Talk:Harry S Truman Building

Name?

 * "The Harry S . Truman Building is the third largest federal building in the..."

Is it 'S-with-a-period' or 'S-without'? —wwoods 03:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

With. A topic of endless repetition at Talk:Harry S. Truman -- see this section of the main article. It's been discussed to death, as archives of the Truman article will attest. BYT 12:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Oops (he amends above): The State Department site has the building name listed without a period. My error. BYT 12:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Designation as Harry S Truman Federal Building

Harry S. Truman Building → Harry S Truman Building – Per Talk:Harry S. Truman/FAQ this is the proper name but seems to be ignored by people overzealous to maintain the consistency of the period in Truman's middle name. The Building (as well as the College) break that consistency. However, since it's been moved back and forth so much by people not knowing it's proper name, it should be moved back and probably move-protected (like Truman himself).--Tim Thomason 02:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Support. There is only one authoritative source for the names of United States federal buildings, and that lies with the only body authorized to name such buildings, the United States Congress, and the only means by which it can do so, passing a naming law. In this case, the final version (the Enrolled Bill) as passed by both Houses reads:
 * The Federal building located at 2201 C Street, Northwest, in the District of Columbia, currently headquarters for the Department of State, shall be known and designated as the `Harry S Truman Federal Building'.

 * We don't care what the official name is; what do reliable secondary sources call it? Powers T 15:31, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Everyone uses the official Congressional name noted above. Mikebar (talk) 19:24, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

NOT the Missouri state office building
FN2 links to a PDF about the Missouri state office building with the 53 acres size number. This needs to be removed or replaced. Sorry I can't do it right now but wanted to flag this. Jeisenberg (talk) 18:30, 22 October 2023 (UTC) Jeisenberg (talk) 18:30, 22 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Site is 11.8 acres according to National Capitol Planning Commission. I will remove the incorrect number in the meantime. Flafoo (talk) 22:34, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Substantial plaigiarism in history section
The twentieth-century history section is almost entirely plagiarized from the GSA webpage about the HST building, found here: https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/historic-preservation/explore-historic-buildings/find-a-building/all-historic-buildings/harry-s-truman-federal-building-washington-dc. Some parts appear to be from ref 5 without in-text attribution, ex. the distinction between "Old State" and "New State." Unkeptsecrets (talk) 02:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
