Plagiarism[edit]

Portions of this article are identical to the copy from the official Beaver Creek web page:

http://www.beavercreek.com/the-resort/beaver-creek-history-winter.aspx

Neither page attributes the other, so one is guilty of plagiarism.

Also, the copy, in general, reads like a promotional brochure, not an encyclopedia entry.

NPOV[edit]

The section talking about the ownership of the mountain seems quite biased against the resort. I don't know the situation there. Anyone care to rewrite it, or at least clean it up? Adagio 18:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The said issue is pretty much irrelevant to the resort itself. Mainly because it is not an issue exclusive to Beaver Creek or its Vail Resorts owners. The majority of ski areas in Colorado (and the rest of the country for that matter) operate under similar agreements with the US Forest Service. Vail has been the center of controversy among environmentalists groups due to the impact ski resorts have on natural habitats. The recent controversy was fueled buy Vail choosing to expand the ski area. While area expansion is not a new concept or exclusive to Vail Resorts, they received more attention due to the high profile the large company naturally has. I suspect that the opinion of person who wrote the disputed connect stems from this particular controversy. I'm going to remove the questionable content because it is not suitable for this particular article. It may have a place elsewhere, but not here.

Fair use rationale for Image:Beavercreek logo.jpg[edit]

Image:Beavercreek logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Original Idea for Beaver Creek (Dubious)[edit]

According to this (not necessarily authoritative) source, Earl Eaton and John Burke (not Pete Seibert) had the original idea for Beaver Creek.^[1]TRosenbaum (talk) 23:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is probably right, and you have a source, so it's can be used. There were ranchers in the family I think ready to develop before Vail was developed, or at about the same time. Truthkeeper (talk) 23:59, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
