Clumps? Clumps of what? Is that supposed to be 'clamps'? Can someone verify and correct it? StarChaser Tyger (talk) 10:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Near as I can tell it is, actually, "clumps". I think the implication is that the wear and tear over the years caused the floors to warp slightly and thus cause the nail-rubbing and associated sound, and whoever wrote the information sign just went with the word "clumps" (which is admittedly a bit of an odd choice to a native English-speaker).

Talk:Osborn Engineering

message: (The citation flag is one way to call attention to the problem. I'm not sure that source notes for particular listings are the solution.)
What was Osborn's role at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh? The Forbes infobox lists architect Charles Wellford Leavitt and structural engineer Nicola Building Company, rather than Osborn Engineering. What about the Polo Grounds, New York, whose infobox lists architect Henry B. Herts? 
"Osborn" does not appear anywhere in those two ballparks articles or the Leavitt article. Infoboxes do list architect Osborn Engineering for the other six of the first eight ballparks listed here, through 1915. I haven't cross checked any of the later ones.
Forbes opened during the 1909 baseball season. It is now the first ballpark listed here, since I have exchanged its place with League Park, Cleveland. That change follows our article on League Park which gives 1910 rather than 1909. --P64 (talk) 17:51, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Painted ladies

message: I believe the term "Painted Ladies" originated with the title of the 1978 book, "Painted Ladies: San Francisco's Resplendent Victorians", which I own a copy of.  I do not know if the book can be used as a source or reference point of the article.  If it can, the book's authors are Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen. Morley Baer is credited for the book's photographs.  The book was published by E.P. Dutton of New York, and its Library of Congress catalogue number is ISBN: 0-525-48244-X.
The authors went on to write and publish a series of books on American residential Victorian architecture under the Painted Ladies theme. That term has been used in the titles of the books. The books are like the original, featuring photographs of Victorian houses painted in polychrome colors across the United States and Canada. Among the titles are "Daughters of Painted Ladies: America's Resplendent Victorians" (ISBN: 0-525-48337-3) and "The Painted Ladies Revisited: San Francisco's Resplendent Victorians Inside and Out" (ISBN: 0-525-48508-2).
I know this book series, if it did not coin the term "Painted Ladies", helped popularized the term.
I also suggest that the article be merged with the article on Victorian houses.

Talk:Louvre Palace

message: Why does this article about a subject with no US connections whatsoever, use so many American spellings? It should be using French/ international spelling, i.e. centre, metre, not center, meter.Flubbergusted (talk) 09:53, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: French spellings are for French Wikipedia. This is English Wikipedia and we use English spellings. If an article is about a city, animal, plant, or person in the UK, then UK spelling is used; if it’s about something in Australia, then the Australian standard is used; if it’s in the U.S., then American spelling is used. But for most of the world (Europe, including France, Africa, Asia, etc.), we use the English variant that the first writer was using when a regional variation was detectable. It is explained in this article: WP:ENGVAR. —Stephen (talk) 10:20, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Park system

message: The page now more descriptively discusses what this term is! This is especially true because the first paragraph is much more fleshed out now. 
However, I was wondering if the term  'patch and corridor' can be defined more explicitly in the article. I know that the article discusses what this term is, but someone unfamiliar with the topic may be confused by this term. Additionally, can some text be moved to specific sub-sections? I know that a lot of the information currently present on the page describes historical examples, which may not be suitable to be placed in another section alone. If you do find more relevant information, perhaps more sections can be made to place that information into. Ekcy (talk) 17:54, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Pension (lodging)

message: Boy, are y'all screwed up on this one. First, a pension is a regular payment to a person that is intended to allow them to subsist without working.
The word for lodging is pensione.  Even if the word is anglicized to "pension" it certainly is NOT within the scope of architecture. Read the definition for heaven's sake.Dangnad (talk) 22:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: "This is NOT architecture-related and the correct spelling is pensione, see talk."
From what I can gather off dictionary sites, the correct spelling in English is pension not pensione (regardless, pensione links to this article). I agree with this not being architecture related.Danshil (talk) 23:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree with the proposed merger (and a note that pension etc. is the word in some langauges for B&B). Doremo (talk) 19:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

text: I do not agree. I lived in Europe, and stayed in pensiones, and they are not the same thing as bed-and-breakfasts. They are only the same in that you get breakfast with your lodging, and in that they can be family owned. These are trivial matters compared to what it feels like to stay in a pensione verses a bed-and-breakfast. A pensione can look like a hotel. For all intents and purposes, it is a small European hotel. It rarely has a concierge (I never encountered a pensione with one), and the staff usually includes the owners. But the big difference is the "feel" of the pensione. They have a more intimate and personal feel than typical hotels, but are not like staying in a bed-and-breakfast, which is more home-like. Pensione are a distinctly European phenomenon. Let's allow some differences to continue to exist! Bkirchoff (talk) 12:21, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  A pension is most certainly not the same as a bed & breakfast. The main difference is that while the only meal that bed & breakfasts offer is breakfast, pensions — at the request of their guests — also serve dinner (half pension) and even lunch (full pension). I therefore oppose the merger. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 16:57, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Paling fence

message: The article says that the vertical "boards with pointed tops are called 'pickets' for their resemblance to the pointed stakes historically used by infantry to repel cavalry", with a citation needed tag. That is one explanation. Another explanation is that "picket" refers to a pointed stick or stake, but it's the point on the bottom driven into the ground, not the point on the top. Nowadays, the verticals are typically not driven into the ground, because it's less work and because it helps protect the verticals from rot. Also nowadays, the verticals are often not pointed at the top or the bottom. Perhaps originally, each individual stake was driven into the ground. It would be easier to drive a stake into the ground if the top is flat. Some authority, or perhaps pictures of picket fences from long ago, can help determine if the etymology relates to a sharpened point on the bottom, or a sharpened point on the top. —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
