Talk:Clinton Presidential Center

Global coordinates?
What on earth is that sentence doing there, the one with the latitude and longitude for the building for crissakes? Please, someone explain, or offer a counterargument. I give notice that I'm going to delete the horror.--SilasM 13:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, and removed them.  Athænara  ✉ 11:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Post Quote?
Will someone provide the source for this:


 * Critics, notably the Washington Post editoral page, have claimed that it is the "ultimate sign of the disingenuity of the Clinton administration".

A couple of editors have noted that as originally posted, the quote had several typos, making it somewhat suspect. The use of "disingenuity" seems strange to me as well. --Chinasaur 17:10, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Without a reference there's probably no good reason to leave that there in it's current form. In fact that whole paragraph seems to be without reference so I'm going to pull it since it leads the reader to draw a political conclusion that has little to do with the library/centre itself. If somebody can come up with a good reference on that info it might be a good addition to the Bill Clinton article.

is there a npov way of expressing just how ugly this building is? 168.122.250.175 23:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No, there is in fact not an objective way of expressing an opinion on a quality like ugliness. Not everyone has beef with this project, and what's more, some people like the way the building looks. I think the quotation from the Economist is irrelevant, just as well, and that's why I'm taking it out. Putting a journalist's condescending opinion of the bulding at the end of that article is a danger to neutrality. It's a Presidential Library; it gets a real entry in the encylopedia instead of one weakened by someone's emotions.
 * Ok, if we can't call the building ugly can we at least mention its more popular name -- the "Clinton Presidential Library and Massage Parlor?"

where i live we call it the trailer on stilts.... sorry for the irrelevance. 70.247.73.235 19:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the reference to the 'mobile home' is disrespectful, not to WJ Clinton, but to the fine people of Arkansas. 28 November 2006

Contradiction
On this page it is claimed that the library is the second largest but on Bill Clinton's page it is claimed to be the largest,someone should try to solve this.Borgawitz 12:50, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

"Urban renewal"?
The article states that the library is a "leading example of urban renewal." I believe it means to say "brownfields redevelopment" or generically "urban rebirth" or "reinvigoration" or some such. It is not known as an example of urban renewal, which is typified by the governmental condemnation and demolition of "slum" housing and its replacement with housing projects in the 1960s. This site was a railroad yard, not housing; it was remade in the 1990s, not the 1960s; and most importantly, it does not seem to have been taken by eminent domain at all. If the government didn't buy it, it can't be urban renewal.
