Albuquerque Civic Auditorium
Hi, I'm one of the people who reverted your edit to this article. This is because, according to Wikipedia's policies, information added to articles must be verifiable and should cite reliable sources. You removed sourced information which cited the Albuquerque Journal and replaced it with unsourced, and thus unverifiable, information. Now keep in mind nobody is saying you are wrong, necessarily. But without reliable sources to back you up, your word is no better than anyone else's, even if you have a close personal connection to the subject. The Wikipedia policy is verifiability, not truth. If the building was really designed by someone other than who the Journal says it was designed by, and if you really are related to that person, it shouldn't be too hard for you to come up with some reliable sources that say so. I hope this helps. Camerafiend (talk) 14:50, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Good work locating that source, it certainly appears to confirm your position. After poking around some more I found a Tribune article from 1956 reporting that Ferguson-Stevens had named two new associates, Pearl and Mallory ("both of whom have been with the firm for the last five years.") So it does appear Pearl was working there at the time the auditorium was designed, but since your 1955 article doesn't mention him at all I think it's safe to conclude that he definitely did not design the building by himself as the later Journal article states. That may have just been lazy journalism on their part. In any case, thank you for putting in the effort to find a reliable source and improve the article. Camerafiend (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
