Doris Cole

Thank you for submitting this article, which I've just passed. It's in very good shape but you'll see I've marked on citation needed in places where I think it might be useful to add a source next to the information. I've not been able to check all your references, but it may be that some could be used in multiple places. To do that, give the reference a unique name – you do this after the ref opener (<) using ref name =X Journal 2012 followed by bracket close (>). Once you do that, each time you use the same reference in the text it generates a listing underneath in the reference list (so a b c X Journal 2012), while in the text the reference has the same number. It is very helpful for sorting and ensuring you don't have the same reference appearing under multiple numbers. One other point is that you may want to reduce some of your references – you have three in places next to a fact, where one or two might do. Hope that's helpful, but a very nice article. Many thanks.

And I forgot to say, reference 4, which I inserted, may be very useful for filling in gaps in your references and could be copied and pasted wherever it covers off the information – it also shows you how the ref name = idea works. Libby norman (talk) 14:26, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Libby, Thank you for your help, I will certainly clean up the references. Why did you take out the photo gallery? Can I add it back in?

Image galleries aren't normally needed in an article if they can sit within the text and illustrate points made there – image use policy tends to recommend you give them quite a lot of thought. I would tend towards the view they are better within the narrative unless you are making a specific compare and contrast point, such as showing roses of different varieties, buildings of different periods, and so on. If you do decide to put a gallery back in I'd suggest you don't repeat images used in the text and do make it just buildings (the book jacket seemed a bit out of place). Bear in mind that many people read Wiki on mobile devices and images within the text may be easier on the eye and a more logical read than a gallery. Perhaps look at other architect articles on Wiki, if you haven't already done so, to see if/how they use galleries. Libby norman (talk) 09:05, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tags on Doris Cole

I nominated your article for DYK. Another user has reviewed it but he thinks some of the "citation-needed" tags need to be removed, other than that, the article is good to go. I have already replaced some. You can help out by replacing whatever tags are left with references. Thanks. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 05:21, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
