Talk:Rococo architecture

Copyedit
Good day,

I came across this article when reading articles related to Rocco, specifically Neoclassicism.

During my copyediting so far, I’ve come across the following questions/points I’d like clarified, and will be adding to the list as I go along:

 * Article lede:
 * What are the ? Could this be expanded on and wikilinked to the Classical architecture of classical antiquity?


 * Hey Le Prince De Conde, I’m just adding you here as you were paramount in creating the article. Any chance you could review my copyedits? waddie96 ★ (talk) 16:11, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello waddie96,
 * The other classical elements I was referring to were the acanthus leaves, cupids, putti, and figures of Greek and Roman deities described in the following section. Wikilinks could presumably be helpful.
 * While it would be outside my field of competence to try to speak to the formatting of the edits, I did notice a few changes to the content of the article that might contrast with wikipedia policies.
 * Possible examples of peacock terms and weasel words:
 * "reflecting Rococo's enduring impact on architectural design trends" (essay style versus letting the impacts speak for themselves)
 * "Many of these architectural masterpieces have been preserved and now serve as historic house museums" (subjective)
 * "Together with decorative arts, furniture, and other interior elements, these features contributed to the overarching theme of opulent interior ornamentation" (sounds like an argumentative essay thesis versus passive wikipedia style)
 * NPOV: Normative: "Ceremonial and significant spaces like ... to other important rooms" (presumes the functional spaces were less important than the ceremonial spaces)
 * m: spacing: severalformal and informal gardens > several formal and informal gardens
 * Thank you for improving the article,

 * Yes, I agree it’s weasel and puffery, and would appreciate if you could help remove and improve with this. As this topic is outside my field of knowledge completely, so all I can help with is restructuring/grammar/layout/copyediting; as done so far.
 * Collaboration on this together I’d appreciate! waddie96 ★ (talk) 16:00, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * So @Le Prince De Conde, feel free to WP:BE BOLD and edit too :-). Thanks, waddie96 ★ (talk) 16:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
