| :I don't think the name should change, at least not the name of the url, it's too important for search engines that it be meaningful. I would also suggest that this article be trimmed down to describe the concept of straw bale construction, not the how and why - that's not encyclopedic, that's a how-to which belongs over at wikibooks or similar. But how about if I concentrate on moving it, and we'll take it from there. There are big discussions going on on some SB email lists about the best way to distribute information - so I want to move fast while the topis is alive. --] 13:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Greetings everyone. I stumbled across this article and was compelled to become a member of Misplaced Pages, though I have been passively using the site for a while. I have been active in the SB community for the past few years, having worked on various stages of several projects in the US. I was one of a crew of four who built a strawbale residence from the muddy foundation trench, to the roof's ridge cap, to the finish coat of plaster. I am currently living in the UK working on a master's degree in Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies at the ]. | |||
| I'd like to contribute to and improve this article, but I'm new to the Wiki process so bear with me while I take it slow. | |||
| I made a few edits to the external links and listed them in the edit summary. My reason for changing the text of ''The Straw Bale House'' to The Canelo Project (leaving the URL the same) is that the Steens' Book, while beautifully done and very influential, is also seriously outdated. The Canelo Project is still thriving and it seemed better to just call the link what it is. All of the Steens' books are available from that site. | |||
| I can recommend some other books but I am not familiar with the etiquette re: linking to Amazon or other commercial sites. | |||
| I moved The Last Straw Journal to the top, because for up-to-date information there is no better resource. I added Surfin' StrawBale just below it because it is the longest-lasting (and longest) list of links related to straw bale construction that exists. | |||
| I moved the two links to the Paso Robles project description together, since they're related. After browsing through both sites, it seems to me that they are detailing a long, ugly dispute between an owner and his former contractor. While the negative aspects and pitfalls of straw bale construction need to be addressed, are these links appropriate? There is really very little information about straw bale construction there. | |||
| The dimensions in the materials section are kinda screwy, especially the bulk bales. I'm going to go in and fix what I can; I know that bulk bales are not 3 inches square :) | |||
| Straw blocks are cool, and need to be mentioned, but they are not bales, nor is using straw blocks really straw bale construction. Is there a better place to put them? | |||
| That's all for now, cheers. | |||

| ==We need to restore some detail to this article== | |||
| The Wikibooks project is fantastic (though rather optimistic, don't you think?), but there's no reason why we can't have a fair amount of detail on this page. People still want an encyclopaedic summary of information without having to read an entire ebook. ] 18:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I agree entirely. I read the article and thought - is that all they've got to say about it. It seemed lopsided with all those links at the bottom but very limited text. Can't remember what led me to the talk page, but I certainly didn't see the Wikibook link on the main page - my brain filters that kind of stuff out.--] 11:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

I've add that the R-values you mention are American and based on imperial measure, since they are different to the R-values used here in Australia (which are SI). An American R value 0f 17 to 55 is equivalent to an Australian R Value of approximately 3 to 9.6.
External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Straw-bale construction. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it.
