[edit] Xanadu House

This article should be nominated as a featured article because it is an interesting topic and the article covers all areas of the topic, while discussing certain views of other people and including several photos with good captions. Wackymacs 11:30, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. Title needs to be in bold. Lead section should say who, what, where, when, how. Very poorly written. No print references. What influence did the house have on other architects and houses? To what extent could groceries "be bought by tele-shopping at the household work station"? Was this a concept or did it actually work? Gdr 13:21, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)
  • Object. Language needs working on, lots of problems with the tenses used (e.g., it's written mostly in the present, even when dealing with events and statements from the 70s and 80s). And why isn't 'The Book' referenced at the end, or made reference to outside the paragraph on it? And, surely, someone must have written some articles about this project? Finally, the article doesn't distinguish between concept, house(s), and commentary. Tobyox 17:53, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. The lack of citations is a big problem and should disqualify the candidate. I'm ok with all internet references as long as some are citation-formatted and some are more than personal websites or bloggy-like, this last only satisfied by a single link. Courtland 18:21, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)
