[edit] Eastnor Castle
Pugin was commissioned to decorate the drawing room in Eastnor castle in 1849, just 2 years after finishing the work on the H of Parliament. This is a picture of the room, it is said to be the most complete interior after the H of Parliament???
.
I would like to look at adding a section to the article about Eastnor, maybe even seeing if i can get some more photos.
The Eastnor web site can be seen here Pugin and Eastnor
Do you think this is a good idea..or maybe better to await more info before adding?
- Add it, add it - I think the more illustrative this article on Pugin is, the better. Kunchan 11:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Puzzled by this line in the article
on which he built for himself a quaint fifteenth-century house, St. Marie's Grange.
Can not see how in the 19th century you can build a fifteenth century house....you could renovate a 15th C house but not build one.

Collieman, there is just one little word left out! He built himeself a quaint fifteenth century style house. What else would he build? This is Pugin, after all.

[edit] Houses of Parliament
- I'd like ot see a better image of the Houses of Parliament - and one including the clock tower that houses Big Ben. I think Pugin's works aught to be illustrated as much as possible. Anyone have a free image?Kunchan 11:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- How about this image?
[edit] sample illustration
I have added a link to a sample of illustration by J.Nash-A.Pugin. The link is located in the section EARLY YEARS. After some consideration, I'm not sure whether this is correct, as Augustus Charles Pugin might be the correct co-author instead. May please anyone sort this out? thank you.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

- I posted the two images in question - though not quite sure why I posted the cover. But I am no longer interested in convincing a robot that it's okay to use them, so will post it here and if the keepers of the article want them, or different ones, or whatever, than they can figure it out. The folio that they are scanned from was published in 1927 and does not claim to be copyrighted. By that time Pugin's drawings were 75 (or whatever) years old and probably copyright free. Perhaps using the cover was a bad idea, but it is in a section of the article discussing publication, but I think the drawings are an asset to the article. perhaps I should just let the delitionists have at these and then post others with a more carefully picked copyright (or lack there-of) tag. Any ideas? Carptrash (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV and peacock terms
This entire article is written in an unencyclopaedic way and barely includes any sources: it is blatantly biased throughout. I'll try and re-write as much as I can but this article really is a disaster. SaintCyprian Talk 08:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
