Dear Colchicum, On 19 March 2007 at 15:48 an entry is shown under your name in the history log. You have expressed concern that the "Lean Construction" article on wikipedia does not satisfy the notability guideline or one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Biographies, Books, Companies, Fiction, Music, Neologisms, Numbers, Web content, or several proposals for new guidelines.

The Lean Construction research and practitioner community has been working on this topic since 1992 or so. There are numerous publications, in peer-reviewed journals and technical magazines, regarding this topic. The philosophy of Lean Construction is similar, but not identical, to the Toyota Production System, which has a wikipedia entry.

If your concern is with the companies we have listed, this has been only done to establish the widespread adoption of the principles and practice of Lean Construction. This is not meant as an advertisement for the companies. Please indicate whether this is still your concern (Tabdelhamid 11:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Ok, I am not concerned anymore. Colchicum 13:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you remove the note about the notability guideline concern?Tabdelhamid 15:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Veinor, Are your concerns about Wikifying satisfied? Tabdelhamid 18:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why the '4-hour house' is excluded from this page ? Facius 12:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Facius, if this is a wikipedia reference we can add it. The 4-hour house primarly embodies the lean maxim of off-site fabrication and JIT to facilitate site work flow.Tabdelhamid 21:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
