thread_title: too much modern emphasis

message: Before I start editing, Ahering@cogeco.ca, could you try rewriting your recent edits?  The tone employed ("are essential", "areas must have") is more instructive than informative.  I do like the LAPD citation.  I also worry that you're taking a very limited, first-world perspective in your sweeping statements of requirements ("glazing panels are often required" "The curtain wall itself, however, is not ordinarily required to have a rating").  Please include just WHERE these requirements exist - I doubt very much that the majority of countries across the globe have such stringent requirements, and can't know just where you're talking about without further information.

thread_title: non-NPOV tone

message: Curtain walls are, historically and almost by definition, modern and first-world.  The bit about "medieval" curtain walls is interesting, but perhaps it's confusing to people coming to this from outside of architecture and structural engineering.  It sounds like there's a stylistic choice to be made (you've got your medieval hand-crafted curtain walls and your filthy modernist first-world curtain walls). I came across this article by chance, and I think it's excellent--you just need to underline that the modern and medieval terms are entirely different concepts.--84.48.122.132 19:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What about traditional Chinese architecture? This article is linked from the Dougong article, which describes traditional Chinese architecture as using non load-bearing curtain walls. If that is correct, then perhaps the History section of this article should mention that. If not, then the Dougong article should be corrected. 168.244.164.254 (talk) 15:59, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The external link entitled "Curtain walls in 20th-century architecture" no longer links to its intended destination, the site has been moved. 137.92.97.111 (talk) 00:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The link should be removed as the article is about "glass" curtain walls, which is totally removed from an outer defensive curtain wall.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.105.39 (talk) 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Dead Link

message: Something approaching half the links to the original curtain wall article were from castles and fortification, which was clearly wrong, so I have turned that into a dab page. We should now be able to unravel the links in slower time with the help of the dab notification system. Hope that helps. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:25, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
