DRAFT ARTICLE ON IoAAS - FOLLOW UP

Dear Theroadislong

Sorry to bother you again – about a month ago you very kindly looked at a draft of an article about the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies, a former department of the University of York UK. Your main comment was I think that you felt it needed more references. Apart from that you didn't make any comment on the text, so I'm hoping that seemed OK. Current version, text largely unchanged but improved links and references:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Institute_of_Advanced_Architectural_Studies

I hope you find that the references are much more comprehensive. I take the point that Wikipedia wants independent sources and I have found quite a number. However, I think when writing about a University Department, it’s very difficult not to refer to a University’s own sources! (as I have seen on other articles). Also, as a top UK Russell Group University, I hope we can take the Uni of York’s word for it that it’s not making things up! This link in particular is very valuable:

https://borthcat.york.ac.uk/index.php/university-of-york-institute-of-advanced-architectural-studies

Also, the thing that the IoAAS was most well known for (and indeed I think notable) was the short course programme, but that strangely is also quite a difficult matter to produce published references to. Over 25 years, the Institute ran around 25 courses a year, say 625 course with around 30 attendees on each, giving training to nearly 20,000 architects. But not surprisingly, nobody writes articles or books about that - they go home and get on with it! The University of York Archives have copies of all the programmes, course notes, list of attendees etc, so it’s all a matter of record, but not online.

So, I'm hoping that you will accept that the IoAAS was a bona fide ‘notable’ institute. Indeed the surprise perhaps is that there has been no Wikipedia article recording it’s history before now.

IoAAS Draft Article

Excuse me bothering you again, Theroadislong. I wonder by chance if you might have overlooked my last request for you to have a look at some revisions to this draft? I posted this comment on your Talk Page on 9th July, and there wasn't a reponse, which is quite unusual, as you are super efficient! I guessed you were just away somewhere. You next commented on another post on 16th July, but I think hadn't picked up on mine? Anyway, it's about 10 posts back, if you have a chance to look at it. Many thanks.

   Your draft Draft:Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies has not been submitted for review, but it's looking good to me, you need to remove any in line external links and tidy up some of the bare url sources first. Theroadislong (talk) 20:02, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

IoAAS Draft Thanks very much. I'll attend to the points you've mentioned, then put the Draft up for Review. I'll let you know when I have done that. Many thanks ArchaicW (talk) 13:52, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Theroadislong - Have now edited references and external links as suggested, hope these now seem OK ArchaicW (talk) 15:48, 26 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
