Talk:John Douglas (English architect)

message: #The article should make use of sections.
#Images would be helpful - the architect if possible and some of his works.
#References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.) Peter I. Vardy 17:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

*"and practised throughout his career in Chester, Cheshire": this sounds like he practiced only in Cheshire, how about saying he was based in Chester instead?
**I have added "from an office" and hope that this is OK. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Spoken version added

message: The net change from the article's day in the sun doesn't appear to be much. There are a few more links and some minor formatting changes, but overall I think the article emerged intact. Opinions? Nev1 (talk) 23:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose I am naive (I am certainly a novice at TFA) so perhaps I did not expect much harm to be done - it is, after all a pretty uncontroversial ("safe") subject.  There was quite a bit of vandalism during the day, but the vandal watchers (including Nev1) did a splendid job, almost always beating me to the reversion. As for the changes. they're all minor; a bit of overlinking; n-dash replaced by – (which I would have done if I were writing the article today); s' -> s's, (which is merely a matter of style, and both are acceptable in the MoS, as I told the editor who did it).  I also enjoyed a day of glory for the Cheshire Wikiproject - and early risers will have seen a Cheshire article as the "top" (with image) item in DYK - Sir Thomas Grosvenor, 3rd Baronet at the same time!  Now to get Norton Priory to FA!--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you noticed that a translation of the article was a DYK article on the German WP on sunday (and still is today, since we've a batch of two a day and they remain two days). --Matthiasb (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's only usually controversial articles that are damaghed by TFA, but sometimes the rate of vandalism on an article can mean that some changes slip through the net so it's a good idea to check at the end of the day. That's how I noticed someone had changed Douglas' middle name to Carter. Certainly a good day for WP:CHES with over 15,000 views over 4days (the counter seems to have not been working for two of them) and a noticeable spike of interest in Cheshire. Also good to know that it made DYK on the German Wikipedia. Nev1 (talk) 13:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Peter, happened to have this to hand for something else, so added it as a source, and as two cites. Hope I've followed the style used and that it works for you. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 07:52, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That's great.  Many thanks. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 13:50, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
