Atlanta Exhibition

I would support an article about Booker T. Washington's 1895 Atlanta Exposition address, but to just copy and paste it into a Wikipedia page doesn't seem proper.  Ja Ga  talk 06:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete because Wikisource already has this so a transwiki is unnecessary, and there is already an article about the Atlanta compromise, and "Atlanta Exhibition" is an unlikely misspelling so it has no value as a search term.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  07:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Obviously it can't be a misspelling, but do you know if it might be an alternative name for the same thing? - Mgm|(talk) 09:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to contradict you, but in this case, I think "Exhibition" is a mis-spelling of "Exposition".— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  12:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to section of article about setting of event, Piedmont Park as definite plausible RD. The address itself is already dealt with in article form in Atlanta Compromise, which is linked within that Piedmont Park section.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 11:38, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Same answer—"Atlanta Exposition" should redirect in that way, but I don't see that "Atlanta Exhibition" should.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  12:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree; a redirect with this term would do no harm at all. The terms exhibition and exposition for these kinds of events are used as liberally as the word 'expo'. Both Atlanta Exhibition and Atlanta Exposition should redirect to the Piedmont Park article, as described above.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
