Talk:Bishop's Waltham

message: Is there any consensus on the apostrophe? I note that the Parish Council website uses both spellings on the same page.
With respect, I am hoping for an authoritative (backed up by a good source) view. Thanks. Afterbrunel (talk) 19:24, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ordnance Survey uses the apostrophe. I'd regard that as pretty definitive. See the appropriate Landranger map. Confusingly though, the junior school doesn't, confirmed by Google Street View. Make of that what you will. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 20:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Bishop's Waltham, as with other places and names that use an apostrophe, are increasingly dropping the apostrophe as part of the trend away from the possessive. As such there is no definitive or authoritative statement on the Bishops Waltham name. Most businesses in the town don't use the apostrophe any more, and road signs will vary. Eventually all contemporary uses of the name will be without the apostrophe, though we are not quite there yet. Sources used in the article vary, and without a more consistent or weighted use of the non-apostrophe name, then moving the title from the status quo would be frowned on. It can be quite time-consuming putting together sufficient evidence of a preponderance of one use of a name over another, especially when sources such as the local council and the BBC use both versions of the name, however, if someone wants to do it, a page move request can be made. Meanwhile, I'll just put a note in the lead that "Bishops Waltham" is also used. SilkTork (talk) 00:33, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Kurushima Kaikyō Bridge

message: This article has a good start and can be even better. See: Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge as an example. Enfermero (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

message: There shouldn't be a hyphen in the article / bridge name, as "Kurushima Kaikyō" refers to the single geographical feature that the bridge crosses (see, e.g., the Japanese-space article on Kurushima Kaikyō: 来島海峡). "Kaikyō" translates to "strait", so "Kurushima Kaikyō" just means "Kurushima Strait" (noting that "Kurushima Kaikyō" is typically referred to in English as "Strait of Kurushima"). Typically, a hyphen is only inserted when indicating that the bridge name refers to the two distinct geographical places that the bridge connects. If there are no objections, I'll move the page at a later time. -SesameballTalk 09:33, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

message: It remains unclear whether Hilda Hongell really was Finland's first female architect. According to the book "Pioneering Women Architects from Finland" (Museum of Finnish Architecture) 1983, the first woman to qualify in Finland was Signe Hornborg, who qualified in 1890, one year before Hongell.

message: The "Villa Paradou" was added to this article as having been built by Charles Garnier. It does not appear to be mentioned in the 2003 biography of Garnier by Leniaud and Bouvier . I have removed it until an independent, reliable source for this attribution can be provided. --Robert.Allen (talk) 09:35, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Dreamworlds has informed me that he obtained this information from de:Henri Chrétien. The information on the Villa Paradou was added to that article with this edit on 3 April 2009 by de:Benutzer:Tresjolie. Unfortunately a valid verifiable source for the information was not added, and the user is no longer active, so we probably will not be able to ask them whether they know of one. I searched Google Books, which turned up Dreamworlds: The Making of a Room with Illusionary Painting ... by Rainer Maria Latzke, which is held by very few libraries (listings at WorldCat). Note also that Latzke is the owner of the house, so it is not a source that is independent of the subject, i.e., there is a potential conflict of interest. We need an independent, verifiable source for the attribution. Perhaps "Paradou" is not the only name for the villa. I also checked Christopher Curtis Mead's 1991 book Charles Garnier's Paris Opéra (), which includes "Appendix Three: Garnier's Architectural Works Apart from the Paris Opera". The only  villas he lists are the Villas Garnier and Bischoffsheim in Bordighera and the Villa Sarcey in Rosendaël. In the section on the Nice Observatory,  "Villa Paradou" is not mentioned. A "Pavillon du Concierge" is, but that doesn't sound like a villa to me. --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I propose to split this article up. I will give ten days for discussions, objections etc. before (if agreed) carrying out the edits. The present title of the article is confusing, in my opinion, as it is a family name rather than that of an individual. Jacques Androuet du Cerceau the Elder is a highly significant figure, most certainly deserving his own article. I have also come across Baptiste in at least three contexts. I will check out the other two as well. At the present, the link to this page is unhelpful, since the names of these men are so similar.

Talk:Pierre Contant d'Ivry

message: Re: :Image:DSC00652 conseil etat.jpg. Braham (1980, p. 50) gives Contant d'Ivry credit for the garden facade (on the Cour d'Honneur) and the "famous staircase" (escalier d'honneur) and the interiors in the Rue de Valois wing. He attributes the Cour de l'Horlogue facade and the facades on the Rue St. Honoré (including the opera house) to Moreau (p. 106), while the Blue Guide Paris (2007, p. 249) attributes these to "Constant d'Ivry" and fails to mention Moreau. Ayers (2004, pp. 47–48) essentially agrees with Braham, but also adds that Contant d'Ivry is responsible for the design of the avant corps across from the Place de Valois. (This was recently refurbished and is again visible.) Based on Braham and Ayers I am removing the picture of the Rue St. Honoré facade and adding the picture of avant corps facade on the Rue de Valois .
