message: "In between these periods he was thought to have been heavily involved in working alongside architect, John Thorpe, to design Charlton House in South-East London. This is also indicated by the fact that there is a road in his name in the town near the house." In fact, even the attribution of the design to John Thorpe is doubtful: responsible attributions to Thorpe are made on the basis of plans in his book of designs at Sir John Soane's Museum, London, or in connection with Thorpe's work at the royal works. There is no documented connection between Jones and Thorpe whatsoever. This text needs to be an attributed quote from someone before it can be inserted as a sound assertion. --Wetman 18:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Having edited this article on several occasions since 2003, I have seen how the article has progressively been expanded and improved over time. IMHO the text on the Soane Museum page is a copy of text from Wikipedia, not vice versa. Paul W (talk) 14:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to agree with Paul. This diff] shows the evolution of part of the wording of the article, which is eventually found on the Soane site. PS - can anyone actually find any informtion regarding copyright on the Soanne site - we should write to them and complain. --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Checking this, I tend to agree. Ori Redler (talk) 22:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Merely "tending" to agree sounds as if wisps of nebulous doubt remain. Perhaps we may have a clearer closing statement. It's often recommended to check development of text at an article's Page History first before applying a Copyright Violation banner and actually removing the page's content. Those actions are disruptive for readers of Wikipedia, and send editors scurrying about, which, though entertaining, might even be thought of as discourteous. --Wetman (talk) 05:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyright violation

message: As Inigo Jones's family was Catholic, and both father and son bore the name Inigo, perhaps they were named in honor of St. Ignatius Loyola (born Inigo Onaz Lopez) who died in 1556. The Jesuits were a presence in England so would be a known factor to Catholics there.
This is simply a supposition. It might be something for someone to research.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayohem (talk • contribs) 22:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: New file [[:File:Inigo Jones by Sir Anthony Van Dyck.jpg]]

message: According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography online:"The origin of the unusual forename shared by father and son remains a puzzle. It is not known to be Welsh, nor can it have been of direct Spanish origin, for the father, in spite of the assertion of the Dictionary of National Biography, seems not to have been a Catholic but to have conformed to the established church."
:: If I may, I know that Inigo is the Basque form of Ignatius, and the Basques were and are almost all Catholic. I agree it is extremely odd that they would have been given or taken those names in that time and place. Let's look at the facts re Inigo Jones (architect):
1) He was baptized at a church which would have been Anglican (St. Bartholomew the Less) when he was "received" into the church.
2) There is no evidence, even in the Catholic Dictionary, which is reflinked to the article,  of any Catholic devotionalism, activities, etc. on either his or his parents' part. Jones appeares to have been less Catholic than even John Donne, for goodness' sake.
Categories and article text updated accordingly.

message: I removed the Spanish/Basque version of his forename from the lead sentence (inserted anonymously on 20 March 2011). He had no known connection with the region and no one in fact writes his name that way. Andrew Dalby 14:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The Earl of Essex's article mentions that Inigo Jones designed part of the temporary monument erected for him at the time of his death (1646), if I am reading it correctly.
