> whenever there is a bug nobody knows how to deal with, I'm the one they call. Sounds like you already have some recognition and respect. Why are you not the one evangelizing your ideas? It's not enough to have good ideas. You need to execute on them, you need people to understand why it's a good idea. If one of these architects refutes or criticizes your idea, why don't you show case it? Why don't you build a prototype? You can then show that to everyone and make sure the origin of the idea is clear. Also, talk about this to your manager. They should be able to help with making sure you get recognition for your ideas if it's important to you.
