Pinging [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]], [[User:Lockley|Lockley]], [[User:BoringHistoryGuy|BoringHistoryGuy]]: I noticed you all collaborating very well in developing [[Pedimental sculptures in the United States]], and I wonder if you could possibly please comment here, towards helping to fix the situation here. The only exception right now is [[Juneau County Courthouse]], a brand new article just created by me, which is currently the sole member of [[:Category:Moderne architecture in the United States]]. I don't know if a bot will arrive and sweep it away too, or whether my just reestablishing the category (replacing a category redirect) will deactivate the bot which would have swept it. Please comment! --[[User:doncram|<font color="maroon">do</font>]][[User talk:Doncram|<font color="green">ncr</font>]][[Special:Contributions/doncram|<font color="maroon">am</font>]] 22:29, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
:Another online source is [http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/architecture/styles/moderne.html http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/architecture/styles/moderne.html], which briefly states Moderne replaced Art Deco in the 1930s. What it describes is compatible with streamline moderne, including saying it is easily seen by its "curvilinear" forms, but it is calling it Moderne. The five example photos don't all show curves, though.
:Also I added another article, the 1919-1920-built, mid-1940s facade-modified [[Lyceum Theater (Clovis, New Mexico)]], to the category. I suppose an architectural historian might possibly argue (but not in any sources I know) that this building is Art Deco not "Moderne" of the curvilinear type. But it is labelled as "Modern Movement: Moderne" in its NRHP nomination, categorized as "Moderne" in [[NRIS]], and its text describes it or some of its details multiple times as "Modernistic" or "modernistic" without using "Moderne" in the text. IMHO it would surely be wrong to impose "Streamline Moderne" upon this building. "Moderne" is used here and in other NRHP documentation as a general style; what we need to do in Wikipedia is describe properly the common usage of the term (which is not merely the Streamline/curvilinear subtype). --[[User:doncram|<font color="maroon">do</font>]][[User talk:Doncram|<font color="green">ncr</font>]][[Special:Contributions/doncram|<font color="maroon">am</font>]] 20:43, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
*[[Modern architecture]] is a well-developed article, which defines PWA Moderne, but not Moderne? Is Moderne in practice a shortcut for PWA Moderne? But what about buildings not associated with the PWA or other New Deal public works programs. The post offices. The movie theatres. --[[User:doncram|<font color="maroon">do</font>]][[User talk:Doncram|<font color="green">ncr</font>]][[Special:Contributions/doncram|<font color="maroon">am</font>]] 21:06, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
