From Archiplanet
Hello! Thanks for your message.
We always welcome photo contributions, so feel free to add more. If possible, link the images to the page for the building or place they depict. If no page exists (you should always use the "search" to check), you can use the Add A Page helper forms to quickly create a page. Please also see the Help:Getting Started page for orientation and instructions for adding material to Archiplanet.
Thanks for your contributions!

Bob,
thanks for your contributions! they're looking good so far.
Since you're new to Archiplanet, I have a couple pointers I'd like to offer you.
First, please always use the Add A Page helper forms when you create a building page. This form helps users create pages with all the templates and other page formatting we like to have at Archiplanet. And it saves a bunch of piecemeal work later.
Second, the "Discussion" section within each page is intended to contain commentary, description, and information about the building, and is not the same as the wiki "discussion" tab at the top of the page. Thus, comments about your intent or actions in editing the page should not go in the "Discussion" section, but should rather go into the separate "discussion", aka "Talk" page.
Third, with the "Images" section, rather than using the [[Image:]] tag as such, together with the <p> HTML tag, please use the <gallery> tags as found, for instance, in my changes to Sounion.
Finally, we'd welcome contributions about architectural terminology such as corbels, Doric, etc. This class of page is still something we haven't yet established a solid framework for, but it's definitely something we'd be interested in having! At some point, we'll want to create templates and formatting standards but for now you could just add content to any page name you like, such as Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Corbel, Arch, Column.
[edit] Dresden
Bob,
Thanks for your questions about Dresden.
We have a standard format for city pages. The correct name to use is Dresden, Germany. And you can follow the formatting, etc on pages such as Portland, Oregon.
Individual buildings in a city should each have their own building page created with the Add A Building helper form on the Add A Page. Please also note that when creating a page for a building in Dresden, we want the page name to be like: "Building Name, Dresen, Germany". To accomplish this, it is important that nothing be entered into the "State" field.
Thanks for your interest and your fine additions so far!
