Talk:Victorian architecture

message: I don't think this should be a disambiguation page.  Victorian architecture includes many styles, but it seems as valid a term as Georgian architecture.  Besides, it is difficult, if not impossible, to tell which specific style it refers to when used in articles.  Indeed, would it even be a good idea to try?  I'm inclined to remove the  template. -- Flauto Dolce 01:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Why isn't this article a stub? This is an architectural style that spans over continents for more than a century and a half now, and continues to be avidly appreciated and talked about today. Its importance for various nations' architectural (therefore cultural) history can hardly be exaggerated. And yet I see so little information on it... --B. Jankuloski 02:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Thanks to  everyone who  responded to  last year's call  to  expand this article and give it a more international coverage. It's now looking a lot better,  but  could still  use more - IMO Victorian architecture is an important  subject  and is not  adequately  covered. With  just  a bit  more work, this article could probably  now be nominated for GA.--Kudpung (talk) 18:57, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Expansion & regional  bias

message: There is nothing distinctively "Victorian" about the photo of a Victorian-era slum.  Why is that included?  I suspect it is merely a present-day "social justice" campaigner trying to make their point about the economic discrepancies of Victorian society.  This article is about architecture, and not a platform for people to make Dickensian judgments - even if they are valid.  Unless someone can justify why that photo belongs in this article, I think it should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naymetayken (talk • contribs) 03:05, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should the generic slum photo be included? 

message: This section is referred to on other pages which refer to the reign of this Queen. I am visiting you last of all since I did not realize you existed but I found you quoted after I had added on other pages comments relating to the absence of any reference to the Royal Albert Hall. I find now that the same applies to this article and I therefore wish to quote here what I have said elsewhere as follows: 
(Quote)
I have not read the article throughout but a search using Ctrl-F reveals nothing about the Royal Albert Hall and I conclude therefore there is nothing about the architecture of Britain during the reign of this Queen? 
In fact it did of course effectively change very radically in a number of ways in particular as a result of industrialization. I do not here intend to be understood as referring simply to the creation of Victorian new towns but also to the fact that for the first time a majority of the population lived in urban areas and, within the countryside itself, there was a change in both England and Scotland so far as what previously had been common or shared land was concerned reflecting a simultaneous change in the form of agribusiness. 
I suggest architecture and the use of land (which latter continues at least in theory to be entirely the ultimate property of the monarch in accordance with the feudal system) was something with which Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were directly concerned, and the demonstration of this is I suggest the form given by them to Buckingham Palace and later presumably by the Queen herself to the Royal Albert Hall, these two being in fact related. The Royal Albert Hall clearly in turn related directly to industrialization in the particular form of the World Exhibition (later World's Fair). The significance of this in terms of policy and relationship to the two extraordinarily violent world wars which whether she and others had foreseen and feared it or not followed immediately after her reign (that of Queen Victoria) should not perhaps be underrated given the particular format, taken as a whole, of the wording of the frieze on the Royal Albert Hall (Uncle Jonathan, Walks in and Around London, 1895, 3 ed.)

Evidently it is this page which is in fact the most directly related.
