It seems that the reference to Harry Seidler’s bowite wearing was removed from the wikipedia. The entry initially read:

“Seilder’s uncompromising views and singular buildings has meant that his bespectacled eyes and bowtied neck are seldom far from the headlines.”

This was an accurate statement. Nonetheless someone thought it a little too sensationalist for the wikipedia and it was promptly removed. As such a more objective entry has been made:

“He is a founding memeber of the Australian Architecture Association and in 1976 he received the RAIA Gold Medal. In 1984 he became the first Australian to be elected a member of the Acadamie d’Architecture,Paris and in 19787 was honoured by the Companion Order of Australia, an honour which he accepted in his tradmark suit and bowtie.”

Hopefully this will be deemed more suitable.
