[edit] Mills
Coverage of windmills, watermills, animal engines etc. isn't as good as it could be. Are there any editors interested in forming a Wikiproject or Task Force on Mills? Mjroots (talk) 10:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Somerset Towers
Hi, I am working with the wikigroup on articles pertaining to Somerset, UK. I'm no architect or historian, but all the experts seem to agree that our county's medieval church towers are a very important contribution to art and architecture. Would it be possible for one of your editors to have a look at this? thanks, Celia Kozlowski (talk) 23:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Query
Hello all. I have an issue someone here might be able to address. What is a Wallace window? I am coming up empty on Google, and Wiki. From what I can gather it looks like a decorative window (stained glass) of a very specific shape, which resembles a pointed arched Gothic window. This assessment is based only on a few images retrieved via Google. I would like to do an article on the topic but can't find much, if anyone can recommend any books, web sites, or other literature on the topic, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- Okay, so it seems to be more rounded than pointed, guess I should have enlarged the thumbs. IvoShandor (talk) 12:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maps in infoboxes
I don't know if you are familiar with http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowse-tbl/ I just created my first maps from the service this week. One is at Historic Michigan Boulevard District and another is at Trump International Hotel & Tower (Chicago). A better example is Image:Rush Street via tiger.census.gov.gif, which is at a scale to show street detail. I think it might make sense to reformat some of the infoboxes to accommodate maps as well as images. The TIGER maps above just need latitude and longitude and then scaling parameter. I think all buildings should have maps. I think WP:SKY, WP:NRHP and WP:WPARCH should probably get involved because we would need to goose some infobox templates to make room for maps. What do you think?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Expert in field invitation of Architecture related articles
Hey all! I am inviting anyone that has free time and knowledge to have a look at this page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/GeneralxHotlist and see if they can help in any way in terms of creating an article about the Architecture related topics. I am not sure if it would be better if Art and Architecture be grouped as one per civilization or if they should be divided into 2 (for example Babylonian art & Babylonian Architeture) but I figure this (along with the Art wikiproject) would have an individual capable enough to make that decision. I am no expert in the field so yeah, otherwise I would arrange the articles myself. Any thoughts or coments are welcome and by all means, if you feel you are up for the task, be bold and give those articles a go. Cheers! Calaka (talk) 07:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Architecture of Africa - Does it need splitting?
There has been a persistent vandal that has been trying to split the Architecture of Africa article into two, one based on North African architecture, and another on Sub-Saharan architecture. Her argument being that the two are distinctly different and unrelated, with North African bearing traits of South Mediterranean architecture and Sub-Saharan with not much. I personally don't see much issue with keeping both in a single article, as the article itself is not very long in the first place, and there is plenty of space to point out the division in style from North and Sub-Saharan within the article itself without having to split it. Only problem is her insistence on splitting it is mostly on grounds that bunching both together robs Mediterranean people of their achievements and benefits Black Africans. No idea what that's about though. Anyone want to chime in on this? Chan Yin Keen | Talk 21:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] GAR debate on buildings under construction
There is debate on whether buildings under construction are stable enough and complete enough to be WP:GA. Currently, 
Chicago Spire, Joffrey Tower, and 108 North State Street are GAs. Thus, the debate is important to our project. Comment would be useful at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago)/1.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfC on a proposal to split "The O2 arena" section of the article, The O2 into a new article.
As the aforementioned article is in the scope of this project, I thought I would let project members know of this RfC and ask users to leave their comments on the article's talk page. Thanks. Tbo 157(talk) 16:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
