During 2011-2012, articles for most having 7 or more NRHP listings have been created. -- do ncr  am  12:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Older notes:
 * This is a list of ARCHITECTS AND/OR BUILDERS AND/OR ENGINEERS.
 * Top ones are men who served as head of the Office of the Supervising Architect, including Louis A. Simon, James A. Wetmore, James Knox Taylor, Oscar Wenderoth, who took credit for work of thousands of in-house real architects.
 * Only 2 architect or builder names entries are allowed per NRHP-listed item, so 3rd, 4th, etc. gets no credit in NRIS
 * Ranking of architects is so far imperfect, because it does not combine entries for punctuation and spelling variations (e.g. "Wright,Frank Lloyd" vs. "Wright, Frank Lloyd" differs only by a space). The ranking will be corrected in a later version here, after a better correspondence is created by editing on this page.
 * Help revising the wikilinks to provide a good correspondence, i.e. to identify good article names (or good redirects) to appear in NRHP articles, would be most appreciated! This correspondence will be used to provide a better ranking here, and in the NRHP batch-generation of articles (and possibly also in Elkman's system).
 * BTW, a comprehensive, complete report itemizing all works by any one architect could be provided to anyone upon request. --Doncram (talk) 23:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

ambiguities in NRIS
Ambiguities in NRIS credits that have been identified include:
 * There are numerous misspellings. These are noted here by comparison of NRIS-given exact name vs. name of wikipedia article that is linked.  For one example, Gideon Shyrock is the same person as Gideon Shryock; both spellings appear in NRIS.  This is not necessarily an error in NRIS data entry.  NRIS may be entirely accurate in reporting what is on the nomination forms, which themselves vary, and which may follow different local understandings.
 * For the most part, a person who is a professional architect serves as an "architect" on all NRHPs he or she is listed in the A/B/E field, and likewise a "builder" is always a builder. But there are many persons identified in the A/B/E field have served as A in some cases and B in other cases, or played both roles, especially in early, frontier locations and time periods.
 * John W. Ross in NRIS may refer either to John W. Ross (North Dakota architect) or to John W. Ross (Iowa architect)
 * Weldon Brothers in NRIS may refer either to Weldon Brothers Construction Company, bridge construction company of Iowa, or to George and Thomas Weldon, architects in Mississippi.
 * "John Marshall" in NRIS might refer to John Marshall (North Dakota architect) or to a Topeka, Kansas architect or to a Virginia architect.
 * Louis Long or Louis L. Long may refer to Louis L. Long (Maryland architect) (new) who worked during 1853-1860 or to Louis L. Long (Minnesota architect) (c.1870-1925).
 * 5 hits on "Watson,John" are scattered geographically; appears to be numerous different persons, e.g. local builder in Oregon of Free Methodist Church (Dayton, Oregon), probably no one being notable separately.


 * David Williams could refer to David L. Williams (architect) of Portland, Oregon, or to David Williams (Alaska architect) or to a couple other David Williams persons not getting Wikipedia articles.

who knew
Who knew that "Mills, Bailey" was not an architect, as indicated in NRHP infobox of one wikipedia NRHP article for two years, but rather was a building contractor firm, formerly "Bailey Brothers Planing Mill", later shortened to Bailey Mills. The error is not the fault of any one. Rather, the NRIS database and reports based upon it can be misleading. This and other examples motivates a big effort to create articles about all the most commonly named architects, builders, and engineers, and to sort out exactly what they are. -- do ncr  am  17:07, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
