Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on December 22, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the U.S. Patent Office 1836 fire occurred in the same building that housed the local fire department?
Current status: Delisted good article

This article is the odd one out in Category:Hotel fires as it was never in use as a hotel from what I read. The building was an unfinished hotel which was bought by the government and turned into a patent office in 1810. SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 22:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's correct. Thanks for explanation for removing Category:Hotel.--Doug Coldwell talk 22:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

[edit]

I decided to be bold and move the article, even though it was on the front page. The new title is more in line with Wikipedia naming guidelines, and sounds much better, I think. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:59, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment

[edit]

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
