Talk:Hoffmann Architects

New Article
This is a recently added article for the architecture/engineering firm, Hoffmann Architects. Since this is my first complete article, I welcome all comments/suggestions/improvements/ideas. Hope to hear from you! --SenchaDragon (talk) 17:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I've carried out some 'wikifying' i.e. general housekeeping. There were generally far too many repeated wikilinks. Embedded links to external websites are generally frowned upon too. Overall I would say well done for a clearly written article with an abundance of inline citations.
 * Though it may be because of your personal enthusiasm for writing the article (or for the company), the article reads very much like a resum&eacute; for Hoffman Architects, with significant amounts sourced from the company website, promotional material etc. I've already removed the long list of name-dropping from the 'Services' section. Personally I would be inclined to remove the quote from the AIA Fellowship Nomination, because I'm not sure it is a published, accessible document. Flattering descriptions may be okay when taken from a widely published expert in the field, but not from someone's mate nominating them to join an association. Notable things should normally be mentioned on Wikipedia - I'm not sure all the company's projects are notable, maybe you should consider removing any that are sourced only to the practice's website, or are to non-notable buildings. Because you are a new member of WP and the Architecture Project, I've desisted from adding an 'advert' clean-up tag to the article, but my finger is itching! Sionk (talk) 08:26, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all of your help. I've removed the AIA Fellowship quote, as you suggested, and I pared down the list of projects. The "Publications" section had been removed by another user, which I think was probably a good idea. I've also added more citations for some of the projects. Thanks for the help with the internal links, too; I wasn't sure whether a link should be repeated or not within the body of a single article. I do agree with you that the text looks cleaner now with fewer links, yet it still functions well in relation to other articles. I really appreciate your time and effort in assisting me with creating a useful article. Now on to my next one! (I'm working on some material on curtain walls that I may add to that article.)  Thanks again. --SenchaDragon (talk) 13:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
