[edit] Merge proposal

Ashgrovian was recently nominated for deletion but the consensus was keep. I argued for it's retention, but believe the article could easily be integrated into this article unless it is significantly expanded in the near future. --Mcginnly | Natter 18:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Agree - It is not notable from my knowledge. There should be a regional styles section in the architecture styles article. --Biatch 04:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Disagree - This article is already too large, and should have more sections split out into individual articles. Considering that Ashgrovian seems to be a variation of a Queenslander, maybe it should be merged there? Rimmeraj 04:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Disagree - The Queenslander or Queensland Bungalow, has Australia-wide significance. The Ashgrovian has local significance. Ashgrovian should be merged with Queenslander. --Amandajm 11:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I will implement merge into queenslander soon if no objections are raised by the end of the month. Rimmeraj 13:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge completed. Rimmeraj 00:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV tag

This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 00:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
