thread_title:  Certain day? 

message: I have extended this article, mostly drawing the on the German version, which is a featured article. I have mainly diverted from that version by providing more intermediate topic titles and by organising the illustrations in a different fashion, as well as by adding some. It would be useful if more English references could be found (although there actually is a bigger body of literature on this topic in German). athinaios 20:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  major update and extension 

message: This is a "generic" article that is of "top" importance to several disciplines, not merely "high importance". I have taken the liberty of upgading it on the archaeology and Greece and Rome projects  as well as architecture.  Someone needs to knock it into shape. Amandajm (talk) 15:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

message: From Glossary_of_architecture#D: "Dodecastyle:  Temple where the portico has twelve columns in front, as in the portico added to the Temple of Demeter at Eleusis, designed by Philo, the architect of the arsenal at the Peiraeus.[24]" (EB 1911)
From Ancient Greek temple, # Column number terminology: "The term dodekastylos is only used for the 12-column hall at the Didymaion. No temples with facades of that width are known". unref.

thread_title:  Dodecastyle query 

message: The article presents Greek temple construction as ending in the 1st century BC, after which Roman temples were built instead. This is (a) false (the temple of Zeus at Aezani is a standard Greek temple built in the late 1st century AD) and (b) misleading, since the distinction between Greek and Roman temples is very blurred. 
The key sentence is: The increasing romanisation of the east[26] entailed the end of Greek temple architecture, although work continued on the completion of unfinished large structures like the temple of Apollo at Didyma or the Olympieion at Athens into the later 2nd century AD.[27] 
[26] is a citation for a general claim that Romanisation occurred in the East in the Imperial period. [27] is a note "Regarding Roman period and financing, using the province of Asia as an example" (i.e. an aside). So the article offers no citation for its claim that Greek temple architecture died out. It seems to be playing into old fashioned ideas about Greek decline under the Roman empire.
