Talk:The One Where Joey Speaks French

message: Note: There's already a zillion pages of TV serie episodes on wikipedia, not that I agree they should be there but there's a precedent, and friends is one of the more notable TV series. Equendil Talk 17:26, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In a strict sense, this doesn't meet WP:FICT, and the article creator didn't even identify what show it was from.  Well-written fancruft can often get into Wikipedia, but if the article creates cleanup work for others and doesn't really qualify, it's easier to flush it. The article creator has a chance to clean it up, cite it properly, categorize it, and link it into the Friends universe. If there's not enough fan interest to do that before the "prod" runs out, it may as well go.  --John Nagle 17:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Site planning

message: American urban planner Kevin Lynch wrote the book on Site planning. It is required reading for the Architect Registration Examination for license to practice. The book has an article on Site selection, page 64-65 (ibid.) or see "site selection" in the index to the book. 
Quote:
"It sometimes happens and should happen more often that the site is not yet selected before a designer is called in.... Although site selection and "best use" analysis are somewhat less common than the analysis of a given site for a given purpose, site designers always engage to some degree in both of these modes of thinking, or at least they should do so. That is, they must be prepared to advise a client that his chosen site is (mistaken or) inadequate for his purpose and that he must seek a new one... While advice of this kind may terminate the designer's employment still it is his responsibility.(See page 64-65) " 
{{cite web|title=Site planning - Kevin Lynch |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=arS3vn6DfYIC&pg=PA29&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=arS3vn6DfYIC&pg=PA29&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false (see page 64-65)
Since architects are responsible for coordinating the total building process and site selection is the first step, whoever controls site selection is architect by default; Government planning agencies have largely assumed the site selection function but the law of orderly development is still being ignored overall resulting in the helter-skelter haphazard growth of cities seen all around us bringing confusion and disorder throughout. A comprehensive regional master plan is needed Nationwide - each regional plan must be compatible to the adjoining region and the whole must be compatible with our system of government as prescribed by law. Attention of County Commissioners to layout of roads is fundamental as this tends to dictate the pattern of future development. See: http://www.geocities.ws/douglas36601/background.html

Talk:Sasanian architecture

message: passages like this:
"Such are the main peculiarities of Sassanid palace architecture. The general effect of the great halls is grand, though scarcely beautiful; and, in the best specimens, the entire palace has an air of simple severity which is striking and dignified. The internal arrangements do not appear to be very convenient. Too much is sacrificed to regularity; and the opening of each room into its neighbor must, one would think, have been unsatisfactory. Still, the edifices are regarded as "indicating considerable originality and power," though they "point to a state of society when attention to security hardly allowed the architect the free exercise of the more delicate ornaments of his art"."   
read more like a critical review than an encyclopedia article. I also wonder about copyright violations. --Rajah 04:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep. The article is to a great extent copied from Volume 7 of Rawlinson's "The Seven Great Monarchies". However,... the work is copyright 1902, and Rawlinson died the same year, so I suppose the author wasn't violating any copyrights with his copy-'n-paste. -- Fullstop 09:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Folks,
What is referred to as "Sassanid architecture" is actually an extension of the "Parthian style" architecture. In other words, the article seems to confuse Sassanid era architecture with Sassanid architecture (which in reality is nothing but "Parthian architecture"). Almost every editor on WP seems to be unaware of the distinction.--Zereshk 08:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ruins

message: This article includes the following:

I don't think this is true.  Destroyed cities of certain sizes leave ruins in Civilization 3 and 4, but exploring them does nothing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.21.161.34 (talk) 21:01, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The phrase "human-made" seems like an error in the definition of ruins, as e.g. remains of cities on alien planets are also called ruins and were not made by humans. Deleting the word "human-made" would give a robust and universal definition of ruins.

Poverty is in the eye of the beholder (I'd imagine that Comas does look prosperous to the average llama herder out in the middle of nowhere in the Andes), but I think that it's safe to say that the vast majority of English-speaking wikipedia readers would find Comas and Villa El Salvador to be totally improverished. --Descendall (talk) 21:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Proportion (architecture)

message: Design by the use of architectural proportion differs from space planning using benchmarks for the sizes of spaces. In modern architecture proportions are of little interest so long as there is enough room for a given function in a given space. Many Cad programs use blocks or objects which have the modulor sizes manufacturers have determined best suit their production. These differ depending on whether the materials have structural constraints or are designed for a particulor function. For example: Pre built cabinets generally have standard dimensions based on a 3" modulor. The spacing of joists for modulor 8' plywood is based on even divisions of a sheet. Ceiling tiles are generally based on a 2'x2' modulor and floor tiles a 1'x1' modular.
What would be different if they were based on on non modulor architectual proportions such as those found in the Greek Orders of Architecture and Medieval cathedrals is more dependence of curves and sections of curves that have harmonic relationships with other elements and break down to a human scale.Rktect 15:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Design using proportion 

message: This article has good material, but in style and format it does not conform to WP:MOS in many respects. It lacks a lead sentence that defines the topic of the article in its context. Much of what is in the lead section is disorganized, and much of its material belongs under appropriate headings. There are insufficient wikilinks, specially in the lead section. Also, the article must, first and foremost, address the needs of the general reader. For example, many readers will not know who Vitruvius (who must be linked in the lead!) is or when he worked. The citations need reworking to conform to WP:CITE. The use of "hard" (as opposed to automatically) numbered references is unacceptable, as it makes it too difficult for editors to add a reference? Also, the use of stray numbers throughout the text to refer to the numbered references does not conform to Wikipedia style, and more importantly may not be understood by the general reader. There are also many statements of opinion or conclusions that lack source citations. Finell (Talk) 21:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the helpful style references, that was a much better solution than reverting. I added a lead sentence (Though I wish the name of the article was something more along the lines of Architectural proportions) added some wikilinks; and replaced the hard numbers with a reflist but I still don't know how to get them to go directly to the numbered list of books and pages cited. In terms of making it better organized, I'd like to see it give more examples of how proportion was used in antiquity and more on why the use of proportiion has been almost entirely replaced with the use of modulors.Rktect 10:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
