Please stop

[edit]

Kindly stop gratuitously moving this page back and forth. There is no such thing and no such construction as "Tavern-James", which the hyphen seems to imply. For clarification, I consulted the Manual of Style, which clearly states that "do not use a hyphen as a substitute for an en dash that properly belongs in the title". So, it's clear that the hyphen is not appropriate usage. The only doubt in my mind is whether the title should have an emdash, spaced endash or unspaced endash, but the hyphen is WRONG! -- Ohconfucius ping / poke 02:29, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Numerous errors in this articles content

[edit]

As the person that drafted the references attached to this article, I am concerned about false statements made within the article that clearly are not in the references listed.

Among the errors are the type of architecture, it is Jeffersonian. The builder of the building is James D. Conrey. And the structure most certainly was involved in the Underground Railroad which is clearly documented in the references of the National Register Nomination you claim to have consulted. Further, it is the stagecoach stop in Chaper nine of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Please go back and review the references listed and correct these and other errors.

I wrote the national register nomination and conducted and maintain all the research on the structure.

The cited document is the Ohio Historic Inventory form, not the NR form; almost none of Ohio's NR forms are online, and the exceptions are either hosted by local organisations (e.g. the Akron Public Library hosts most of Summit County's) or are federally owned sites or National Historic Landmarks. It doesn't mention Uncle Tom's Cabin or the Underground Railroad, and it clearly lists the architectural style as Greek Revival. Nyttend (talk) 22:47, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
