Talk:House with Chimaeras

message: Another comment, I am slightly confused by the use of "chimaera" and "chimera", two different spellings with two different meanings. Chimaera is used in the title and also elsewhere, when I am pretty sure Chimera (mythology) or better Chimera_%28disambiguation%29#In_art_and_architecture is what is intended. Some discussion of gargoyles would also be very useful in explaining these sculptures.  DVD+ R/W 21:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree, the link to Chimera (mythology) should be used in place of Chimaera]]. I will fix that right now. —dima/s-ko/ 21:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can we move the page to disambiguate the spelling to House with Chimera?  DVD+ R/W 21:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, google gives about 18,100 for House with Chimeras, and about 2,000 for House with Chimaeras so we should probably move it to House with Chimeras. I kind of like Chimaeras as the title (maybe b/c its a more fancy name), but I don't really mind what is the title. If you want, we can move it to House with Chimeras... —dima/s-ko/ 21:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Chimaera]] and [[Chimera]]

message: I have a one minor nitpick: the image description is slightly redundant, it currently reads: 
* The front façade of the House With Chimaeras, a major Art Nouveau building, in the historic Pechersk neighborhood.
The redundant parts are: 'a major Art Nouveau building, in the historic Pechersk neighborhood.' as these two items have both been mentioned in the lead of the article.
To make the image description non-redundant, i think it should read as follows:
* The front façade of the House With Chimaeras
It repeats no information which couldnt be gathered from the lead, and is therefore non-redundant. Thank you. Twenty Years 06:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also on a side note (i may have missed something here), in the image description it spells the word with with a capital W, when in the lead, and at the top of the infobox, it spells it with a lowe-case W, is there any special reason for this? Twenty Years 06:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

text: It's expected that everything in the lead is going to crop up again within the article, this doesn't make it redundant. The guidelines for captions state that the captions need to provide context and relevance.  I don't see the harm in the current description. Agree about the W though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by GeeJo (talk • contribs) 07:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The capitalized "W" was just a typo I made.. —dima/talk/ 20:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundancy 

message: In most respects this is a good article, but it is obvious that the main writer was not a native English speaker, as there were several examples of poorly chosen English words. I have tried to fix some of these, but it is hard to do so with confidence when there is room for doubt about a basic fact, ie whether or not this building was originally intended solely for residential use. The writer has done a good job, but if articles can get featured without basic English usage issues being resolved, the FA process is inadequate. Wimstead 10:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The writer claims he/she is "near-native," which I would think is good enough. Brutannica 17:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Very disappointed to see that this was featured

message: I notice that mention is made of the ornamentation being constructed of cement. Shouldn't concrete be the correct word? Ozdaren 22:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that you are right, we should use concrete instead of cement. However, all references I used for the article (, , ) use the Russian word цемент which translates as cement... —dima/talk/ 23:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I read the Russian cement article and it really comes down to a difference in language use. The difference being in English we make the distinction between concrete the finished product and cement a part of that product. So a literal translation is understandable but not 100%. My Russian is also not 100% (I should have attended all of those Uni lectures), do they have a word similar to concrete, perhaps beton? Ozdaren 01:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think that concrete should be used, since the article is intended for English speakers.Ceriy 16:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
