:* Agree. It has been improved. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 20:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
+
:* Still disagree, but... It still covers almost nothing except architectural styles.  The description of architecture itself is limited to the first two sentences plus a further sentence quoting a dictionary definition.  There's nothing about the goals of architecture, the methods that architects use, the profession of architecture, etc.  If this article was moved to [[Architectural styles]], ''then'' perhaps it would be good enough to qualify.  But for its current title, its coverage is still far too limited.  [[User:Philip J.
