The Greeley County Courthouse in Greeley, Nebraska is on the list of buildings using Yule marble. Three sources are given. One is to a Wikimedia Commons category containing photos of the courthouse. One is to a Nebraska State Historical Society website. The third doesn't provide a link, but appears to refer to the National Register of Historic Places nominating form for the courthouse, which is available through a link on the NSHS website cited. The first two sources definitely don't mention Yule marble. I scanned the third (the nominating form) and didn't find it mentioned there either, although it's a longer source and I might have overlooked it. Could the editor who inserted the courthouse point to the mention of Yule marble in the nom form, or supply another source that supports the inclusion of the courthouse on the list? If not, I think it ought to be removed. Ammodramus ( talk) 22:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Looking through the section on Nebraska structures using Yule marble, I find the I.O.O.F. Building in "Broken Arrow, Nebraska". To the best of my knowledge, there is no Broken Arrow in Nebraska. There is, however, Broken Bow, Nebraska; and that city has an Odd Fellows hall, now the Tiffany Theater, whose exterior appears to be mostly brick but might incorporate some marble (it's hard for me to tell from the photos). Unfortunately, "Broken Arrow" is what's given on the Perazzo website, so I'm loath to make a correction that comes close to being OR. Is there another source, e.g. McCollum, that might be used to check and correct this? Ammodramus ( talk) 15:34, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
There are 75 sources. A lot of them don't mention "Yule marble" in haec verba, but other sources at the beginning do. We can put in every one of those sources and repeat them ad nauseum. In fact, I think that's a good project for you. As to the sources that you are blithely removing, they provide context, and describe the buildings in which Yule Marble was used. Which other buildings do you think they might be? We can do this for all 75 sources, and do it the hard way. Or we can arrive at a consensus. Take your pick. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 21:51, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Not a good source, but this flickr page could very well be the building. It has the look. Not adding this to the article, but am providing it as a 'crumb on the trail' to uncovering the building. It has an address. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 19:05, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

about Yule marble in the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Denver article. I am trying to get a stub going about the rather obscure Detroit architect who designed (any Michigander reading this can arise to the challenge and beat me to it) it, but noticed that the article mentions three different kinds of stone used, none our beloved Yule. So . . . ............? Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 01:47, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
I have been reworking the article from the end back up to the beginning. The majority has been rewriting paragraph opening and closing sentences, some sentence structures in general, reference formats, moving most table data into thumbnail captions or section text (and deleting the tables), section header wording, removing use of bold.
Some sections have been greatly expanded with new text (1884-1905 quarrying, Lincoln Memorial, and Tomb of the Unknowns). OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 07:24, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Some conversions were made without a convert: needs a number function to retain prefered format. Also did not find a convert: needs a number from short ton to metric ton. I found convert: needs a number functions in different articles. OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 01:36, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
to check the article against improvement recommended by Ruhrfisch. Pete Tillman found the review Ruhrfisch made with the article was submitted for rating back somewhere at the end of November-early December 2011 OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 05:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
The change by Clegs was undone because it was erroneous. The information about the last post 1945 resident in Marble came from the source "Vignettes", by Oscar McCollum, who also wrote the other cited book "Marble. a town built on dreams."
The other change I undid is more troubling. The editor removed the distance and elevation data from a photo caption because he/she did not see the purpose. Such data is part of the overall article approach of specifics. What troubles me is the editor did so on opinion, never claiming the data was a negative inclusion. If the data diminished the photo caption or the article I would agree with the change. OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 21:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
I rewrote the article with the serious researcher in mind (ref Wiki grade scale), which is why I included content of such depth and scope. I believe it is better to have excessive details in one location rather than general information for which you must go to other sources. This belief is from my personal experiences. OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 04:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Seems the long quote from the USGS should be rewritten rather than just plunked in as a quote. Also the sentence: The non-calcite inclusions were caused through penetrations along the seams created by the dome uplift rather than through metamorphic contact with the uplifted dome. needs clarifying. Were the "inclusions" the result of quartz vein injections or segregations / migration of impurities in the limestone or accumulations along pre-existing bedding planes in the limestone? Guess I need to read the USGS report.
Also the timeline contains some rather irrelevant entries and the 24 hour clock columns seem irrelevant - especially considering the "serious researcher" comment above. Vsmith ( talk) 16:03, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

The table on this article list a "Mormon Auditorium" in Independence, Missouri. This needs to be clarified, as there is no structure with this name in this city, and it is in no way clear what is meant by this entry:
The reference to this entry seems to be http://quarriesandbeyond.org/states/co/co-structures.html which then in turn references Marble, Colorado: City of Stone without a page number. When we are sure which of these (or possibly other) buildings we are referring to, we should use the correct name. In the mean time, no wikilink is appropriate, especially not the one to the Temple Lot. -- 208.81.184.4 ( talk) 18:25, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
A density of 76 kilos per cubic metre would mean that this would be excellent material for floating platforms, or flotation devices in ships, lifebelts and so forth. However as cubic metres are rather larger than cubic feet I'm guessing that the conversion was incomplete and it should be closer to 2,500 which is around 90% of the weight of pure Calcite. A referenced weight would be appreciated, in the meantime I'll move the figure to something that fits a bit better. Ϣere SpielChequers 08:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
I looked at the article rating and saw the Objective rating is 3 (based on three reviews) which displays as "minimal bias". Can someone point out where bias exists? OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 06:41, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I know that Yule Marble was used in a "43 story building" in Detroit according to the sources in that article. I tried to find in vain a 40 story builing in Detroit. However, today I happened to be in downtown Detroit, and looked up this building in wikipedia. This building is 37 stories above ground, and 3 stories below, the timing is right, as is the size of the building, along with the description of materials. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 18:44, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

The Greeley County Courthouse in Greeley, Nebraska is on the list of buildings using Yule marble. Three sources are given. One is to a Wikimedia Commons category containing photos of the courthouse. One is to a Nebraska State Historical Society website. The third doesn't provide a link, but appears to refer to the National Register of Historic Places nominating form for the courthouse, which is available through a link on the NSHS website cited. The first two sources definitely don't mention Yule marble.

Some sections have been greatly expanded with new text (1884-1905 quarrying, Lincoln Memorial, and Tomb of the Unknowns). OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 07:24, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Some conversions were made without a convert: needs a number function to retain prefered format. Also did not find a convert: needs a number from short ton to metric ton. I found convert: needs a number functions in different articles. OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 01:36, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
to check the article against improvement recommended by Ruhrfisch. Pete Tillman found the review Ruhrfisch made with the article was submitted for rating back somewhere at the end of November-early December 2011 OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 05:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
The change by Clegs was undone because it was erroneous. The information about the last post 1945 resident in Marble came from the source "Vignettes", by Oscar McCollum, who also wrote the other cited book "Marble. a town built on dreams."
The other change I undid is more troubling. The editor removed the distance and elevation data from a photo caption because he/she did not see the purpose. Such data is part of the overall article approach of specifics. What troubles me is the editor did so on opinion, never claiming the data was a negative inclusion. If the data diminished the photo caption or the article I would agree with the change. OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 21:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
I rewrote the article with the serious researcher in mind (ref Wiki grade scale), which is why I included content of such depth and scope. I believe it is better to have excessive details in one location rather than general information for which you must go to other sources. This belief is from my personal experiences.

Seems the long quote from the USGS should be rewritten rather than just plunked in as a quote. Also the sentence: The non-calcite inclusions were caused through penetrations along the seams created by the dome uplift rather than through metamorphic contact with the uplifted dome. needs clarifying. Were the "inclusions" the result of quartz vein injections or segregations / migration of impurities in the limestone or accumulations along pre-existing bedding planes in the limestone? Guess I need to read the USGS report.
Also the timeline contains some rather irrelevant entries and the 24 hour clock columns seem irrelevant - especially considering the "serious researcher" comment above. Vsmith ( talk) 16:03, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

The table on this article list a "Mormon Auditorium" in Independence, Missouri. This needs to be clarified, as there is no structure with this name in this city, and it is in no way clear what is meant by this entry:
The reference to this entry seems to be http://quarriesandbeyond.org/states/co/co-structures.html which then in turn references Marble, Colorado: City of Stone without a page number. When we are sure which of these (or possibly other) buildings we are referring to, we should use the correct name. In the mean time, no wikilink is appropriate, especially not the one to the Temple Lot. -- 208.81.184.4 ( talk) 18:25, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
A density of 76 kilos per cubic metre would mean that this would be excellent material for floating platforms, or flotation devices in ships, lifebelts and so forth. However as cubic metres are rather larger than cubic feet I'm guessing that the conversion was incomplete and it should be closer to 2,500 which is around 90% of the weight of pure Calcite. A referenced weight would be appreciated, in the meantime I'll move the figure to something that fits a bit better. Ϣere SpielChequers 08:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
I looked at the article rating and saw the Objective rating is 3 (based on three reviews) which displays as "minimal bias". Can someone point out where bias exists? OneHistoryGuy ( talk) 06:41, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I know that Yule Marble was used in a "43 story building" in Detroit according to the sources in that article. I tried to find in vain a 40 story builing in Detroit. However, today I happened to be in downtown Detroit, and looked up this building in wikipedia. This building is 37 stories above ground, and 3 stories below, the timing is right, as is the size of the building, along with the description of materials. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 18:44, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
