An Update on you AMA Case
I got in touch with an admin, who was nice enough to undelete the page and move it to my userspace so I could look at it. It's located right now at User:Royalguard11/WLD. From what I can tell, the speedy tag was put on by an IP about 2 1/2 hours after you made the page. From my standpoint (and after asking another editor too), I believe that the page was deleted as a mistake after a speedy tag was put on it. Just make sure that you source the article with reliable sources. I think it would make a good article once it's done. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 18:45, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have a serious prob. I would like to include such important structures as the Taj Mahal, St. Paul's Cathedral or St. Peter's Cathedral, but going by the criteria (overall largest dome, largest dome by continent, largest dome by structure), I can't (because they have never been No.1 in one of these categories). How could I include these domes nonetheless without compromising the 'record structure' of the article? Gun Powder Ma 01:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Two more questions: 1. What's more fitting as a title: The world's largest or the world's widest dome, when the diameter is the criteria? 2. Half of my sources are other Wiki articles, and a fourth comes from strucuturae (the rest comes from scientific articles). How to refer to them - by posting links?

I think that you could include a secion such as "Famous Large Domes" for the ones that are well known, but not the largest. I think largest would be best title instead of widest because largest makes it sound better overall. For sources, you could footnote them using <ref></ref> tags. Although, you should try not to reference wikipedia articles, and they should themselves be referenced to an outside source. You could also include a general "reference" section at the end for general documents. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 23:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's done. I do not have more material. Well, almost done.
- What name should we give the article? 1. List of the world's largest domes 2. The world's largest domes
- The whole pic uploading copyright thing is confusing me. I want to load that pic up. Could you do it for me: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:K%C3%B6ln_st_gereon_kuppel_dekagon.jpg I already loaded it up here without tag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Oval_Cupola.of_the_Decagon_%28Completed_1227%29%2C_St._Gereon%27s_Basilica%2C_Cologne%2C_Germany.jpg
- I also want to load up two other pics from German Wiki:
- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Selimiye_Mosque%2C_Dome.jpg
- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Kuppel-Pantheon.JPG
- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Laterne.jpg
The image that you uploaded is actually available at Image:Köln st gereon kuppel dekagon.jpg, because the image is from Commons, and may be used on any wiki. The other images may be found at (after uploading them to commons with the correct tags and everything, which surprisingly isn't as easy as it sounds):
- Image:Selimiye Mosque, Dome.jpg
- Image:Kuppel-Pantheon.JPG
- Image:Laterne.jpg. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 04:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your support. The page can be launched now. Where is the champagner?! ;-) Regards Gun Powder Ma 10:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- It looks ready. If you want, move it to the mainspace under whatever name you think is best. Or if you want to I'll do it if you want me too. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 04:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Launched the page as World's largest domes. Thanks & regards. Gun Powder Ma 10:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
