Painted Ladies

Why are the painted ladies from San Francisco, which are not terraced houses, given as the lead illustration of terraced houses in this article? While they are row of Victorian houses, they are detached. 78.144.145.119 (talk) 07:59, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea why it is there, I am deleting the picture

Townhouse and Terraced house

Hi everybody! Townhouse is a duplicate of this article, Terraced house. If you read the two articles, everything stated in Townhouse is also stated here. Wikipedia shouldn't have two articles about the same thing. These articles should be merged somehow. Your thoughts, please:

Merge Townhouse to Terraced house (I tried to do this boldly but was reverted and told to "expect opposition," so I'm guessing there may not be consensus for this one.)
Merge Terraced house to Townhouse – The google results seem to support this (40M for "terraced house" w/ or w/o quotes v. 200M for townhouse)
Merge both Terraced house and Townhouse to Single-family attached (as opposed to Single-family detached or Multi-family residential), which is the generic name for the category of building types that is neither a single-family detached nor a multi-family, and includes Terraced houses, Townhouses, Rowhouses, Semi-detached houses, Duplex, Townhomes and probably others.

Where's the terrace?

Quote: "The term terrace was borrowed from garden terraces by British architects of the late Georgian period to describe streets of houses whose uniform fronts and uniform height created an ensemble that was more stylish than a "row"."

Three questions:

Where's the terrace?
How do uniform fronts and heights create "a stylish ensemble"?
How are terraced houses more stylish than row houses, when the two terms are used synonymously earlier in the article?

These are the exact same questions that arose in my mind, in the same order. Overall, I think this article and its clone at Townhouse are a mess of conflicting definitions and opinions. I'd be ecstatic to see someone who knows the answers to these questions clean these articles up. 80.220.64.145 (talk) 05:19, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Byelaws" vs "by-laws"

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but I have always seen "by-laws" spelled the way I just spelled it. Is "byelaws" or any derivation of this correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by VN WIKI EDITS (talk • contribs) 21:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Spain, Poland and Czechia

There are more and more terraced housing developments in Spain, Czechia and Poland, with the middle class often prefering them to apartments. There are whole new blocks of terraced houses in Algeciras. 78.90.63.158 (talk) 09:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
