DYK nom
Hi. I've nominated Richards Medical Research Laboratories, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. Niagara Don't give up the ship 21:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Esherick House next?
Loved the improvements to
- Yes, please do let me know what you'd like to have photographed of Kahn's in or around Philly. Knowing what to shoot is a lot more important than just snapping pix. I might even promise a 2 week turnaround. This time of year is a bit unpleasant at times, but most of the trees don't get so much in the way. I generally have about 5 or more photos on a site for every one I post on Commons, so if I read a good description of what's important, I might even have something ok on hand. e.g. after reading the first section after the intro of Richards, I came up with File:Goddard South.JPG, which seems to be on topic, if not especially beautiful. Let me know what I can do. Smallbones (talk) 00:53, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- OK - a list of 14 items is a bit challenging, but I asked for it! Expect 1-5 to be done ok if the weather cooperates. Smallbones (talk) 02:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- No problem - just got back and did the first editing - it looks like 9 photos will be more or less ok and fit with 6-7 of your requests. The angles are tough and if you put some pix together the way I'd planned, you'll get seasick. Will be uploaded within 2 hours. Smallbones (talk) 20:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- The entrance, tower tops, and concrete porch photos look good to me, but I'll let you be the judge on how informative the pix are.
- If you have any requests as far as the factory near Harrisburg, please do let me know. I MAY be going past in 12 days and it looks accessible. Knowing what to shoot helps a lot! Smallbones (talk) 21:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- I decided not to take that trip in the snow, but don't worry - I go by at least every six months, and it might only take a couple of months. I see what you mean about a view from an airplane being best, but the factory is very close to public roads and parking lots, and needs some distance anyway to capture the whole thing. Google Street View shows how easy it is to get close. I'll probably fall back on my usual method - take what seems important, take what seems beautiful and try to walk around the whole thing without worrying about taking too many shots.
- Thanks for the kind words on the Richards shots. Feel free to change the descriptions. I might consider removing one photo from the article, where the towers are bending together. You might also consider using a gallery (see Esherick House for an example). Galleries are officially discouraged, but I think for architectural articles they can make sense. All the best.

DYK for Richards Medical Research Laboratories
DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Thanks for your article Victuallers (talk) 02:26, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Welcome
Better belated than never: Welcome to Wikipedia! Nice to see your excellent contributions on Louis Kahn buildings. I would certainly encourage you to bring these further to
Snowstorms, etc.
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about taling pix of the Olivetti Factory. There have been a few snowstorms here and it's a bit far, but I'll get there probably sooner than later.
I very much like your expansion of
Very much the same with Richards Labs - I'll suggest you first go to
I had noticed the Clever House article and had planned to go there as soon as the snowstorms go away. Everything is now melted, so perhaps within 2 weeks. From Google Streetview, the strange thing about the house is the "normal, suburban" area that it's in.
Are you interested in Oscar Stonorov? I've snapped 4-5 of his buildings including his own house at Avon Lea.
All the best,

Exeter Library GAN
Hello Bilpen. Just giving you a heads up that I intend to review the GAN for Phillips Exeter Academy Library. I look forward to working with you! Edge3 (talk) 23:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hey! Don't worry about timeliness, since I will also be busy over the next few days and may have time for only brief reviewing. Nevertheless, I am here to keep your first GA experience as simple as possible. I'm flexible when it comes to how you want to respond to my comments, but it is common (not necessarily standard) practice to respond to each bullet point. Sometimes the nominators begin their revisions and respond to the reviewer's comments at the same time, but if you would like to discuss the revisions with me first, then that is also fine. Feel free to send me a message if you have any more questions! Edge3 (talk) 23:58, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem at all! It was such a pleasure working with you, and I'm sure that any future GAN processes will go much faster for you. :)
As for your question, I don't think your article is in violation of
Having said that, I should point out that
Does that answer your question? Let me know if you have any further questions! WikiProject Architecture could also help you, if needed. Edge3 (talk) 01:59, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Thomas etc. sources
Consider adding some of the material you've been reading/writing to
]New Haven Jewish Community Center
Because of your interest in Louis Kahn, I wanted to draw your attention to some edits I made to Yale School of Art about their building which has relatively recently been attributed to Kahn. I only added a couple of sentences (drawing on, as you can see, Susan Solomon's book on his Trenton JCC), but I thought that I'd call your attention to it in case you wanted to add it to your to-do list to improve the Kahn section.

Hi
I figured I would reach out to you here first, before tagging the article, especially since you just created it. Can you take a look? Quotations are fine (I see much of what was detected are quotes), but copy/paste would be copyright infringement. = paul2520 (talk) 16:16, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- I finished reading the article & marked it as reviewed. After a second look at the copyvio detector results, the vast majority are longer direct quotes, which are cited. That and some legal terminology (which looks to me to be fair to use the same terms). I would still appreciate you looking over the results, but overall - the article is great. Thank you for your contributions to our encyclopedia! = paul2520 (talk) 16:27, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- (@Paul2520:) Thanks for the careful checking. You are right in saying that much of the resemblance results refer to direct quotes and legal terminology. Others refer to the names of organizations and institutions. The remainder are brief phrases that no one could reasonably claim as copyright violations. I didn't spot anything that looked like a serious problem. If there are any, naturally I would be happy to modify them, but I think we are OK here. Bilpen (talk) 19:29, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
