- SounderBruce, Thanks for expanding this article! I'm curious, do you have plans to GA nom? I hope so! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:04, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- I do plan to continue expansion and get this up to GAN eventually. The article will need split sections for architectural details and the history, as well as context and background around the actual construction in 1911. In the long run, the Curbed source will not be used (as it's borderline SPS and the author is not exactly reliable). SounderBruce 23:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Caps?
edit@SounderBruce: Thanks for your work on this article. You've clearly reviewed more sourcing than me, so I'm curious if you have a sense of whether this page and subject should be called "Pioneer Square Pergola" (as if this is an official name) or "Pioneer Square pergola" (more generic, mirroring Pioneer Square totem pole)? I was assuming the latter (lowercase), but if you disagree, I can move the page. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- The lowercase form is the correct one per WP:NCCAPS and a good chunk of sources, though it can be inconsistent. SounderBruce 02:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
"Iron Pergola"
editI should also note, National Register of Historic Places listings in Seattle lists "Iron Pergola". Should we add this as an alternative name to the article's introduction? ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:54, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- NRHP names (which are really descriptors) are usually pretty clunky. I'd only put them in the NRHP portion of an infobox. SounderBruce 02:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Category: Category:Historic district contributing properties in Washington (state)?
editDoes this article belong in Category:Historic district contributing properties in Washington (state)? I see the "U.S. Historic district contributing property" banner in the infobox. BTW, I noticed the pergola is mentioned twice at National Register of Historic Places listings in Seattle (once as Iron Pergola, and a second time with the Pioneer Building and totem pole) -- not sure if this should be mentioned in the prose. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:59, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
