Draft:Julie Wilson (architectural practitioner)

  • Comment: @Hoary: Architect is a protected and regulated term in New Zealand (similar to psychiatrist in the US) - most people who work in architecture in this country who would be called architects in other places aren't formally registered, so use terms such as architectural practitioner or architectural graduate. Does that make sense? --04:04, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: "Architectural practitioner" is somewhat opaque, but I take it to mean "architect". If she is, or has been, an architect, then call her an architect, and say more about the buildings or interiors or whatever that she has designed, summarized from what has been published about her work in reliable sources that are independent of her. But the impression I get from this draft is that she's primarily a teacher. If so, make this clear. Struck through in view of Prosperosity's comment immediately above. -- Hoary (talk) 11:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
    Being "involved" or "instrumental" in such and such is (deliberately?) uninformative. What did she do for or during these events?
    Being on a jury, being included in an article: please cut such trivia.
    Please write to inform, not to impress. Example of the latter: "interdisciplinary entity for creative research and design endeavours with aligned collaborators". Are "research and design endeavours" failed attempts to research and design. If it has actually researched and designed, cut the "endeavours"? If "entity" means something other than "firm" or "company", say so. "Aligned" with what? (Merely with each other? If they weren't, they couldn't collaborate.)
