message: Personal User Award: the Oak Leaf and Acorn Hex Sign
		The stylized leaves of the white oak in their fall colors on this Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign are a symbol of strength; acorns denote youth and great prospects.  This award is given as a courtesy for edits that strengthen and reinvigorate a Wikipage, even if they may not qualify for a particular Barnstar. Awarded to the Editors of Timber Framing for an interesting and informative, well illustrated article.  Even if it does not yet meet the formal standards for  Good Article or Featured Article this page in all its youth and vigor has bright prospects.ElijahBosley (talk ☞)  14:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

message: In the Canadian Tradition section the use of the "Colombage pierroté" is either archaic or regional, or both. The common term in use in Quebec is "construction à bois massif jointé". In other words, there really isn't much of a Canadian timberframing tradition that is any different from that of France or the British Isles.

message: "Home owners were taxed on their ground-floor square footage"
Interesting.  One question: where, in particular?  I would assume this law wasn't applicable to all countries (and it's conceivable that it was only in particular cities within a country).  A source of information on this would be helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Why Not A Duck (talk • contribs) 21:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I had a mind to include this photograph but am aware article is heavily laden with pictures. It seems like a good quality reasonably high definition image showing clear building features. Will leave regular editors to decide but thought it was worth flagging. Dick G 08:28, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know who you consider a "regular editor". It  is a beautiful photo and would be a nice change from some of the ones in the article that are very similar to each other. Mattisse 00:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Was just trying not to tread on the toes of any editors who might have an attachment to the article! Thanks for the feedback, image now added. Cheers Dick G 01:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Further image

message: From the text of the article: "Today, standardised timber sizing mean that timber framing can be treated incorporated into mass-production methods as per the joinery industry, especially where timber is cut by precision CNC machinery."
: Maybe "means that treated-timber framing can be incorporated"??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.83.57.87 (talk) 15:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Misc

message: ...points here, but the description of this very important topic is unhelpful if one does not know a fair amount about construction.  The most relevant section appears to be History and traditions, but from that text one cannot glean whether half-timbers must fully cover the surface of the structure, whether the cut face or uncut face of the half-timbers is exposed, etc.  A diagram might help.  I came here because today's Google doodle is about Richard Scarry, and that page has a half-timber link that points here.  If no one else does this I can do some research and take a shot, but I thought experts here might prefer to get it right.  -- Scray (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Half-timber construction 

message: An editor Fabartus jammed three superfluou pictures into the Introduction.  
The pictures were large, obstructive and had nothing to do with the Introduction even though they were closely related to the article itself. 
At least a dozen people have made significant contribution to the page since then. 
I implore you, as editors, not to let this type of disruptive editing occur!  If something is so Obviously in the wrong place, then be brave and delete or move it. 
There is almost certainly a section in the article where these pictures would be relevant.  I suggest that someone who watches this page reads the whole article through, deletes junk, and shoves all the pictures around so that the illustrate the sections that they are adjacent to.   
If someone does this, then they will almost certainly discover the right place for one or all of these pictures.  Amandajm (talk) 04:14, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Where are the watchers to this page?

message: I have been making some substantial revisions to timber framing. I am a new editor so I am still learning some basic things. I am being careful to leave original text. I intend on more revisions and clarifications and links in the future. I would like the editor who removed the link to the Timber Framers Guild to undo his/her edit. The Guild is an educational organization and is a significant resource for people interested in traditional timber framing. I am a life member of the Guild so I ask that someone else look objectively at this organization and determine if a link is appropriate. I have submitted a new article about the Guild to Wikipedia so you could wait until that article is accepted or rejected to form an opinion. There are other organizations I am considering mentioning in Timber framing like the National Frame Builders Association. I have hesitated to link to the related Wiki page Post-frame construction because there are quality issues with that page at this time.
By the way, in the images currently on this page: a bit and brace is not a tool used in traditional timber framing and is best left off this page. Also the depiction of the man using an adz is not using the tool in the common manner and is misleading so should be left off the page. Thanks for any feedback. 
I can answer many of the previous questions in this talk page, but not today. Jim Derby (talk) 18:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: major revisions of late

message: I nominated, and then withdrew, this article for Good Article recognition, because comments on my talk page persuaded me the nomination was premature.  I hope to revisit the nomination in a couple months, after editors have had a chance to do a little more work on it. ElijahBosley (talk ☞)  23:44, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I would like to contribute information about metal timber connectors which, during WWII, were referred to as the "Modern timber connector method of construction." These type of connectors include both split rings and shear plates. This topic could also be expanded to include more modern timber connectors such as proprietary brands such as Simpson Strong-Tie.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hab044 (talk • contribs) 22:08, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Modern timber connector method of construction": split rings and shear plates 

message: hI! It is an excellent essay! I learned a lot of knowledge form the timber framing. The organizer is great, the history and different type of timber framing are clearly shown the how is the timber framing change and improve. This essay has a very neutral attitude of explaining every kind of timber framing. Also, every timber framing has property explanation, but I think If appropriate with some analysis diagram that would help more reader to understand it. I learned a lot from the timber framing essay, the context inspired me to appeared in my article is more reasonable and logical.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ExxaZhan (talk • contribs) 22:28, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  review 

message: The subsection "Traditional or historic structures" contains this: 
 ... in such nations as Germany, where energy efficiency is highly regulated, the renovated building may be required to meet modern energy efficiencies, if it is to be used as a residential or commercial structure (museums and significant historic buildings have no semi-permanent habitade exempt).  
What's "habitade exempt"? A quick search of the Web finds mostly copies of the same sentence -- there is a common ancestor (which may well be this very article). Some sort of edit is needed. Oaklandguy (talk) 00:39, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
