Vyborg Library

Hello, thanks for your information about the Vyborg Library. Your contributions are appreciated. This article was on my to-do list but I lacked data. I split your additions into a separate article, Vyborg Library, which you are welcome to check. --Ghirla 14:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid it was me who got thing wrong. Looking at this picture, I assumed that it is the acoustical ceiling, which I've seen on an old photograph in his book. Or is it another ceiling, in fact? --Ghirla 16:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Philosophers

Hey. Thanks for adding the philosophers section to List of Finns. I added a few more from the category, but it still seems heavily infested with redlinks, which is non-optimal considering how long the whole list has become. I also think Eeva-Liisa Manner might fit better to another section. Maybe you can clean it up a bit? Prolog 08:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. It sounds great to have a good list of Finnish philosophers there. Prolog 09:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:British people

Hi, well done on all your good work categorising articles. I just thought that I ought to point out there is no need to place articles in the Category:British people when they are also in one of the sub-categories: e.g. Michael Foot was in several sub-categories, and it is considered bad practice to duplicate categs in this way. (There are a few exceptions to this rule, but they are rare).

When you are categorising people, it is also a high priority to classify them by date of birth and death. Here are some examples:

Winston Churchill

• ]
  ]

Tony Blair

• ]
  ]

Aderk of Iberia

• ]
  ]

Lord Lucan

• ]

Hope this helps! --BrownHairedGirl 14:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:DYK

Did you know? was updated. On October 16, 2006, a fact from the article Vyborg Library, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Elia Zenghelis

In reply to your concerns on this article, the main issue is that it does not cite sources, nor does it really assert Zenghelis' notability. Koolhaas seems to be quite clearly notable, and many sources are cited for his notability outside of the corporation. Zenghelis, on the other hand, seems to be mainly only "notable by association", which would mean he'd fit better under the corporation's article. Seraphimblade 19:37, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Another architect bio?

Hello TTKK, how is everything? After a recent talkpage comment by a new user I was wondering, since you recently did such a great job expanding the article about Kenneth Frampton and re-writing the one about Rem Koolhaas, if you would consider working on and expanding the article about Peter Eisenman. Let me know what you think, you can discuss anything with me about this that you want or just start writing. I've seen good things from you and trust that you would do that well.
