The material is all cited. Google Books has [https:__www.google.ca_books_edition_Wall_to_wall_America_C_heVcKKqVEC_hl=en_gbpv=1_dq=Wall_to_Wall_America%3a_Post_Office_Murals_in_the_Great_Depression_pg=PA73_printsec=frontcover Wall-to-Wall America] as a searchable book. I was unable to find any copying using sentence fragment searches. "Arkansas Post Offices and the Treasury Department’s Section Art Program, 1938-1942" is available as a PDF and running Earwig on it shows no copying. I am unable to find the other documents to check but with these two, it looks to me like these are sources used as references, and the material is originally written. I expect the others would be the same. -- Whpq ( talk) 13:45, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
I've moved this page to a more descriptive title, and removed {{Orphan|date=November 2010}} and {{essay|date=November 2010}} Could still use some additional work. ServiceAT ( talk) 18:18, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
because Margoulies was a sculptor and not a painter. While there is the occasional "sculpture mural" they are not common and I doubt that this was one. I will do a stub on her shortly. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 20:00, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

The current article has no mention of origin of the program by artist George Biddle writing in 1933 to his friend(?) former college classmate Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in anecdote told in this Arkansas NRHP MPS document. Biddle admired such a mural program in Mexico supported by Mexican president Alvaro Obregon. There are 20 NRHP MPS/TR documents which each give review of the mural programs and/or reviews the murals in post offices in a given state, in MPS documents listed at wp:MPS. There is need to check these documents for mentions of post office murals not yet covered, and for other useful info, for the List of United States post office murals, too. Some of them include cut-and-paste copying from others, in their general review of mural programs. But there is significant content useful for this article, too, including good quotes about the mural programs, in addition to the Biddle anecdote. I would be very happy to see anyone using this information and would like to cooperate in seeing that they're systematically reviewed. Please watch also Talk:List of United States post office murals. -- do ncr am 05:35, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
