Albert Freedman DYK
Hiya I've reviewed your submission at Template:Did you know nominations/Albert Freedman and requested catchier hooks. Please drop me a line when you have the time to respond, all the best Mujinga (talk) 22:00, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the review. I have been quite interested in the topic. If you have a hook suggestion I am open to it. I see the mistake in ATL0. Bruxton (talk) 22:05, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * What I do is to write down some hooks in different versions then read them out loud and see how they sound. As I said on the review I think adding some info about the Grand Jury should make for a catchy hook. Good luck! Mujinga (talk) 22:43, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Albert Freedman DYK suggestion
Hi, just saw that you were having trouble finding a catchy hook for Albert Freedman - I was looking through this article, and I have a suggestion along these lines:

... that after Albert Freedman was blacklisted from show business in the wake of the game show scandals of the 1950s, he went on to found a publishing company?

Let me know if that helps. MiasmaEternal ☎  07:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you much! You are right that I was stuck. I will use that as one of the hook proposals.

Cantilevered structures (buildings)
I don't know whether the following might help in regard to adding certain things to certain articles, but let's see if it does.

When I was a kid, my father, an architect, used to take time to explain to my sisters and me about materials, construction supporting stresses and tensioning stuff that pulled apart. And the effect of the elements. But the materials came first.

In his heyday, the 50s and 60s, the new materials were changing everything. It was the new materials which drove the new construction methods, and both materials and construction were all experimental at all times. Perhaps the most fascinating thing about his explanations was the concept of the ever-moving and ever-adjusting building, and the idea that a skyscraper had to be able to move to survive.

I saw that in action in the early 60s at Canterbury Cathedral, before they balanced the organ, when the bottomest organ stop sounded like an elephant farting, and its resonance which did not vibe with the nave's echo chamber cause the great crossing piers to move in the same way as the central core of a 60s international-style building would over time - those central crossing piers were almost, but not quite, whipping, with the top moving very visibly. And the cathedral did not fall.

That, in slow motion, as I had been given to understand it, was the primary function of the central core of the new tall buildings (before using it to support anything), and because the central core was not sectional like a cathedral pier, it was the material that counted.

So I think that at least some of those articles about mid-20th-century construction developments should make clear that the new materials were driving at least some of those new construction ideas. I'm just using the above story to explain stuff to you here, of course - but surely there must be citations for new materials driving new construction ideas in the mid-20th century? The RIBA mag was full of it. I'm not suggesting that you should agree with the above, or do anything about it - I'm just wondering what you think. Storye book (talk) 20:32, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. I think that a suspended structure may fair better during an earthquake. (earthquake-resistant) Perhaps because it can have some movement. Also perhaps from the material. High tensile steel, tapered concrete columns etc. I will need to research the materials. Thanks for your DYK work. I love looking forward to the section now.

Hello Bruxton,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username MPGuy2824, and I thank you for your contributions.

 * Hey thanks for the kind words and the message. I wanted to ask - could we do a redirect? Since the sources use the words "Temporary art" it may be helpful. Also I saw another vaguely similar article after reading your message here. Pop-up exhibition. Thanks again for the message!
