The article on Henry Flagler links to here in discussing the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, which this obviously is not. The Palm Beach Breakers is worthy of its own article.
[edit] Public Domain ?
Is anything created by the US Gov really in the PD ? If so, we can copy verbatim from [1], which is very informative.
- Yes, you could copy from this one verbatim, it's an official document. It's rather more detailed than we really want for WP though (in the same way that articles reference the results from a scientific paper, without actually including every detail of experimental methodology that the paper must include), so excerpting seems more useful than wholesale data dumping.

- I do not believe it is too detailed. After all, "The Breakers" is more notable than "Sonic the Hedgehog" is, aight ? Sonic the Hedgehog and [[Category:Sonic the Hedgehog characters]] are excessively detailed. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia.-- ExpImptalkcon 02:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, there are other articles that are also excessively detailed, and there are a bunch of editors who would take a hatchet to them if not for the legions of fanboys zealously guarding every bit of drivel... Part of being a compendium of knowledge is judicious summarization, irrespective of paper or online. Stan 20:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

See featured articles like Holkham Hall, Belton House or even Palace of Westminster to some extent. That level of detail would be very welcome on this article. --W.marsh 14:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
