I don't think this WordPress website is a reliable source, is it? Added (in good faith) by User:Eagledj to expand Edward Emmett Dougherty. But if it's unreliable, none of its related content can appear on Wikipedia.Zigzig20s (talk) 14:28, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Greetings and salutations, attentive members of WikiProject Architecture. As a fellow member of this WikiProject, I wish to ask your assistance with Ludwigsburg Palace in proofreading and the Featured Article process. –Vami_IV✠ 01:18, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Cherry Hill, Virginia Water was created at about the same time that it went on the market having been renovated for over 4 years. [2] [3]. i have a very strong suspicion that the editor who created this article may have a COI and be using this page as a means of gaining visibility for the property. As a grade II listed building and with a real historic background I had no qualms about accepting this AFC submission but I would appreciate it if someone with more experience in architecture than I have a look and clean up any unnecessary estate agent fluff. Cheers Dom from Paris (talk) 17:05, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
There's a major expansion in progress at University of Chicago Law School which includes a very brief discussion of the school's architecture, and a bunch of editors not very knowledgeable on the subject (I'm assuming; I'm certainly not). If anyone here with an interest in Gothic heritage architecture, academic heritage, Chicago in general, and/or the works of Eero Saarinen would like to contribute to the expansion, your ideas would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks! Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:56, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Looking for more input at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#National_Park_Service, about a source for Falcon Rest, a historic house in Warren County, Tennessee. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:27, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Sandringham House is up for FAC here, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sandringham House/archive1. As architecture, it leaves quite a lot to be desired, but it's a rare example of a fully-functioning Victorian estate surviving into the 21st century. And two kings died there, if that sort of thing floats your boat. It could do with a reviewer or two and any and all comments would be greatly appreciated. KJP1 (talk) 21:00, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
This talk page thread doesn't really answer the question posed there. If I have a building which was completed in year X, and was torn down in year Y, what category(ies) should it be in? -- RoySmith (talk) 21:07, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Another FAC for Ludwigsburg Palace, the largest palace estate in Germany. At the moment, it and the Queluz National Palace are the only GA or above-ranked Baroque palaces in the WikiProject. I humbly request your comment and, if I may, support. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello, this is in reference to Affordable housing, which is about twice the recommended Wikipedia page size. Since this page is a C-class, High-importance page in your project, I wanted to drop by and propose splitting off the section on New York City into its own page.

Hello all. I recently stumbled upon Sergei Tchoban which seems to have been created and edited mainly by Single Purpose Accounts and COIs. It seems resume like to me and does not have citations for the written part of the biography. I came across an article that supported parts of it but it was written recently and likely just copied what was on Wikipedia. I come here to see if any more experienced members could help with this article, especially the very lengthy Awards and Major buildings and projects section. Thank you, HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:12, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

The WikiJournal of Humanities is a free, peer reviewed academic journal which aims to provide a new mechanism for ensuring the accuracy of Wikipedia's humanities, arts and social sciences content. We started it as a way of bridging the Wikipedia-academia gap. It is also part of a WikiJournal User Group along with Wiki.J.Med and Wiki.J.Sci. The journal is still starting out and not yet well known, so we are advertising ourselves to WikiProjects that might be interested. |
If you want to know more, please see this recent interview with some WikiJournal editors, the journal's About page, or check out a comparison of similar initiatives. If you're interested, please come and discuss the project on the journal's talk page, or the general discussion page for the WikiJournal User group.
As an illustrative example, Wiki.J.Hum published its first article this month!

Dear Fellow Wikipedians, without intending it, I have spent some time on Decimus's entry and I believe he deserves to be much better known.

I could use some help at 151 North Franklin in fixing map parameters.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:31, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I would appreciate a second set of eyes to check the images I've added to List of house styles, as well as the categorization. I've generally deferred to the image descriptions and/or used the images listed at the articles for each style, but I'm not sure it's all correct (and I'm sure there is plenty missing). Thank you in advance. Levivich (talk) 06:53, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
While working on 151 North Franklin, it has come to my attention that the Chicago Loop should have a map like File:Loop_Map.png that could be used for the map_type parameter in ((Infobox building))

Currently the article Megalithic Temples of Malta is assessed as being Mid-importance on this project's importance scale. Mid-importance is given to subjects which fill in more minor details, and I don't believe this article falls into that category. I am therefore proposing to reassess the article as Top-importance, since it is a must-have for a print encyclopaedia. The Megalithic Temples of Malta are some of the oldest free-standing structures in existence, and they are also very significant from an architectural point of view, so I believe it clearly falls into the Top-importance category which according to this project's importance assessment covers:
Do other members agree with reassessing this article? Xwejnusgozo (talk) 20:49, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
I'm starting a longish project to document all the significant architecture in The Bronx. Buildings that don't currently have articles about them will get them written (assuming I can find suitable WP:RS), and the buildings photographed. Please take a look at User talk:RoySmith/Architecture in The Bronx and add suggestions for other notable buildings. Create new sections for styles as required. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:01, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
Currently, the majority of subcategories of Category:Architecture by country are in the format Fooian architecture. I think there's a case, for some at least, to split them into Fooian architecture (covering the architectural style) and Architecture of Foo or Architecture in Foo (covering architecture located within a country). Has this been previously discussed? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:25, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
PS Hmm. I missed this 2010 CfD. But the proposal there was for renaming, while I'm now suggesting splitting them, so most of the opposes there won't apply. Does anyone have comments or suggestions? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:29, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

I graduated from Mariemont High School and am rather astounded that the article on it says nothing about it's highly unusual architecture. Large portions of the school are octagonal "learning pods" without real walls between rooms. The original idea was that there would be no interior walls between most classrooms and students would sit on bean bag chairs. This was in the early 1970's, by the time I was a student there that philosophy was long gone and there were all sorts of half-walls and partitions but you could still totally hear everything going on in adjacent areas in many places and the classrooms had no "back" so right behind the last row of desks was a de facto hallway so anyone needing to go anywhere would just walk right through the back of classrooms to get there. This is the only image I coul did showing the odd layout, it is exterior only and doesn't show the absurd classroom designs, but you can see the octagonal pods.
I'm quite certain this was quite notable in it's time, to the extent that the university classes for teachers would regularly visit it to see this amazing new idea of how a school be, until it became clear that it was actually terrible and not conducive to learning. So, the school district basically doesn't talk about it anywhere that I can find, and I haven't been able to find any online sources about it. They are apparently planning to demolish the pods and built normal classrooms there in the coming months, so there may be more presss about it. Hoping the fine folks at this project may have some insight. I'll also notify the Education and schools projects in case they have any insights.
Thanks for your time. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:00, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Also, would appreciate additional eyes on a recent significant edit by Saisman974 that was reverted pretty quickly by MrOllie for being promotional.

This article showed the basic knowledge of interior architecture. It did a good job giving information on what type of career a person might get into if their majoring in this. It also gave what degrees are needed, jobs that are available, and the pay rate starting at an internship and then working your way up. I enjoyed reading this article and I am going to read up more on interior designing.Kayla Johnson1 (talk) 23:01, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:23, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

I am the non-COI editor who suggested trying this. I think it would be a good idea to improve the article I am trying to help write about their SpacesWorks coworking.

Hello! I have recently created a bot to remove completed infobox requests and am sending this message to WikiProject Architecture since the project currently has a backlogged infobox request category. Details about the task can be found at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PearBOT 2, but in short it removes all infobox requests from articles with an infobox, once a week. To sign up, reply with ((ping|Trialpears)) and tell me if any special considerations are required for the Wikiproject. For example: if only a specific infobox should be detected, such as ((infobox journal)) for WikiProject Academic Journals; or if an irregularly named infobox such as ((starbox begin)) should be detected. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Do any editors have further information on this house, the last in the list of Houses and Gardens in the List of Works by Edwin Lutyens article? It was added by an IP 165.225.72.59 on 29 October 2016. Looking to knock off the remaining red links, I've done some digging and there appears some debate as to whether it actually is Lutyens. The source seems clear that the house was undertaken to his designs. The owner, Ridgeon, was a major builder, so perhaps Lutyens just did drawings? But it isn't listed. That seems implausible, although not impossible (I know of a William Burges church that was not listed until last year). I can't see it in the revised Cambridgeshire Pevsner, although I could have missed it as the entry for Hills Road is quite long. Lastly, it seems to be threatened by demolition, [9], [10], [11], or perhaps has by now been demolished. [It's still standing on Google Earth - CB20QG but I don't know when that was taken.] It would seem improbable that HE would not take a view on the demolition of a Lutyens building. Any information would be extremely helpful. Have also posted on the List of Works Talk page. KJP1 (talk) 13:35, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
I have nominated Sicilian Baroque for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria.

First a bit of background. Several years ago disagreements between what I took to be British and American editors at the Queen Anne style architecture that could only be resolved by creating a Queen Anne style architecture in the United States. It happened again (not really sure which came first, at Second Empire architecture, forcing the generation of Second Empire architecture in the United States and Canada. The same thing happened agin at Greek Revival architecture, forcing me to leave saying that a Greek Revival architecture in America had to be, though I never did it. Now it is happening again at Romanesque Revival architecture, to the point where I referenced an edit, or proposed edit from the AIA (American Institute of Architects) Guide to NYC” and was informed, “I’m sure the AIA is a fine august body, but in this case it is mistaken. “ I am afraid at that point I was reduced to using the term Eurotrash, which did not help, but can a wikipedia editor deny an edit because the AIA was mistaken? Or should I just publish a Romanesque Revival architecture in the United States and let it go at that? Any ideas? Carptrash (talk) 03:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
And we should also do the Queen Anne Style architecture (British) and Queen Anne Style architecture (US) thing too. I have seen no one objecting and they really are different styles. This need not be another American Revolution or War of 1812. Let's just Balkanize this article and go our sordid separate ways. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 00:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
