Excuse me but I am new to this Wikipedia thing, but my special interest is Naval Archetecture, does that branch properly belong here under Architect? --Bruce Hallman
New project proposal related to this article
There is a new project proposal that some of you here may be interested in: Wikibuilder - a knowledge base covering the design and construction of the built environment, in its entirety, in all languages. See meta:Proposals for new projects#Wikibuilder and meta:Wikibuilder for more information, and feel free to add your comments to meta:Talk:Wikibuilder —Christiaan - ☎ 09:40, 18 Jan 2005
Not all architects can be classified in those categories...
The stub definition still needs some more info to flesh this out into a proper stub so that the list can be moved to List of notable architects. --maveric149
I think the convention is (correct me if I missed something) that the name of the profession (architect, dramatist, etc) is a brief intro and then a list of people in that category, rather than needing a list titled List of notable architects which seems cumbersome. --David Levinson
That's not the convention, that's just the way things start. One could write a great deal on any profession and the quasi-convention is to have lists named lists. Lists are not encyclopedic and the only place these lists would be linked is from the article on the profession anyway. For example, if someone were reading an article about Frank Lloyd Wright that said he was an architect, the natural thing for that person to expect upon clicking on the link to the article "architect" would be an article explaining what an architect is, not a list. A list does not an article make. Furthermore, lists should not be named as if they were articles -- that is, unless the only thing on that page is a list. Lists are also inherently plural so having them on a properly named (read: singularized) page title is counter-intuitive and confuses newcommers about our naming conventions. Unfortunetely, most of the profession articles are little more than just lists so moving the list (the only real content of the page) at this time doesn't make sense until a proper stub for the profession article can first be made (breaking things up is also another quasi-convention around here). Sorry, I'm always looking ahead about 20 steps in the process, cross-checking those changes with established conventions and working-through exceptions. In this process I often fail to explain my reasoning for doing the first few steps. Cheers! --maveric149, Wednesday, May 29, 2002

Why not mention the Architect from the Matrix?
"The Architect" from the Matrix movies oughtta be referenced here ... You know, the one that said, "Ergo" and "vis-a-vie" alot? I'm not really that good at writing encyclopedias ...
- Because it's not an appropriate topic for this article. - UtherSRG 19:22, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
no no no - I was searching for "Architect Matrix Character" and this page came up. I'm thinking of a bit of a redirect thingy thatz all. Under "See also". i'm new at Wikipedia. I'm from h2g2.
- The article you are looking for is here: Architect (Matrix character). -CobaltBlueTony 19:59, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
