I don't know who made that up but I disagree with it. Date of birth and place of birth should be standard practice.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:48, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Elekhh

Just having a quick look at this, the article has developed very nicely so now is comprehensive and well structured. I find it relies a bit too much on magazines rather than reputable architecture critics, but is ok for GA. The Architectural Review quote is probably the most insightful.

I'd agree with you on sources normally but having researched quite a lot into this I can honestly say that the bulk of the material appears to be in architecture magazines and websites. Very few books document him in the sort of detail we need, its magazines and newspapers which contain the real goods, which I think is fine at least for GA as you say and shouldn't really be a problem at FA given that there are not a massive number of books with details and it would likely be pretty comprehensive should we ever go that far.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:02, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of minor issues:

  • Primary units should be consistently used, and as the vast majority of his projects are in countries using the metric system, it should be metric first. Certainly so for his Danish projects. Probably worth abbreviating, is quite tiresome to go each time through the "xx,xxx square metres (x,xxx,xxx sqare feet)" format.
Agreed, done.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:21, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "in February 2012 Ingels was invited by British Prime Minister David Cameron to a discussion in 10 Downing Street on urban design and safer cycling" - not sure how is this relevant and notable if we don't know of any outcome, and does not help the encyclopaedia entry stay concise.
Removed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:21, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hope this is of assistance. --ELEKHHT 00:11, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • This looks good to pass now. Thank you Elekhh for also commenting.
