Talk:Architecture of Norway/Archive 1

Deleting line
I'm deleting the line which says that Architecture in Norway is "over 9000" years old. Since it is not backed up by a citiation there is a good chance that it is a reference to the internet meme, and popular way of vandalizing pages "over 9000". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.61.205 (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Another Featured Article try?
Since the last featured article nomination, we have made lots of improvements to this article. What does everyone think about renominating it? --Leifern 15:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Please use Template:Cite book for book references, to ascertain uniformity.
 * In addition, please use Template:Cite web as often as possible, and mind WP:CITE. Punkmorten 07:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Are all the external links necessary?
 * Interesting comment, since you saw fit to insert -cf- template several places. --Leifern 01:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know any cf template. But when I said external links I meant just that, and not references. Punkmorten 07:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Could there be fewer redlinks especially towards the end? Jon Eikvar, Sven Erik Engebretsen, Knud Munk, Jan Inge Hovig, Roar Jacobsen and Ulf Zettersten - need we link to all these persons?
 * Why not? --Leifern 01:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know how notable they are, but many links in one place and none of them blue leads me to suspect some of them will never get articles. Punkmorten 07:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The picture Loft in Setesdal doesn't fit in the lead and should perhaps be removed. Or perhaps moved to the section Vernacular architecture.
 * Ehm, no. This is an example of architecture that is fairly unique to Norway. It fits perfectly in the lead --Leifern 01:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's out of context though. The lead doesn't meantion any lofts, how are people unfamiliar with the subject supposed to understand its purpose? Another concern is that it looks bad in juxtaposition with the Regional-arch template and the table of contents. Preferably, a text body should not be squeezed inbetween two boxes. Punkmorten 07:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The article says that "Hence, Renaissance architecture is almost non-existent in Norway" whereas the next paragraph describes examples of Renaissance architecture. Fix this contradiction please.
 * Actually, it's not a contradiction at all; but I made it more clear. --Leifern 01:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Sverre Fehn
It is curious to read an article about the architecture of Norway without even one mention to Sverre Fehn, probably the best-known Norwegian architect of all times (at least outside Norway), and the only one to ever be awarded the Pritzker Prize, considered to be the highest prize an architect can receive.

May I suggest that some information about him or at least some link is included in the article? 85.52.162.4 (talk) 18:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. --Leifern (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Good Article Nomination
Hello, I am Thelb4, and I am reviewing this article. One thing that's very clear to me before the article can be even a good article is that the images need to be sorted out, and maybe with some removed. I suggest a thorough reading of the Images section of the Manual of Style. Thelb 4 06:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Other suggestions I have are:
 * Consider splitting the 'Neo-classicism' section into its own article, leaving a few paragraphs (roughly the size of the Stave Church section) as well as a link to the main article. Also consider doing this for 'Romanticism and historicism'.
 * The TOC is too long. Consider merging some sections together.


 * I'll put the review on hold and give you a few days to sort it out; I may be back later with some more suggestions. Thelb 4  07:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this - as you'll see I've made quite a few changes in the images - deleted some, changed the formating for virtually all. I also shortened the sections you mentioned a bit, though perhaps not as much as you would have liked. I have also changed the depth of the TOC using, which makes it more manageable. --Leifern (talk) 18:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
