thread_title: Misunderstandings

message: The following external link has been inserted here and at various other articles: www.fungitecture.com/about.html A sense of what's up with this ican be had from the following introductory statement: "The term Fungitecture was coined to describe the peculiar resemblance between certain ancient styles of monumental architecture and the fruit of one or other species of fungus. However, Fungitecture also serves as an umbrella term covering a much wider field of human endeavour, wherever fungus imagery, lore or substance may have been invoked." There are no references to any responsible peer-reviewed literature, needless to say. This does not show Wikipedia in a flattering light, in my opinion.--Wetman (talk) 01:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Hansmeyer developed his concept by taking a traditional Doric column and feeding the form into his computer where his subdivision algorithm could go to work on it.

thread_title:  inspiring modern art 

message: This article has several factual errors. There are 2 grooves, not 3 in a triglyph. There are 3 raised portions, and 2 grooves.
Also the Doric order was widely used in interior design in architecture in the UK and North America by the 1740s or so. So its revival was long before the early 19th c. "Greek Revival" period. I'm sure any architectural historian could point to dozens of examples of the use of Doric in the middle 18th c.
:Pt 1 changed. On pt 2, are there really many that are fully Doric rather than informal Tuscan?  In America??? Johnbod (talk) 17:24, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: This page says of Doric, "It was the earliest and in its essence the simplest of the orders," and yet the page linked in the same paragraph says in section 3, "Sometimes the Doric order is considered the earliest order, but there is no evidence to support this. Rather, the Doric and Ionic orders seem to have appeared at around the same time, the Ionic in eastern Greece and the Doric in the west and mainland." Neither statement is given citation, I can't confirm which is right, but a consistent position should be taken, even if that is one of uncertainty. --Dean Sayers

thread_title: Conflict with remark on another page

message: Out of all the things I wrote, I think this area would be beneficiary in the "Temples" subheading. It's just a small bit on the origins of Doric temples, but I believe it will add a bit of new information. It also has the edited sentence for the next paragraph in that subheading. If I see no complaints to this little addition, I will add it to the article.
There are many theories as to the creation of the Doric order. The term Doric is believed to have originated from the Greek-speaking Dorian tribes.Ian Jenkins, Greek Architecture And Its Sculpture (Cambridge, Massachussetts: Harvard University Press, 2006), 15. One belief is that the Doric order is the result of early wood prototypes of previous temples.Idid. 16. With no hard proof and the sudden appearance of stone temples from one period after the other, this becomes mostly speculation. Another belief is that the Doric was inspired by the architecture of Egypt.Ibid. 16-17. With the Greeks being present in Ancient Egypt as soon the 7th-century BC, it is possible that Greek traders were inspired by the structures they saw in what they would consider foreign land. Finally, another theory states that the inspiration for the Doric came from Mycenae. At the ruins of this civilization lies architecture very similar to the Doric order. It is also in Greece, which would make it very accessible.
Some of the earliest examples of the Doric order come from the 7th-century BC. These examples include the Temple of Apollo at Corinth and the Temple of Zeus at Nemea.Robin F. Rhodes, "Early Corinthian Architecture and the Origins of the Doric Order" in the American Journal of Archaeology 91, no. 3 (1987), 478.
This is the end of current additions to the article. I will update this if I have any more. I'll try to implement these today, after a few more reads and edits.KnightOrnstein (talk) 17:55, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

message: An article about Doric columns without a photo of the Parthenon or generally a temple that is located in what is now Greece, doesn't make sense.... A photo of a library in France? Come on.. Onoufrios d (talk) 04:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
