Creating architecture subarticles

Hey, since you're the other main editor who's contributed on these topics, I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of creating separate articles for Almoravid architecture, Almohad architecture, and Marinid architecture. Currently, the "main" article for these is probably their respective dynasty/state articles (Marinid Sultanate etc), but there's also substantial sections in Moorish architecture and Moroccan architecture, and I feel like it might be beneficial to centralize information in dedicated articles for each period, which can then be linked as "main article"s elsewhere. We could also add more detail there without worrying about making a specific section too long in other articles. I'll start by just copying and organizing the existing material on other pages, but there should be plenty of information in reliable sources to expand the topics in the future. (I already did something similar with Ifriqiyan architecture: Aghlabid architecture, Hafsid architecture). If you have any objections or comments, feel free to let me know! Thanks, R Prazeres (talk) 17:38, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

This is fantastic! I’ll keep an eye out and try to add some material if possible. And happy new year! إيان (talk) 18:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC) إيان (talk) 18:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Hey R Prazeres, thanks for your fantastic work you've done starting up these articles. I was just thinking—what do you think about including a bit on urban development? Maybe we can find some plans of cities founded or developed under these dynasties and include them in the articles somehow. إيان (talk) 17:26, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, an article you recently created Abu Shu'ayb ad-Dukkali as-Sadiqi, is not ready as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage with citations from reliable and independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. I've moved your article to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's WP:GNG guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Oulmes Mineral Water moved to draftspace

Information icon An article you recently created, Oulmes Mineral Water, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, click the Submit the draft for review! button atop the article. Please ensure articles have sources with significant coverage regarding the subject itself; see WP:INHERITORG. Silikonz💬 23:33, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

This is somewhat of a sequel to last year's Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Brunch in terms of the participants, though this time it is an evening event in a different borough.

We may leaven the event with a few impromptu lightning talks, a Wiki-fashion show (yes, really!), and likely an afterparty tour.
