ALT2: ... that Eagle's Store (pictured), structurally similar to the Old Faithful Inn, has been operated by the same family since its founding in 1908? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Alt2 is better than original. I prefer it over ALT1.PumpkinSky talk 10:52, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
  • The article needs a reviewer to make a complete regular review; the above discussion was just about hook text. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:58, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough. However, I feel that the details are sketchy, and there are a few issues with structure and referencing. If this place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, you should be able to glean a lot of description from the entry card. As it is, there is only about two sentences of description of the actual architecture, and the bulk of information about the history is coming straight off the Eagle's Store website (it's also paraphrasing the website pretty closely in the first paragraph under History). The structure suddenly jolts into love and marriage among succeeding generations of the family; perhaps you could start another section about family ownership and write in an encyclopedic rather than story-ish tone.

  • What you call the entry card is not quite what you think it is. Eagle's Store was added to the Register as part of a multiple property submission — a group of related sites got added together, and their relationship with each other was covered by the "entry card" document; that's why this document has so little about the store and looks more at wider historical patterns. There's another nomination form out there somewhere for Eagle's Store, but it appears that it's not yet online (if it were, it would be here), so you'll have to request the nomination from the National Park Service or do without it.

  • Thanks to all for resolving the issues. Hook ref verified. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:24, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
