 22 January. Brianboulton (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Philippine Constabulary Band is also co-running an FAC and a GAN at the same time, one of which should be closed off. - SchroCat (talk) 10:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
done LavaBaron (talk)

Procedural close -- Tks Brian, and my apologies for not noting this sooner, but per the FAC instructions you cannot have multiple solo noms open at the time here. When Philippine Constabulary Band is closed (immediately if it's promoted, after two weeks if it's archived) you can re-nominate this one. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:31, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
