Question

Replace {{Architecture}} or {{architecture|class= …}}, etc, with {{architecture|class=NA|importance=NA}}:

	Architecture Portal This article covers subjects of relevance to Architecture. To participate, visit the WikiProject Architecture for more information. The current monthly improvement drive is Johannes Itten.
NA	This article has been rated as NA-Class on the assessment scale.
NA	This article has been rated as NA-importance on the assessment scale.

from the list of Category talk:xxxx architecture and Talk:xxxx architecture articles on the first page of the Category:Unassessed-importance Architecture articles Thank you, —Dogears (talk • contribs) 04:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you only want me to do the first page? Or should I do all of the articles? —Mets501 (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Just the first results page with items under the number headings - "1" through "9". And then, only the items which contain the "xxxx architecture" text, for example, Category talk:1230s architecture, Category talk:3rd century BC architecture or Talk: 1984 architecture. etc. etc. Thanks for your help & Happy New Year! --dogears (talk) 19:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Getting to it now. —Mets501 (talk) 21:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

That was fast! Thanks. I also noticed that the {{architecture}} tag can be completely removed from all Image talk: pages, in any and all of the importance categories (FA, A, GA, B, Stub, unassessed and NA) Refer to: Category:Architecture articles by importance. Thanks again. —Dogears 23:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that one. That would require deleting the page (becuase they'd be empty) and it's just not that bad if the tag is there with class=NA. —Mets501 (talk) 00:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, go for it. Replace the tag in any Image talk: or Category talk: pages that already has the {{architecture}} tag (appearing in any of the Category:Architecture articles by importance) with a "double NA" tag. Cheers —Dogears 00:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Happy new year

We've been down to Dorset for the new year - no architecture, but I did see weather that rained upwards and felt like gravel! Trust you're in fine fettle - seems there's been something of a spat and Giano left after some admins colluded to bait and ban him - not cricket - turn my back for 5 mins........ take care. --Mcginnly | Natter 18:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Featured portal candidate

The portal's currently up as a featured portal candidate. It's been generally well received but some input would be appreciated regarding the news section. The comments have been that a news section should reflect current events, as the section is not updated massively regularly, the reviewers feel it's not really reflecting current events. I've argued that architectural news is rather scant and suggested renaming the section to something like "Architecture in 2006-2007" but I'm not sure they'll go for this. Other suggestions include a "Architecture in this month" section. What should we do? I've opened a debate thread here --Mcginnly | Natter 01:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Castles Project scope

Many thanks for the comment on my talk page, I've merged that discussion onto the project's talk page, where it's attracted some more comment that might interest you. Neddyseagoon - talk 15:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Snagging

I need a translator - what's snagging called in the US? Is 890 snags on the list unusual for a building of the size and complexity of the Scottish Parliament building? --Mcginnly | Natter 15:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks man. How's the assessment going? I'm shagged out, but it's all ticking over nicely. We might be out of the A's by February and I'm looking forward to the B's..... --Mcginnly | Natter 01:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

On another tack - did you see the thread at the WP:FPCAN page about automatic rotation of the selected articles and images - I think the idea is we cue up pages in advance of the rotation (at our leisure) and a bot does the rotation. Sounds interesting to me, what do you think? --Mcginnly | Natter 03:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

New Old House

Hey. I noticed you tagged New Old House for WP:CFD. I reverted it, because as an article it of course isn't applicable for Cfd. I suppose you meant to apply some cleanup tag or similar, since you had "January 2007" as parameter? Thanks, Prolog 12:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Article on William Burges

Dear Dogears

Thank you very much for have wikified my addtions to the Burges article. I am afraid I am a wikipedia novice and don't really know how lay out the page, select appropriate headings etc.

You may be able to answer another question. I have some photos of Burges buildings I would like to place on the page. The main ones are some of Castle Coch that I took at Christmas this year. Can you point me in the direction of instructions for adding photos? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks and regards.

KJP1 --—Preceding unsigned comment added by KJP1 (talk • contribs)

Dear Dogears

Thank you very much for your encouragement and advice. I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I have been a fan of Burges since I was about 14 years old and living in South Wales, but Wikipedia was a very recent discovery. Saw that the Burges article was not very full and thought I could add a little. Shall now concentrate on burnishing and improving the article and later will try and add some of the photos I have taken of Burges' work over the last 25 years.

I very much appreciate your support.

Regards.

"......official policy" to display photo's on the portal with no border | none | and the caption text below it in a <div>??? How about regular article pages? " erm. Kirill suggested it at the [[WP:FPC]]. no thumbnail code in either was the request.

St Crispin's School

I note that you have removed the Architecture Project banner from this page. The school is a Grade II listed building. Why is it felt necessary to remove the banner? Dahliarose 22:55, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for re-instating the banner. I'm very pleased to see that you have now given the article an assessment! Dahliarose 09:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Juan de Herrera

Hello, Dogears, I hve seen your assessment to Juan de Herrera. The minimum stub perhaps lead you to confussion about the relevance of this architect. I have enlarged it a bit, and clarified the importance of his work in El Escorial and in the architecture of the following century. Could you please reconsider the assesment? Your faithfully,--Garcilaso 12:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Portal rotation

I forgot to ask - did the auto-rotation go ok at the weekend - or where there any glitches? --Mcginnly | Natter 13:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

PS - do you think it's possible to add a scrollable box for new article announcements to the bulletin - like you did on the wikiproject page, but just one line (the most current addition) --Mcginnly | Natter 14:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

You're a gen-u-ine dog-gorn genius my friend (best southern drawl)- the code on that link went whistling over my head like a farting hamster. Sure thing I'll format the weekly articles - adding a link and a plea to the bulletin for the selected features seems a good idea although if we don't see more interest pretty soon I'm inclined to spend an hour or two and load the thing up for six months or so. In the meantime a hand updating the transclusion lists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/FAC, Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/FIC, Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/Peer review/list - I do it every few days because there's quite a bit of turnover. 3 of us? did you notice DVD has left the project? - I didn't want to intrude on private grief, but somethings pissed him off. --Mcginnly | Natter 00:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Name Change

Arichitecture Project

• Architecture also deals with Structural Engineering, and many structural engineering articles are in the scope of architecture (normally), and because there is no sepreate project for structural engineering, thus the rename. --Parker007 02:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

My contributions

I have contributed to this project by: Sill_Plate, Platform_framing and many more edits in other articles. --Parker007 02:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

More wikiprojects

If we make more and more wikiprojects it will end up here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Inactive_WikiProjects

But I am very interested in creating a wikiProject that deals with creating articles regarding the companies that supply construction products & materials. However creating an assesment box like the one above is very hard.

For example the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Urban_studies_and_planning doesnt have an assesment box.

I recently was involved in creating the wikiproject Dentistry Assesment box see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dozenist#Bot_to_update_articles.3F

--Parker007 02:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore the bigger and more organized the project is, it can bring so many articles to FA status, and lots of main page attention; Have you noticed recently that in every few days there is an article on the main page which is related to India? Wikipedia:WikiProject_India. (Plus in their project they have admin participants). --Parker007 03:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Automated Variables

Please discuss your changes before you make them. All of these pages are now orphaned from the main Portal. There are several variables that we have been using to automate the Project, and assessment that's automated by a bot. Are you going to rename all those files? Please move the project back to the old name. Your welcome to do any related "Engineering" topics in the project, no problem, just please reset the old project name. —Dogears (talk • contribs) 04:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Can't we tell the bot to do that; we can put a request Wikipedia:Bot_requests if you don't have a bot already. --Parker007 05:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

The article Architecture, to which you have helped contribute, has been flagged as requiring cleanup. If possible, we would appreciate your assistance in cleaning up this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's quality standards. If you are unsure what the nature of the problem is, please discuss this on the article's talk page. If you do not want to receive bot-generated messages on your talk page, please consider using the nobots template on your user talk page

Belated timeline response

Hi. Timeline of architectural styles 6000BC—Present etc. look great. I wonder though if we're not better off keeping them all in the same article page for now - a substle renaming to Timelines of architectural styles would do the trick and we can keep the massive global overview idea you had originally, but separate it neatly into various section headers. Timeline of architectural styles 6000BC—Present etc. run the risk of become isolated from each other. Just a thought. --Mcginnly | Natter 12:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Move

I apologize for causing the move of the wikiproject from Wikiproject Architecture to Wikiproject Architecture and Structural Engineering. Peace. --Parker007 15:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Help?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me in my detailing assignments; I would be very grateful if you would be able to that; because its very confusing where to exactly section the assignment, and because the instructor doesn't bother to explain how to do it. Also its in 2D if you know what I mean. I am having a really hard time. This course is part-time, i.e. in the evenings, and it goes very fast; It started on Jan 9, 2007 to Feb 15, 2007, Tuesday, Thursday 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

Apparantly now I have just 1 week to do tons of assignments which I cannot understand; and I don't have any friends to ask for help.

And now I also need to prepare for the final exams which is divided in 2 parts one on tuesday and the other part on thursday. If you are willing to give it a shot I can scan the assignment which is to be done free hand, I will understand if you do not have the time, or are unwilling to help for personal reasons. --Parker007 18:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• http://parker0007.googlepages.com/Assignment8.pdf
• I tried earlier to ask for help from User:Mcginnly via email:

• I did not recieve any reply from User:Mcginnly.
• I was not able to attend todays class due to extreme stress & anxiety. Because of this stress, it lead to diarrhea.
• I hope you will help me out. Thank You. --Parker007 02:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you very much; I will attempt to draw it; I will try to figure out (even though it may take me hours) how to detail in 2D "Roof eave high heel truss, "chorded engineered truss," "profile aluminum siding," "aluminum eaves trough," "fascia (an article about muscle tissue)," "Fascia (architecture)," "Vented aluminum soffit," and "imporegnated cardboard insulation stop.

Permission needed to use image/ Release form

Dogears,

I need an electronic signature for the form below to use the Puffer with shark's mouth in a history of the boat. See form and exchange of info with wikipedia staff below. I looked for this image for 4 years, where did you find it? What is your connection to the Puffer? My father served in the boat for war patrols 2 thru the end of the war.

My thanks in advance.

The "USS Puffer (SS-268)" article seems to have 2 photos at the moment. One of them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:USS_Puffer%3B0826801.jpg) is a work of US Navy, therefore in the public domain.

Second picture (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:USS_Puffer_%28SS-268%29.jpg), however, is a work of Dogears, one of our users. although he/she clearly states that he/she is releasing the image to the public domain, it would be a good idea to contact the user personally and resolve the issue.

You could contact the user via the talk page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dogears

Or you could try to e-mail using the Wiki interface (you need to have an account for that):

Barns

Thanks for the read, short but sweet, had a couple things that differed here and there. The whole business of classifying and studied barns, especially for their significance in cultural geography is a relatively new phenomenon. A mcmurray 05:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I presume you know about the round barn at the Shaker Village in Hancock, Massachusetts.A mcmurray 05:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

That's cool. So even if people hated the Shakers then now they can hug them and love them and go visit their barn and pay them dollars for handicrafts and poof! no more hatred. Except for the pimply faced Shaker kid working the register at the handicrafts shop, he wants to hurt people. But that's neither here nor there ; ).A mcmurray 05:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Mateus Fernandes

This is a request to assess this biography I just wrote, after doing a research for a long time. I've tried in this article to assemble almost everything known about this important Portuguese architect, who almost invented the Manueline style single-handedly. I would also appreciate if you would check my choice of words or my style, as I'm not a native speaker. JoJan 15:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions and assessment. They increased the readability of the article. I wouldn't be surprised if this article is the most comprehensive biography available at this moment, as almost nothing is known about this important architect (or should I say 'master of works' ?). As far as I know there are no books or websites dedicated uniquely to this man. I'm afraid your rating "start" won't be upgraded soon to B or A, unless one adds a lot of discussions about his artistic works. But such discussions would hardly be objective, thus violating NPOV.

New NRHP Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

NRHP - Frank Lloyd Wright

In the next couple weeks I am planning to expand the Wiki's coverage of Frank Lloyd Wright building's, especially with the concentration in Oak Park, Illinois. I would be willing to help expand Auldbrass Plantation as part of that personal project. If you are interested in helping inquire on my talk page. There are 100s of buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright and affiliated architects in the Chicagoland area, so this would be an amazing chance to really up the ante, so to speak, concerning Wikipedia and Frank Lloyd Wright. IvoShandor 16:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

There's a bunch of Wright-designed buildings at Florida Southern College. Count me in. :) --Ebyabe 17:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a great project/collaboration that can get a lot of people interested. The Library of Congress - American Memory database has hundreds of images and detailed data pages together on one page specifically for FLW. See the following links:

• Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings Recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey (Prints and Photographs Reading Room, Library of Congress)
• Frank Lloyd Wright: Designs for an American Landscape, 1922-1932 (Library of Congress Exhibition)

Awesome links. I think this will be pretty awesome. My first tasks are as follows, which anyone can help with.

• Stubs - the Frank Lloyd Wright related historic districts in Oak Park are yet to be stubbed: Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District, Ridgeland-Oak Park Historic District. The third one is Prairie School related but I don't believe it has any actual Wright buildings, Gunderson Historic District.

• Stubs - Individual buildings within the districts. Several are individually listed, and need articles. Most are not listed alone and are contributing properties to historic districts.

• Photos: All of the articles that are stubbed as part of this district I can supply original photos for in the next couple weeks, those combined with whatever we pull from HABS (any design drawings would be really cool for a Commons gallery, as well as the historic photos) can be uploaded to Commons for galleries.

• Photos: Speaking of Commons, we should go ahead and try to organize the FLW cats on Commons by buildings, at least if they aren't already, I looked at briefly, seems like they could use some cleanup.

• Expansion: The stubs are just the first part, the articles can be expanded through various sources, HABS usually has some documentation. For sites in Illinois the HAARGIS database is awesome (lucky us since so many Wright buildings are in Illinois.

Anyone who has similar task lists should post them, is there enough interest to merit a division either in NRHP or Archtecture projects?

New architecture article bot

Hi - thanks for the kind words. I'm quite happy to have the feed from the bottom going anywhere, so long as it is visible enough that interested editors can find it. The original output is at User:AlexNewArtBot/ArchitectureSearchResult, so that can be transcluded anywhere people want it to go. The bot searches for articles daily, so redlinks and redirects were articles at the time. There's no way to prevent them being listed, but there's no harm in removing them from the list. If you have any other suggestions for rules, please put them forward - or add them yourself, should you wish to. Warofdreams talk 01:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added the bot list as a transclusion to the new article announcement - Ultimately, with some refinement, in theory (I've got caveatitis today and the ointment doesn't seem to be working) people won't need to manually add to the list so it makes sense to pop it in at the top and let people for now add what they want beneath. It doesn't seem to be showing up in the bulletin though, any ideas? regards --Mcginnly | Natter 22:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

National Art Center, Tokyo

Hi Dogears,

Just a comment about your edits to The National Art Center, Tokyo. Apparently, you copied and pasted the contents to National Art Center, Tokyo. When you do this, the edit history gets lost. That's not allowed under Wikipedia policy. Instead, you should use the Move button to rename an article. Using the Move button keeps the edit history together with the article, in accordance with the GFDL (the license Wikipedia uses). As a result, it will be necessary to undo the copy and paste. I have no objection to the new title, and if you wish to retitle the article in accordance with Wikipedia policy, there's no problem in doing so. However, it is no longer possible to use the move button, so a move request is necessary. Please feel free to do a move request if you want to change the title.

Best regards,

Image:Smokey-the-bear-matchcover.png

Hello Dogears, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Smokey-the-bear-matchcover.png) was found at the following location: User:Dogears/*Image gallery. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 18:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

NRHP vs Architecture

I am sorry if I have overstepped my bounds. Most projects consider it helpful to have related work tagged for them. I am very curious on what types of NRHP properties are not worthy as Architecture articles. However, if many are then I have sourely gone too far because many of my contributions have been non-NRHP Chicago Landmark structures. I will refrain from any contributions or accept further guidance. I don't really think 6000 should have much to do with your instructions. At WP:WPChi, we have about 10K and would not have a problem with doubling that with articles within the scope of the project. I don't mean to be rude, but how active are you at WP:WPARCH and what is your role there? TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 03:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Well considering he established the assessment section of the project - I'd say fairly instrumental - I've written some thoughts and am encouraging some discussion on the talk page of WP:WPARCH. Kind regards --Mcginnly | Natter 23:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome - on another matter you'd you take a look at this. I didn't want to upset anyone but I couldn't in all conscience agree that it should be a GA - having articles correct referenced just isn't the only measure of a good article - I've explained my reasons on the peer review page - perhaps you'd take a look as a second opinion? --Mcginnly | Natter 13:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Phaeno-exterior-press-kit1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Phaeno-exterior-press-kit1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
