'''Wiel Arets''' (], ] ]) is a Dutch ]. He graduated from the ] in 1983. In the following year he started his own firm, ''Wiel Arets architect & associates'', in Heerlen. He prefers simple and abstract compositions. His palet is very sparse and he prefers black and white (including for his own clothes; he usually dresses in ]).

His main claim to fame is his design for the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Maastricht; his design for the Universiteitsbibliotheek in Utrecht is also praised. With ] he collaborated in the restauration of the ] in his birthplace Heerlen, and designed a number of pharmacies (?) in the south of the Netherlands. In ] he designed a complete Medisch Centrum (Oude Provinciale weg 81/Lindenstraat Hapert). The form language of ] is combined with an abstract, placid aesthetic. His favorite building material is the glass brick.

===Awards===
In 2005, Wiel Arets received the ], the oldest award for architecture in the Netherlands. The jury appreciated the remarkable quality of his work and praises his extraordinary contribution to architecture. The Kubus is awarded annually since 1965; previous winners include ], ], ], ], ] and ], and ].

Also in 2005 Arets received the ] for his design for the ] on ] in ], which came with a check for 7500 euro. The Stichting Rietveldprijs awards the prize every other year to an architect who builds a remarkable building in Utrecht. Past winners include ], ], and ].

::::Now you're talking! ] (]) 18:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:Hi CoM
:My views on the RfA (should you care):
:*Quite unfortunate that it closed in such a short time, especially over a weekend. As per the reasoning behind expanding AfD discussions to seven days, there are different audiences during different days.
:*A couple of editors really covered themselves in inglory with their comments.
:*Many of the opinions were predictable.
:*Administratorship is neither a privilege nor an honor&mdash;it's a volunteer position granted by the community based on consensus. One reasonable basis for individual editors in formulating their opinions is the desire to avoid "drama" (for lack of a better term), and that it is legitimate to factor in the predictable actions of other editors&mdash;even if predictably immature, outside of policy, inconsistent with guideline, and lacking Wikiquette&mdash;when assessing the amount of drama likely to be created.
:*It is worth commenting on the number editors who "opposed" your RfA who praised your contributions to the project.
:*The most frequent concerns (and those ventured by the least polarized of the opposers) were edit-warring, POV pushing and not adequately addressing talk page comments / following consensus. There is very little in these areas that is black and white, and my recommendation is to make sure that for every edit you make (whether in article or talk space) where you think dissent is possible as to whether you are edit-warring, pushing POV, or flouting consensus, you look at the record of diffs from the perspective of a cautious consensus-freak evaluating your edits for your next RfA (from personal experience, I know this is hard when other editors do exasperating things). For what its worth, I think that approach is recommended ''even if'' you never intend to try again for Admin.
:*Notwithstanding problems you may have had in this area before, fighting for neutrality and/or balance in ledes and elsewhere in articles&mdash;even difficult ones&mdash;is a worthy cause. As long as you keep the above bullet point in mind, I hope you continue editing in this vein.
:Keep up the good work, and take the advice from the chorus of ]. <font color="green">]</font><font color="blue">]</font> 16:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

*:Or: "I know you'd hit out if, you only knew who to it?"

*:And then there's: "Yeah I'd break bread and wine, if there was a church I could receive in. Cause I need it now. To drink the cup. Fill it up. To drink it slow. Can't let you go. I must be an acrobat to talk like this and act like that"
*:And: "You can dream so dream out loud."

:::Sadly, many otherwise intelligent people seem unable to fathom that handouts do no good and are often counterproductive to expanding opportunities and improving standards of living.

== Slight concern ==

Dear ChildofMidnight

Reading some of your comments at ] I am concerned you have got the wrong impression of me. You have said "you're misapplying a policy", and "Flying airforce one around to take picture five days after Earth Day was wasteful and thoughtless, it caused panic and fear among tens or hundreds of thousands of people, but you're not interested". I do not feel I am being given the good-faith assumption I deserve. I am not out on a crusade to delete the article and will stop at nothing. I just feel the flyover isn't notable enough to warrant an article, that's all, and I believe so strongly in that that yes I will argue strongly, but not to the extent that I lose my impartiality. I hope this clears things up, and thank you for reading. Please feel free to direct me any inquiries. ] (]) 00:34, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks for the note Cordovao. Don't be concerned. If you read the policy it's quite clear. "Routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article." This isn't a tabloid story or an announcement and it has loads of reliable sources with substantial covareage. So there's no ambiguity. If in the future it's determined that it wasn't in fact notable, which seems unlikely, we can always delete it. ] (]) 03:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
::You're welcome. I assure you I have read the guideline multiple times, and have cited "Misplaced Pages considers the historical notability of persons and events." I agree it isn't a tabloid story, but I still do not think it passes muster in terms of historical notability. Anyway, thank you for your response, and I hope we can co-operate effectively in future. ] (]) 10:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool Beans! Thanks for pointing out where I needed some citations, I really do appreciate it. I put the ones in that you pointed out and will continue to look for more.

Unfortunately this will be the last night I will have to spend a lot of time on this for quit a while. I was hoping to get the article substantially standing on it’s own by now. I have deliberately left the tag at the top of the page stating that more citations are needed in the hope that others would join in the editing of the page.
