I'm unsure of the final naming convention here:
- Brympton D'Evercy?
- Brympton d'Evercy?
- Should there be a space after the apostrophe?
- You were right with # 2. (Wetman 15:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC))
Giano, Carambat couldn't be called a celebrated violinist. Maybe Grove's Dictionary of Music will give enough detail to briefly disambiguate him here. --15:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
The Melbourne Cathedral is also the largest Church to have been commenced and brought to substantial completion, anywhere in the world in the 19th century
- These are typical illusions of megalomania. I suspect that even in Russia, Saint Isaac's Cathedral and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour were bigger and much more opulently decorated to boot. It remains to be decided what is the criterion of "largeness" in this case. Check List of tallest churches for one of the criterions. --Ghirla | talk 09:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Giano, at Government House, Melbourne, that tower has machiolations (right word?) that make it definitely not a campanile but a reference to a generic palazzo della signoria]]—to be read as a power reference. At [[Palazzo Vecchio, there is even that open altana that Wardell has recast in classicizing idiom. The Belgravia note is unmistakable, I think: you could set the corps de logis right down in Belgrave Square, couldn't you? Shouldn't the more detailed description of a commission generally be under that commission's article, with its description at Wardell's article mostly fitting the commission into his career? ...I had a wonderful set of nesting boxes at the age of four and have never completely left them behind... The Aussies must have been distinctly unthrilled by that spectacular throne for the Governor General in the Ballroom, eh? --Wetman 15:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
