Split
editThis was moved, without discussion, in 2008 from DOD Scotland to the current title. As DOD's were already well established elsewhere in the world, and we already had articles on them, it's hardly surprising this article has acquired information about DOD generally, which makes the Scottish section look distinctly out of place. If there are no objections I intend to split it out to a stand-alone article on DOD Scotland, and leave this title as a general article about the subject worldwide.

Doors Open vs. Open House Worldwide
editI was researching this for my own purposes, and came across Open House Worldwide: "Open House Worldwide is a network of 46 cities hosting festivals and dialogue about the built environment across the globe."[1]
Is Open House part of Doors Open? A separate set of events? I see that the Doors Open events are different cities than the Open House events. Are the Open House events independent, or are they a competing network? The basic idea appears to be the same, so does this distinction need to be made in the article? - Kzirkel (talk) 13:21, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Decent source on history
editThis is a decent Scottish source on the 1984 origin under Jack Lang in France and spread across Europe and beyond.--Pharos (talk) 21:06, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Very confusing timeline
editThe article claims that [t]he first Doors Open Day took place in France in 1984
in the first paragraph then, two paragraphs later, still in the lead, Open Doors Days trace their origin to the 1990 Door Open Day held
in Glasgow. Difficult to see how the first one took place in 1984 if the origin is in 1990. Not only that, but on the Main Page today (3 December, 2022), a DYK mentions a 1975 "open tube" event (pictured) at Waterlooplein station
with a link to this article, implying that they date all the way back to 1975. This is poor organisation or writing or something. Happy days ~ LindsayHello 00:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
