A fact from List of works by Thomas Harrison appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 December 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Thomas Harrison's first commission was for Skerton Bridge(pictured), the first large public bridge in England to have a flat roadway, and his last commission was for Grosvenor Bridge, which has the longest masonry arch in Britain?
Since it's a list article and Thomas Harrison (architect) has his own article, do we need a repeat of his life details here? I organised it as per wikipedia biography but now realise it needs to be left to his home article or made very brief, including only a run-down of a few buildings before attention goes to the List of Works Manytexts (talk) 08:12, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You have a point, although the lead to the list is a complete re-write rather than extracts from the article. I was sort of looking towards FLC at some point and decided to do more than a minimal lead, taking as my example a list such as List of new churches by John Douglas which compliments John Douglas (architect). The Harrison article needs a complete re-write with more extensive material (which I have obtained); and I now realise that the lead to the list should not have been divided into sections — that will be sorted when it's off the main page. Thanks for the comments. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was me! sorry about that -it just seemed too much of a bunch about him to be a lead to a list. Now I see it's introducing the works so maybe not to lead with his name? You're welcome to revert it to being a roundup of the list below. Nice work :) Manytexts (talk) 10:35, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
