Advice
Mike, As reviewing administrator, I have to tell you you cannot write articles in Wikipedia like this. Possibly these buildings are notable, but there is a difference between writing public relations and writing an encyclopedia. You need to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases). You also need to write like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise yourself, say what you do. Remember not to copy from your web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. For further information see our FAQ about businesses, organizations, and articles like this, and    our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. I advise you to improve this article very quickly, or it will surely be deleted.  DGG ( talk ) 06:18, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
