FYI: Since a request was made that this be discussed broadly, for the record, I have contacted WP:TOURISM, WP:HOTEL, WP:CE, WP:HSITES and WP:NRHP and pointed them here.
Because of Dr. Blofeld's involvement in getting maps incorporated into a lot of templates including ((Infobox settlement)), I queried him about augmenting ((Infobox building)) to include multipin map options. He pointed out ((Infobox settlement)) as an example and recommended that I talk to a couple of people including Frietjes about making the necessary changes and Frietjes has encouraged pursuit of consensus to any major changes to such a widely used template. Prior to yesterday, Broadway Hollywood Building looked like this with a single map. Frietjes nested another template within the main ((Infobox building)) in order to add a second template. Frietjes also pointed out that there are at least five relevant zoom levels for this location (see scroll bar on right).
Looking at an article like Chicago with three maps working together to provide cartographic content, I think that Infobox building needs three maps: a map for the local people (people familiar with the local area) who would benefit from a street level map, a map of the city for people less familiar with the city and then either a state or national map. Something at least like the three maps at the left with the pins added is what I am seeking approval for as an optionality where the maps are available (mostly big cities). An argument could be made that there is a significant amount of additional cartographic content by adding the Southern California map right above the US map and I would support that option too.
I believe that in order to make it polished the side-by-side image will have to be the same height. I don't know if images can be presented by height or if widths can be adjusted algebraically based on relative aspect ratios. Also, the template may have to be flexible for more remote locations where only one level of zoomed in map is available and for the many existing articles during the interim time that it will take to convert to multiple maps.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:52, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

in fr:MediaWiki:Common.js) and probably changes made to ((location map)) (at least to do it in a clean way). I would suggest asking Jackmcbarn and Edokter. basically, you would want (1) the location map to know its parent, and then (2) have a button to change the location map to the parent (as it is in Gare de Lille-Flandres). you could potentially do this with changes to the core javascript and to ((infobox building)), but you would really want this feature to be available to all location maps, which is why I would say you would want changes to ((location map)). good luck. Frietjes (talk) 13:19, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
@TonyTheTiger: I added the GRAC map to the MFC article. I also updated Template:Location map United States Chicago Greater to use the name "Greater Chicago". What name do you suggest that Template:Location map United States Chicago should have? Also, regarding the maps you suggested, they can't be used with the location map system because they don't specify the details of their projection. For an example of what is required, see File:USA Illinois location map.svg (used by Template:Location map USA Illinois). It specifies that it is an equirectangular projection as well as what its boundaries are. You can go to Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop and request a location map image of a given area, though.

Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Dear Wikipedians from California/Architecture/Requested Pictures,
at german Wikipedia we just wrote an article about an architectural interesting office building at teh border of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, California. It has been used in several movies, such as Demolition Man or 12:01. Its not the same as The Oaks (Thousand Oaks, California), as the one I am talking about is located here: 34° 9′ 21.95″ N 118° 49′ 8.84″ W. We would be very happy to have a picture for this building. We already checked Wikipedia Commons if there is one - no. Could you help us with someone near this place taking a photo of that building? Or could you pass this question additionally to a better fitting place at english Wikipedia - if this is not the right place? I post this question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Architecture and Wikipedia talk:Requested pictures but none of those seem to fit perfectly. Looking forward
Yours --Zulu55 (talk) 08:51, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I have put the Manor House, Sleaford up for peer review here. It's an interesting building in Lincolnshire with some notable owners, and has received less attention than it should have done.

Arcology is an article assessed at mid-importance and is currently in a slow-motion content dispute regarding its lengthy "in popular culture" section. In the face of criticism that items in the section are poorly sourced as to their accuracy and relevance, Beyond My Ken (talk · contribs) has repeatedly reverted changes, including changes that merely tag the disputed material as such. He will allow removal of items only after discussion in the abstract (i.e. without reference to sources) about whether they should be in the article. But it is an expectation written into Wikipedia guidelines that material in an article should be verifiable from sources as to its accuracy and its notability among similar material. BMK wants a discussion outside those guidelines. Can anyone see a way forward in this dispute? 50.185.134.48 (talk) 04:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I was reading the Beauvais Cathedral article and when I finished it I checked the category listing as I was sure I had read about another cathedral in France where construction had stopped partway and never been resumed however this does not appear to have been made a category.

This article has recently been promoted to FA which prompts a couple of questions. Firstly, how do I get it into the Assessment Table? Secondly, what should its Importance rating be? I've rated it High, as I think it is a "Very important building (by a very important) architect." Its own importance is evidenced by its Grade I listed building status. The importance of its architect, William Burges, is evidenced by the High Importance rating he already has on the Architecture Portal scale. That said, I would be interested in other views as I can be rather partial when it comes to Billy Burges and I may be overstating its importance in the wider context.

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These likely copyright violations can be searched by WikiProject categories. Use "control-f" to jump to your area of interest (if such a copyvio is present). --Lucas559 (talk) 15:31, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

The information in Bryce Building and Bryce Building (Fort Worth, Texas) do not match, but they share the same street address in FW,TX,US. Are these the same building, or two separate buildings, and which set of information is correct? Since if they are two separate buildings, one or both contains bad information; but if they are the same building, then one or both contains bad information and the two need to be merged. If the are separate buildings, then the disambiguator doesn't work if both are in Fort Worth. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:26, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

A few days ago I finished a thorough copy-edit of the article Hadrian in response to a request at WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. I left a few questions for the requester at User talk:Cerme#Hadrian. One of them, item 5, has to do with a description of a temple built by Hadrian that is in the section Hadrian#Africa, Parthia and Anatolia; Antinous (123–124). Cerme replied on my talk page at User talk:Corinne#Again on Hadrian: "marble with gold thread"..

So I have an old house in the UK, and wanted to identify the style of skirting board I have. So searched Wikipedia for skirting board. It redirected to baseboard, which only suggested Moulding_(decorative). This seems only to have moulding styles with respect to coving (ceilings). So I was saddened to have to search outside of Wikipedia to find what I needed. http://www.skirting-board.co.uk/skirting-board-profiles.html had a useful list of profiles, and I found mine was 'Small Torus'. I searched Wikipedia to confirm, that the term doesn't come up in the context of architecture/decoration. So I thought I'd add this comment point out out the surprising lack of something. Hope it's helpful. If I knew more on the subject I'd write a page, but I'm not an expert.

Would anyone be interested in helping to clean up List of tallest buildings in Austin as it is undergoing a featured list review. There are some very big problems with many of the "tallest buildings lists" that are currently featured. I think this list specifically no longer meets featured list criteria. Specifically, two whole sections (under construction and approved) are completely unreferenced. There is an outdated tag from 3 years ago not addressed. There are many dead links, very messy citations, images have no alt-texts, and many of the buildings in the main list are unsourced. It has been neglected for years now and it shows. This would take a lot of work to bring it up to standards again sadly...
I have nominated List of tallest buildings in Austin for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.

Hi, can I interest anybody in contributing to a national edit-a-thon/contest for Wales in April, Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon. You can win up to £200 worth of Amazon vouchers and books of your choice for entering the contest. The idea is that Amazon vouchers and books can then be used by people to buy/have discount off more books and produce more articles for wikipedia. There is also a prize for the person who creates or expands the most articles on Welsh listed buildings, a Pevsner book of choice worth up to £30. However, if contests and prize aren't your cup of tea you're very welcome to participate in the edit-athon throughout the month. Everything will count and be added to a list at the bottom. We have a number of missing listed buildings identified and a core list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Core articles. Already we have about 30 people interested but it would be great to see more get involved and producing content and really show what can be achieved in a month.The point of it is getting some of the core articles up to decent status and an overall improvement in quality. So if you generally work on country houses or brudges or whatever and you spot something which might interest you please consider working on it within the next four weeks! There is also a physical edit-athon at the National Library of Wales on April 22, see this for details.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:45, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
