Robert Lawson (architect)[edit]

Mostly a self nom. I had never heard of this man until following the featuring of Benjamin Mountfort and Francis Petre, Grutness told me he was in fact more famous than either as a New Zealand architect. Some research proved Grutness "probably" correct. Donovan and Grutness (slightly nearer to the sites than me) have taken some brilliant fotos especially for the page. I think, it is the most in-depth, or at least the best illustrated essay on the subject freely available. Giano | talk 21:54, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it seems to cover Lawson more comprehensively and succinctly than any of the books I've found about New Zealand architecture. More good work from Giano (with some additions and tidying from myself, User:Francs2000, User:Hoary and Donovan). I'm voting in favour (then again, I would). Grutness...wha? 00:50, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've just re-read my nomination, I didn't mean to leave out the crew who have helped out with copy-editing and making sense, especially Grutness with local knowledge and information. My English grammar, and word order were on a school report once accurately described as "convoluted and confused". So thanks Guys. Giano | talk 20:13, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support. As James said, it's another great addition to the story of New Zealand architecture. I fulfilled a few photo requests, otherwise, I didn't contribute to the article (if that matters when counting my vote). (_Donovan|Geocachernemesis|^Interact) 11:41, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support, although shouldn't references come after notes?--Cyberjunkie | Talk 11:29, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right, I'll move them. Thanks for the vote Giano | talk 11:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support- great article. Perhaps move the article to Robert Lawson and the current Robert Lawson article to Robert Lawson (disambiguation), since the other three don't have articles yet? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:18, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks vor the support. The reason I chose (architect) was because quite a few page linked there wrongly - so it's only a matter of time, and also our Robert Lawson's nephew Robert Lawson (cricketer) who was (you've guessed) an amazing cricketer is on his way Giano | talk 20:34, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support, exemplary and attractive work as always from Giano. Bishonen | talk 20:28, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
