Talk:Portuguese Romanesque architecture

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a subject that was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally and for lack of asserted importance, because there's no page yet written on wikipedia about Romanesque style of architecture in Portugal. Portugal has a huge number of monuments built on this particular historical period making a page with this info highly important for wikipedia users. I took the initial info for this page from the article "Architecture in Portugal", I will add the necessary links and citations to make the content of this article truthful and reliable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by PedroLopFonMarAlves (talk • contribs)

I agree. Deletion declined. Make sure that you adhere to the principles of Wikipedia, in this case write this article in your own words and rely on reliable references. I will watch this article for a while. JoJan (talk) 16:28, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

:While "deletion as madeup" is probably not appropriate, "deletion as copyright violation" is potentially appropriate. Whereever you got it from has either lifted large portions from Architecture_of_Portugal#Cathedrals_and_monasteries or that wikipedia page has significant copyright issues as well. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:44, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

If your source lifted from Wikipedia then it is unlikely to be a valid source. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:45, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@PedroLopFonMarAlves: when you take material from other Wikipedia articles, you must follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia to provide appropriate credit. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:48, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@PedroLopFonMarAlves: nice work on getting footnotes in place. Once you feel you have this article tied down, the next step would be to review the WP:LEAD section and rework as necessary to provide an overview of the full contents of the page, and then to be really helpful, per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE, take your newly revised lead that summarizes the contents of Portuguese Romanesque architecture and copy (with its sources and footnotes) it back to the Portuguese architecture article replacing the section on Romanesque period. Also with other material that you got from other articles, take your sourced version back. (when you back copy, you will also need to do the notification about copying from one wikipedia article to another one.) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:06, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

@Aka The Red Pen of Doom: Thanks for tip! I was thinking in how to update that as soon as I had this page more or less finished. Both the Portuguese architecture article (in English) and this sister-articled about Romanesque in the Portuguese version are much more incomplete than this will be.

Missing part of the sentence

In the Introduction, the sentence "The church of Paço de Sousa Monastery, Santa Maria de Airães and the Monastery of São Pedro de Ferreira, among others." is not complete. Please add the missing text. JoJan (talk) 14:24, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Sentence corrected. Thanks for the tip. PedroLopFonMarAlves (talk) 05:34, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
