User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

List of architecure awards
Would some members of this WikiProject mind taking a look at List of architecture awards and assessing it for WP:Namechecking and WP:LISTCRUFT. It's not clear what the WP:LSC are for the list are other than the entry be an architecture award of some type, broadly contrued. Perhaps, the awards should be limited to those which are considered notable enough to have Wikipedia articles written about them per WP:CSC; in other words, an article about the award already exists (even in a some other language Wikipedia) or one could exist per WP:REDYES. List articles like this often end up have lots of entries added over time that might be minor compared to others and thus they probably need not be mentioned. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:06, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Does the term Al-Aqsa Mosque need disambiguation?
Please comment at Talk:Al-Aqsa Mosque - we are in need of editors who have the time to review the sources. Our Al-Aqsa Mosque article is about the small building. The large compound, also known as Al-Aqsa Mosque, is our article Temple Mount.

For reference:
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) is the third holiest site in Islam
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) was the first qibla in Islam
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) gave its name to the Al Aqsa Intifada, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) can hold over 300,000 people (note: the small building can hold only 5,000)
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) was recently in the news after clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians: the location of the route is shown here
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (building) is an important monument of early Islamic architecture
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (building) houses the Imam of the Al Aqsa Mosque
 * Al Aqsa Mosque (building) is where the Islamic prayers are led from

Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, what matters most is whether it is highly likely — much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined — to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. It is also important to assess how the term is used amongst scholarly sources - an assessment of this has been provided at the discussion, and it would be good to have it confirmed by editors who have the time to review the sources themselves.

Thank you.

Requesting Help for my Draft
Hello Architecture WikiProject! Unfortunately, my draft was declined for submission. In the improvement section, it says to reach out to a relevant wikiproject for some feedback before resubmitting for review. My draft is Draft:Victor F. “Trey” Trahan III, FAIA. I have been working on editing other pages to get the hang of wiki, and this is my first article. I have over 30 independent sources and looking back, I can agree with the reviewer that it reads somewhat like a CV. I am wondering if anyone would be willing to take a look and give me feedback so I can rewrite the draft before resubmitting it.I will take any and all suggestions. I am very determined to work on my writing and make it more encyclopedic-like. Thank you again!!! Architect110402 (talk) 13:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

List of Art Deco architecture in the United States
While working on the copy editor drive, I cam across List of Art Deco architecture in the United States. I don't mind working on standardizing its format, but I need some feedback. This is a really long list! It is not in tables and is, therefore, not sortable. This is causing duplicate entries. For example, items are both listed under generic California and the "Los Angles and vicinity" sections. I know tables are the solution but before I go to that major effort, I a have a question. is there a reason for this article to manually created? Could it also be created and automatically sorted using the Art Deco category? Or should I move forward on the massive project of converting the list to tables? Rublamb (talk) 16:55, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Rublamb, Manual of Style/Lists has some brief guidance. Lists should be referenced and are usually in title and bullet style. I would say that there is little point in copy editing the list as it is unreferenced . TSventon (talk) 09:42, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Citations are another issue with this article for sure. Most of the sources given are for database-type websites, rather than then specific articles within the database. As in, we are supposed to believe that the entire list for buildings in NC came from the NCSU database. Same with New York City, etc. It the group thinks this article is of value, I would be willing to work on the needed citations over time. I am also willing to be vicious and delete all buildings that lack proof of notability (as in no Wikipedia article) and no source.
 * As to bulleted list vs. table, as you said, there is limited information in the Manual of Style. I was introduced to dynamic tables instead of bulleted lists in another WP Project that I work with as that is their preference for stand alone lists of notable people (and is supposed to be an upcoming guideline for Wikipedia in general). I have started using tables for project lists within biographies of architects because tables allow the reader to sort the list by project name, date, city, etc. I just wondered if this concept had been introduced to this WP group yet as I have fairly new here.

Snow cave
Snow cave was created way back in 2005, but it never seems to have really been assessed since that time.

Would some members of this WikiProject mind taking a look at the article and assessing it? A fair amount of unsupported content was additionally added to the article earlier today by an IP, but even prior to those edits there was quite a bit unsupported content.

 * Unusual PROD rationale but I can't say I disagree with the general sentiment. Newspapers.com for instance has many hits for this, but limited to adverts of concerts or events being held there, none of which seem to demonstrate WP:SIGCOV or even close. Of course that isn't to say that won't exist elsewhere, but as it stands the article is only cited with WP:PRIMARY refs so the PROD isn't unreasonable.

 * I worked on it a bit, adding info on his education and early projects. Someone else must have added his legal problems, but I expanded. A general copy edit and reorganization of text made a big difference. I found a reference (used elsewhere in the article) that indicates he was not known at all in architectural circles in Russia. However, I did not include this as I could not determine if that is factual, or another way of saying he worked under the table for those with criminal connections. I did find that he could not legally sign off on his own projects because his Italian degree was not accepted in Russia--this is now in the article. Rublamb (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Al-Aqsa Mosque compound
I have taken the long overdue step of creating an Al-Aqsa Mosque compound page to encompass the full architectural history of Al-Aqsa all in one place. This was not done previously, with there being separate articles for the Dome of the Rock, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Minarets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, etc., but no single page drawing them all together historically and architecturally. The temple mount page provides some architectural overview, but it is so bound up in narrating the full history of the site and is substructure (so much so that it uses the 'mountain' infobox template, not the 'religious building' one) that it has never done full credit to the actual superstructure. Now there is a page that ties it all together. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:08, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings


The article The Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "lack of notability - search for independent sources has only revealed those confusing it with SPAB a similarly named but different organisation"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Susan Kozma-Orlay
I've published a stub about the Hungarian–Australian designer Susan Kozma-Orlay in the context of Wikiprojects WP:DESIGN and WP:WIR. I also included WP:ARCH in the banner shell (as Kozma-Orlay is tangentially related to this project), but more to the point, her father was the Hungarian architect Lajos Kozma (d:Q1120648). Kozma is already covered on several other language wikis, and his work is clearly notable, so I though that he may be of interest here (see: image 1, image 2, and image 3 for reference). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:42, 25 August 2023 (UTC)


 * While I don't think Susan Kozma-Orlay's article would fall under this project's purview, her father seems like he may be worthy of an article. Thank you for bringing this to our attention @Cl3phact0! SSR07 (talk) 03:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Peer review request for American Bank Note Company Printing Plant
This is a fascinating building in the South Bronx, designated a New York City landmark. Built in 1909, this was an industrial printing plant on the cutting edge of modern (for the day) technology. The neighborhood suffered from urban decay in the latter part of the 20th century, during which period this building also outlived its original use. This building has been renovated and repurposed as commercial space, taking advantage of the high ceilings and abundant natural lighting inherent in its original design as a printing plant, and has served as an anchor point for the revitalization of the area. I'm trying to get it into shape for WP:FAC and would appreciate input from Wikiproject Architecture. Review page is Peer review/American Bank Note Company Printing Plant/archive2.

Portal Fernandez Concha
Hello Members of WikiProject Architecture, I hope this message finds you all well and thriving in your contributions to the architectural heritage on Wikipedia. I am reaching out to seek your valuable expertise and assistance in enhancing the article for Portal Fernández Concha, a notable architectural landmark with significant historical and cultural importance.

The Portal Fernández Concha, with its rich history and architectural uniqueness, presents an opportunity to enrich Wikipedia's repository of architectural knowledge. However, the current article faces several challenges, including ensuring accuracy in historical context, architectural detail, and balancing content to meet Wikipedia's standards for neutrality and verifiability.

Here are some areas where your expertise would be invaluable:


 * Historical Accuracy and Context: Ensuring the historical narrative of Portal Fernández Concha is accurate, well-referenced, and provides a comprehensive view of its significance in architectural history.
 * Architectural Details: Expanding on the architectural aspects of the building, including design, style, influences, and any unique features that highlight its importance in the architectural landscape.
 * Balanced Content: Assistance in achieving a balanced perspective that includes not just the architectural and historical significance, but also addresses contemporary issues and public perceptions without veering into promotional or unduly negative content.
 * Reliable Sourcing: Help in identifying and citing reliable sources that can substantiate the facts about Portal Fernández Concha, ensuring the article meets Wikipedia's standards for verifiability.
 * Photographs and Illustrations: If anyone has access to or can point towards copyright-compliant images that could enhance the article visually, it would greatly contribute to the article's quality.

I believe that with the collective knowledge and expertise of this community, we can significantly improve the Portal Fernández Concha article, making it a valuable and informative resource for all readers interested in architecture and history. I am eager to collaborate and would greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or direct contributions you can offer. Please feel free to dive into the article, make edits, or discuss potential improvements on the article's talk page or here.

Thank you for considering this request, and I look forward to your valuable contributions and insights. Best regards, TraceySear840 (talk) 18:03, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

I see that you have resubmitted the draft, without taking on board the first reviewer's comments, and have now taken the second reviewer, who also rejected it, to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
