 * Symbol question.svg Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable online sources are used. However the note pertaining to the hook "is the oldest still existing" requires a citation. Also check disamb. for "Guthrie Historic District" MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:56, 15 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, MisterBee. Thanks for your speedy response to this nomination. I appreciate your interest. Will the following citation suffice? I have had some difficulty getting a citation to a note to render properly after saving the page. Bruin2 (talk) 16:00, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came to promote this, but I don't see anything about Andrew Carnegie being displeased with the design in the source provided. Yoninah (talk) 23:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, Yoninah, I have added a citation for that statement that I hope will clarify the issue. If not, please let me know. Apparently Carnegie had quite a few demands of organizations to whom he had granted funds. This is also indicated by the Wikipedia article Carnegie library, but there is no in-line reference there.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. Personally, I think ALT1 is the better hook. Best, Yoninah (talk) 09:58, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
