thread_title:  Great start 

message: In the computer game "Civilization III" the opening cinematic depicts advancements in human civilization using an interpretation of this painting. It begins as the camera pans across the water to the ships whose style seems to represent nomadic people, and ascends upwards with the architectural style changing the further up into what looks like our modern era. --IronMaidenRocks 21:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't understand why  won't work with different pixel sizes.  I'm frustrated with it as all getout.  I've messed around with the template, even tried thumbing it in, but no luck.  What is wrong?  Anyone?  Bueller?  --mordicai. 16:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, I brute-forced the image in.  It seeems to not want to display at 300px?  I can't figure out how to make the template work with it, so it is OUTSIDE of the template.  Hardly a best case fix but at least the reader can see it now.  I've got the image set to 310px which seems to be working.  Gah.  --mordicai. 16:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Image?

message: Interestingly, Brueghel's painting seems to attribute the ultimate failure of the Tower to engineering difficulties rather than to sudden, divinely-caused linguistic differences.
Isn't the one supposed to have caused the other? Anyway, this and all other uncited statements should probably be deleted. 72.72.225.102 (talk) 16:26, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Engineering difficulties" 

message: Since Wikipedia does not write the painters last name with an "h", shouldn't the page be at "The Tower of Babel (Bruegel)" rather than its current "The Tower of Babel (Brueghel)"? See for instance: Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Stefan Kruithof (talk) 08:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some translation 

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The Tower of Babel (Vienna) - Google Art Project - edited.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 1, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-06-01. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:49, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello, User:Sudowoodoo has created a duplicate article on this topic at The Tower of Babel (Bruegels). That article does contain some good content copied from the German-language article (although not all fully sourced) and I believe it would be best for it to be copied into this article rather than just deleted. Any comments? Blythwood (talk) 01:15, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: A careful merge, yes. He deals with only one of the paintings. Johnbod (talk) 14:40, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: sure, merge and then split. hint: there are two infoboxes in this article. i look forward to your good work. Sudowoodoo (talk) 17:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

text: here is a split draft here User:Sudowoodoo/sandbox. Sudowoodoo (talk) 17:31, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

text: I'd think they are much better kept together, especially if the alternative involves crappy one-line stubs like the draft. Johnbod (talk) 13:24, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

text: The pre-merge other page is here.  There's an interesting quote on the architecture that is so badly translated from the German that I can't use or copyedit is - if anyone can provide a translation I'd be grateful. Johnbod (talk) 15:44, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
