Help with Template:Infobox_architect

Hi TTKK -- we're working on an edit-a-thon for Architects Building Wiki, starting with architects in Detroit, Michigan. Would you be free for a quick call to help us navigate the infobox and some ideas? Les733 (talk) 18:38, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Vyborg Library

Hello, thanks for your information about the Vyborg Library. Your contributions are appreciated. This article was on my to-do list but I lacked data. I split your additions into a separate article, Vyborg Library, which you are welcome to check. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid it was me who got thing wrong. Looking at this picture, I assumed that it is the acoustical ceiling, which I've seen on an old photograph in his book. Or is it another ceiling, in fact? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Philosophers

Hey. Thanks for adding the philosophers section to List of Finns. I added a few more from the category, but it still seems heavily infested with redlinks, which is non-optimal considering how long the whole list has become. I also think Eeva-Liisa Manner might fit better to another section. Maybe you can clean it up a bit? Prolog 08:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. It sounds great to have a good list of Finnish philosophers there. Prolog 09:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:British people

Hi, well done on all your good work categorising articles. I just thought that I ought to point out there is no need to place articles in the Category:British people when they are also in one of the sub-categories: e.g. Michael Foot was in several sub-categories, and it is considered bad practice to duplicate categs in this way. (There are a few exceptions to this rule, but they are rare).

When you are categorising people, it is also a high priority to classify them by date of birth and death. Here are some examples:

Winston Churchill

• [[Category:1874 births|Churchill, Winston]]
  [[Category:1965 deaths|Churchill, Winston]]

Tony Blair

• [[Category:1953 births|Blair, Tony]]
  [[Category:Living people births|Blair, Tony]]

Aderk of Iberia

• [[Category:Year of birth missing|Aderk of Iberia]]
  [[Category:Year of death missing|Aderk of Iberia]]

Lord Lucan

• [[Category:Possibly living people births|Richard Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan]]

Hope this helps! --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 14:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:DYK

Did you know? was updated. On October 16, 2006, a fact from the article Vyborg Library, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Elia Zenghelis

In reply to your concerns on this article, the main issue is that it does not cite sources, nor does it really assert Zenghelis' notability. Koolhaas seems to be quite clearly notable, and many sources are cited for his notability outside of the corporation. Zenghelis, on the other hand, seems to be mainly only "notable by association", which would mean he'd fit better under the corporation's article. Seraphimblade 19:37, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Another architect bio?

Hello TTKK, how is everything? After seeing a pretty harsh talkpage comment by a new user at Talk:Peter Eisenman, I was wondering if you would like to work on improving that article. Seeing as how you recently did such a great job expanding the article about Kenneth Frampton and re-writing the one about Rem Koolhaas, I thought you might also consider working on and expanding the article about Peter Eisenman. Let me know what you think, you can discuss anything with me about this that you want or just start writing. I've seen good things from you and trust that you would do that well. Regards, DVD+ R/W 05:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all your hard work! Could you announce your new pages on Portal:Architecture/New article announcements? Thanks in advance, Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Nordic Classicism

Hi. It's great that you started the article, I nominated it on T:TDYK and hope to see it on Main Page soon. I plan to write something about Russian Neoclassicism of the 1910s when I have more time. I'd like to write an article about stripped classicism someday and illustrate it with an image of Peter Behrens's German Embassy in St. Petersburg. Don't know when I have leisure for all this, though. Best, Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:28, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! And I for one would definitely be interested in Russian Neoclassicm of the early 20th century, before Stalinism (I added a mention to Stalinst architecture of the "Soviet" embassy in Helsinki). I got in a mention of the more earlier St.Petersburg-Helsinki axis. greetings --TTKK 19:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Did you know?

On 21 November, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nordic Classicism, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Photos

It is in fact a bad idea to upload any free content to the English Wikipedia. This is the mistake I did on some of my photos before I registered at Wikimedia Commons. Uploading there is in fact no more difficult. (Getting the description template right the first time may take some time.) -- Petri Krohn 11:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

If the difficulty persists you may send them to me at yaroslavl dot gmail dot com. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks! I'll have another go this evening - and if it fails then, I'll send a couple to you - not wishing to overload anyone :) --TTKK 16:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC) Thanks Petri for the advice to persist! And thanks Ghirlandajo for your very kind offer. I finally managed to work out where I was going wrong; and have now uploaded my first few pictures; will soon start adding pictures to the articles I've written on various Finnish architects.

British Spelling in Alvar Aalto Article & Appropriate Place for Comments

First of all, I apologize for changing the spelling of neighbourhood. My browser pegged it as a questionable spelling when I was adding the link to Turku, so I changed that too. I have, by the way, changed it back myself. Secondly, I would appreciate it if you would restrict your comments to my discussion page rather than my user page in the future.

AfD nomination of Omnitopia

An article that you have been involved in editing, Omnitopia, has been listed by me for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omnitopia. Thank you.

Sami Rintala

A tag has been placed on Sami Rintala, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.Stellatomailing 03:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Reference footnotes

Hi TTKK, many thanks for your contributions. I know it was a while ago but I was just wondering if you could revisit your contributions to the architectural theory article and add footnote references for the information you added. See Wikipedia:Footnotes and Wikipedia:Citing sources for details on how to do this. The easiest way I know is to add <ref></ref> around the information about the book, only without typing the nowiki code. In the next month or two I will be expanding this article in an attempt to bring it to Wikipedia:Featured article status which, for all intents and purposes, requires some 5 or 6 footnotes per paragraph, and if you could add some reference footnotes to the text you added it would save me a lot of work, and I wouldn't have to rewrite much of what you added.D.

Use of shared accounts

Your user page says "TTKK is a contributor collective in Tampere, Finland. Their interests..." etc. You appear to be saying that the account is a joint one, used by a group of people. Probably you were not aware that joint accounts are contrary to Wikipedia policy: you can read more on this in Wikipedia's Username policy and in the FAQ on organizations. You are, of course, welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, but to do so you should each set up an individual account. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, based on the rules, I've done what is called a "soft block" of this account because it is clearly a shared account. You should each have your own account. If you reply on this talk page and ask to be unblocked because now only one person is using it and the password is only known to that one person, I will unblock this account. I'm doing this because you have invested time and effort in building the encyclopedia and have no doubt a good reputation among other users. I'll now leave a block template so as to make life easier on you when you are ready to be unblocked. Please stay on Wikipedia; your contributions are valued, but we have to play by the rules.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for having a shared account. If you believe this block is unjustified, or once the account is no longer shared, you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

I'm sorry if the language in that template seems harsh, but I'm using this one to allow you to use the unblock request without having to wait for me to be around. So you can either leave a message here or submit an unblock request. Good luck and again thanks for your contributions!--Wehwalt (talk) 12:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

' {{unblock|in fact only one user}} In fact there is only one person actually writing; Me! I put 'shared on my contributor description in acknowledgement of my work colleagues who have occasionally corrected my mistakes -- but they tell me if I've got something wrong, they can't be bothered to open a Wikipedia account themselves. I simply didn't want to take the credit!--TTKK (talk) 07:29, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Fence/Fencing

Thanks for your correction on Hurdle – it should of course have been Fence all along. Must be because I'm a farmer – fences always need mending, so I tend to think of a fence as a task not a thing!

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello TTKK! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Timo Airaksinen - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Speedy deletion nomination of Mack Scogin Merrill Elam

A tag has been placed on Mack Scogin Merrill Elam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andy (talk) 22:18, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Leila Haaparanta

The article Leila Haaparanta has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP on academic. No claim of contributions or discoveries, so unsuitable for an encyclopedia.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Abductive (reasoning) 16:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Alvar Aalto

First I want to thank you for adding and revising information on the article; however I am confused as to why you did a number of edits. First, the removal of any reference tends to defeat the idea of "referenced works". Understandably, there are times that references need to be removed for whatever reason. The removal of the Encyclopedia Britannica and some of the "Brown" referencing seems to not benefit the article. Secondly, changing the style of referencing ie removal of the <Group=nb> style to suit yours or others personal style or preference is contrary to the Wikipedia rules and etiquette. I am not trying to ruffle your feathers, as I do appreciate the work you have done, and I prefer to talk with you rather than just reverting things back to the way they were. Please consider changing some of these items back to the way they were. Obviously, incorrect information and bad references have no place here but, like I enumerated above, some of your changes should probably hot have occurred. Thanks speednat (talk) 20:43, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

In hindsight, I will re-add the references as there is no reason not to have references, even saturated as they were. Thanks speednat (talk) 20:58, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I am a specialist in Finnish architecture and also Aalto. Over the years I have contributed quite a bit to the Alvar Aalto page. References are indeed very important. And you will see that I am presently adding extra ones - but proper ones, not ones taken from a populist encyclopedia or tourist guidebook. The "references" added to quite a few of the names of Aalto buildings in the "Significant Buildings" section were utterly meaningless, and bear no correspondence between the reference and the list; it would be like sticking "Encyclopedia Britannica" next to every place name in Wikipedia. Over the next few days I hope to add far more references to the Aalto page. I am also presently adding masses of material to eh Architecture of Finland pages, with plenty of proper references.--TTKK (talk) 21:14, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I always start off trying to be nice; however it rarely seems to matter. It really is irrelevant whether you are an expert or Alvar Aalto himself as original research is not allowed therefore, it would still come down to sources. Something you need to understand is that Wikipedia works a specific way to allow others like me and other non-experts to edit. Your analogy is totally off base, as the references are not there to say the place exists (I assume that is what you are trying to impart), but that the work was done by Aalto and the dates involved. Why would that information not need to be referenced? I know I am not an expert on Finnish architecture or Aalto, but I do understand the proper way to reference things. Encyclopedia Britannica is considered a relevant and accurate reference; however with anything there may be mistakes that is why more than one source would be used. Please do not allow your pride to interfere with the proper way that the wiki works, and in case you don't realize how pompous you sound, your reply to me really makes you sound pompous and all-knowing, and key words like utterly meaningless, irrelevant, etc. are demeaning and insulting to those that take time to edit and improve the wiki. I also do not like when someone tells me to not do something that is totally acceptable to do, just because they (I am talking about you) feel their way is the only way. I always look at user's home pages to try to get a feel for the user that I have a difference of opinion with, and I had a sneaking suspicion that you were going to act exactly as you did. Please do not take me the wrong way, as I really do not want a confrontation; however I also will not put my tail between my legs and walk away just because you think you own the article. Cheers speednat (talk) 21:38, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

What "scholarly" reasons could you possibly have to remove relevant references?
