BruceS:Not only are categories restrictive as excluding churches but they are are basically restricted to "Old World" architecture, just as the same group restricted the Gothic category to "Old World" gothic... read these category descriptions carefully and vote appropriately.
at first: i apologize for my english :)
at second:
Baroque restricts "New World"? well well, it is really funny. :))) Baroque buildings you can find in the "New World" too - e.g. Salvador baroque buildings are actually in UNESCO list. BUT at first look, i see about 10 categories, that are targeting ONLY for "New World" especially US e.g. New World Ancient Eviddence, Route 66, US post offices, US states A-Z, US historic places, US civil war, US WW memorials, US parks etc etc ..... and you say us, that we restrict? this makes me really ROFL.
when i sarcastic paraphrase you : read descriptions carefully, think and vote.
Europe is old, thats why we are interesting in and read about old architecture, it is part of us legacy. And thats why we made (or tried make) these categories. I really didnt expected, that you will have problem with it, if i see so many US only waymarks. So this are oriented mainly on europe, does it really matter (with look at previouse sentence)?.
or is it everything about that you will not have new "icon" in few days?
Dáin & Olík ( co-founders of mentioned categories.)
btw: I will probably never make or visit US only waymark, never mind.
