message: since the protection was instated that by the time the protection is lifted tomorrow, whomever was responsible has long since moved on to needlessly vandalizing other pages.  I guess we shall cross that bridge when we get there.  --Schaea (talk) 09:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The protection is no doubt in place due to Google increasing traffic (and vandalism) to this page today for Walter's 125th birthday.  He got a really good Google doodle. Wikipedia would look worse if half the people coming in to learn about Gropius saw blatant vandalism. Mr. Welsh (talk) 15:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I see the link to German architects as category, But since he was also a US citizen he was an American architect. Technically he was a US architect, though most US people still think of themselves as American. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brosi (talk • contribs) 03:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically he was a German-born architect who emigrated to England, then moved to the United States and became a citizen, continuing to work as an architect.  Whether he considered himself German or American is not a simple question, as with many of his fellow emigrants. --Fixifex 17:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. I deleted it, then someone added it again. I am deleting it again. Stop salivating over Google, people. A search engine mentioning someone's birthday is not notable. The person is notable, not the mention of him. CGameProgrammer (talk) 19:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hey, I was looking at this page since I'm doing a report on Walter Gropius, and I found something odd about it. It says that Walter Gropius was born in 1883, but then he married Alma Mahler at 1879? Please look into it, thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexilemon (talk • contribs) 11:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: 1879 was not their wedding date, it's HER birthdate. Notice it also lists a death date.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.111.56.48 (talk) 15:22, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The MILHIST tag has been removed because Walter Gropius doesn't meet the Notability guideline listed here. Although a notable person in real life the notability doesn't reflect in any action he took in his short military career. Please no further addition of the MILHIST tag.--MOLEY (talk) 22:09, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This section is highly misleading. Gropius stepped down from the position as director of the Bauhaus in 1928... Nowhere does it mention this. Adrianturcato (talk) 18:22, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

message: It's achronological, and kind of repeats itself. Like its some kind of blockbuster biographical movie that starts in medias res where the action is. Maybe this should be fixed? Just a humble art student's suggestion. 101.181.223.34 (talk) 18:15, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

message: According to the recent semi-fictional German TV mini series, Bauhaus Die Neue Zeit, Walter Gropius, while in the trenches of WW1, ordered that a telegram be sent to the Grand Duke of Saxony saying that he wanted to become the director of an art school. I can't find anything on the Internet to back this up. However, I am getting a strange deja vu that I learned something very similar to this two or three decades ago from reading something somewhere but I can't remember the source. Does anyone here know anything about this? Did this really happen? 188.31.124.143 (talk) 02:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
