THE NAMES ARE JUMBLED UP - SOMEBODY PLEASE EDIT THIS MESS

"conceived by the architect Frank Massaro. It is located on the privately-owned Petra Island (sometimes spelled Petre Island) in Lake Mahopac, New York, and is named for its owner, Frank Massaro."

and then:

"In 1991, Petra Island was purchased by Joseph Massaro, a sheet metal contractor."

So Massaro is an architect AND sheet metal contractor? And he conceived of unfinished plans for a house that he later purchased and decided to complete -- in honor of himself?? And his name is also Joseph?

My head hurts. Somebody verify this stuff and please fix the names. It probably should read: "conceived by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located on the privately-owned Petra Island (sometimes spelled Petre Island) in Lake Mahopac, New York, and is named for its owner, Joseph Massaro." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.192.220 (talk) 08:14, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright

Most of the section on criticism is taken almost verbatim from the Houston Chronicle. It was previously unsourced and I added the reference. The lanugage probably should be changed to paraphrase, though the quotes are interesting. Bangabandhu (talk) 17:27, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chahroudi House

Noting that multiple external links to a page on a website that mentions Chahroudi House are not compatible with Wikipedia's policies, I'd like to start a discussion with the IP editor who keeps adding the links.

I'm a neutral in this matter, on the basis that I know nothing of the dispute that you're attempting to bring attention to. But I'd like to find out more, based on reliable sources that aren't your website.

Perhaps there's an interesting article we could write about Chahroudi House? Perhaps there's a section that could be added to this article – maybe even with a link to your website as a source? (others will judge the reliability, not me).

If you can bring some other sources and explain in plain terms without – and I'll be frank here – attempting to threaten me with action for not accepting prominent links to your site, the article itself and Wikipedia as a whole could benefit.

Please make the first move in a spirit of collaboration and consensus. — Trey Maturin™ 19:07, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
