Images[edit]

I do not know how to add images to wikipedia. If someone can get an image to add here I would be obliged. Elmmapleoakpine (talk) 00:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Mission style furniture. Clearly there's a consensus to move, but there's not a consensus on whether "furniture" should be in parentheses or not. WP:AT says to use natural disambiguation if available, so I'm supervoting a little and moving to the original proposed title. Jenks24 (talk) 10:15, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mission Style Furniture → Mission style furniture – The MOS guidance is to use sentence case in titles but to capitalize proper names. I think "Mission" is the proper name of the style but I suspect "style" is not part of the proper name and I am certain that "furniture" is not part of the proper name. My proposal is to capitalize only "Mission" in the title and the article. Joja lozzo 20:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, as stated. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:18, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. While the professional architectural and furniture design term is Mission furniture (Stickley), I would recommend Mission style (furniture) in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 15:13, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree with that first point. Gustav Stickley's style is Craftsman (and heavily trademarked and advertised for as much sourcing as any editor could wish). 'Mission' was a similar style, but not quite the same thing as Stickley's work. L&JG Stickley continue as makers today and they certainly manufacture Mission too, but detail differences between the two are quite distinctive. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also like Mission style (furniture). Joja lozzo 04:17, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support/neutral: I agree that only 'Mission' should be in Caps but I'm neutral as to which style. I'm happy with either Mission style (furniture) or Mission style furniture. Sorry I couldn't pick one.--Michaela den (talk) 08:58, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
