222:. Just about every university will have an "English building", and many of them will be officially called that, let alone all the buildings named after people called English, or representing England at various events. It needs the disambiguation unless you think it's undoubtedly the main thing in existence referred to as "English building" (the answer is no, it isn't). What sources are used appear to be almost entirely primary sources, not indicating that it has outside notability. I am also concerned that 449: 414: 211: 323: 622: 595: 587: 558: 538: 527: 498: 487: 270:

I would love to flesh out this article more fully, but unfortunately, my time is limited. I cannot yet commit to spending a few full days with a stack of books.
361:, citations do not cover multiple paragraphs on Knowledge (XXG). If a source is used for consecutive paragraphs, each paragraph must cite the source. Google search is not adequate; if you cannot find an actual source for the material, since it has been challenged, then it shouldn't be included in the article. 625:

There are at least 3 paragraphs without a single citation, and many others with only one that clearly applies to only a sentence or two. Since the article is so short, that's nowhere near "95% sourced". Citation style hasn't accepted "common knowledge" or "dump a bibliography at the end" for a long

I tried to avoid primary sources, but I will agree that many of the secondary sources are internal to the university. To add more external sources, I would need to dig more into two main reasons why the building is externally relevant, which are (1) it was designed by the pre-eminent architectural

For each "paragraph without a single citation," just go down to the next paragraph and find the first source cited. For example, the first 2 paragraphs under "Architecture" are both sourced from , with the citation sitting in the second paragraph. If this is not proper formatting, I am happy to

images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. The nominator does not appear to have any DYK credits, therefore a QPQ is not required. The hook is short enough at 180 characters, interesting to a broad audience, properly cited in the article, and verified in the cited sources.

change it. The only "common knowledge" statement is the sentence about which units currently occupy the building; a quick Google search will confirm their locations. All other information is sourced from the citations, and if you have any doubts, you are welcome to check.

Concerning the potential COI, I am a student at the university, but I am not affiliated with the units that occupy the building. If this is still qualifiable as a COI, I will stop editing University of Illinois

252:~95% of the article is sourced, and the few statements that are not sourced are common general knowledge. If I need to change the citation style, I am happy to do so. 88: 646: 302:, it's been over a month, and no significant edits have been made to the article, though it was moved as you suggested.
