Cultural attitudes[edit]

I have added the cultural attitudes section because I find the non-neutral opinion-based edits to be of great interest as additional information about how the various members of a culture view a specific encyclopedia subject. This is difficult information to find on any particular subject without lenghty research of history, blogs and other websites. I do believe the main body of text should be strictly neutral and factual, per Wikipedia policy, but a separate subsection on the main page in a one-sentence per viewpoint succint format can add a deeper understanding of the significance of a subject.

It may or may not help resolve the problem of edit-wars on the main text of controversial subjects, but it wont erase the fact of controversey.

Please let it stay for a while.

This section has been morphed from a list into prose and combined into a more succint format as the succint format from before was anything but.A mcmurray 05:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with tone, esp. WP:PEACOCK[edit]

Much of this article could benefit from a major pruning or rewrite. The tone is particularly problematic as it wanders far afield from standard encyclopedic writing. The section Architecture as an Expression of the Times is particularly problematic as it reads much like an architecture critics review in a magazine rather than what one would expect to find in an encyclopedia. It is also mostly entirely uncited. Such writing has its place, but it reads like personal analysis of the original author, and as such, its place is not in Wikipedia.
