La Sagrada Família
Hi again, Amandajm,

I found some beautiful bibliography in Spanish and Catalan that may be very useful in your struggle with the La Sagrada Família entry. As soon as I have time, I'll select the relevant passages, translate and edit them, and submit them to you for approval.

Academic regalia of Stanford University
Thanks a lot for your message on my talk page regarding Academic regalia of Stanford University. I'm sorry you think that I did such a poor job on the introduction. It may just be a difference in style, but I read my work over again and am still pretty pleased with it. Apparently, my editing is just not "proper." The beauty of Wikipedia, however, is that anyone can edit articles. If you think that the introduction is poor, please feel free to give it a once over. Have a great evening.--dave-- 03:33, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Roman(esque)
I added the original French material from which the adjective "roman(esque)" is coming. It makes two things clearer imho: the link with Romance languages and how negative Romanesque architecture was perceived in the 19th century. French archeologists describe it (literally) as a degenerated Roman architecture. Feel free to improve my English translation. Hope this contribute to your Magnum Opus ;-) Take care --Alberto Fernandez Fernandez (talk) 17:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. When you recently edited Romanesque architecture, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Châlons (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

French abbeys
Hi!, Re "Amandajm (talk | contribs) moved page Talk:Mozac Abbey to Talk:Abbey of Saint-Pierre, Mozac ‎(I left out the comma)" etc. It's not at all clear that this is the standard way, and I don't think it should be. Few towns have two or more abbeys, & the dedication of few abbeys is commonly known or used. A few years ago all the French Cathedral names had the full dedication, which was horrible, and entirely against WP:COMMONNAME, & heroicly changed by someone. I think some of the Italian ones still do - I remember a long discussion at Florence Cathedral - once hidden under Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore!) some years back. I think there should be a discussion, notified to some projects, before more are done. Johnbod (talk) 21:43, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * But I totally agree re San Michele Maggiore, Pavia! Johnbod (talk) 22:13, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (TPS) Is this one on the list too? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:27, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia, sites that copy wiki, and some tourist material are the only sites that seem to refer to it as "Bec Abbey". It is generally referred to as "the Abbey of Notre-Dame du Bec" or the "Abbey of Notre dame of Bec-Heloin".
 * Which others do you suggest?

Amandajm (talk) 07:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Surely, the most appropriate name would be a good translation of the name used by it's home page in fr.wiki: ? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:50, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

St Denis west facade rose window
Hi Amanda, re the comment accompanying your edit to Basilica of St Denis (Revision as of 02:22, 8 July 2012) " Removed the sentence, in order to check whether the window (tracery) was destroyed, or only the glass" - it was the whole window, not just the glass. As one would expect from the date of construction, the original had plate tracery. The 19th century replacement has bar tracery, used in a particularly delicate style that didn't appear until the late 13th C. Pretty but anachronistic. StuartLondon (talk) 07:08, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
