Talk:Etchmiadzin Cathedral

message: The current version says "However, other researchers, such as A. Khatchatrian, were unconvinced and held that the original church had taken the form of a cross within a square perimeter."
Can you please take another look at the source? No other source mentions this. Are you sure this is not about the 5th century building, which is universally described as what Khatchatrian says? --Երևանցի talk  20:12, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: See "Medieval Armenian Architecture" by Christina Maranci, p200-207. Khatchatrian proposed that the 4thC church was rectangular in plan (i.e. not a basilica), with a single east apse contained within that rectangular form, and with four central pillars supporting a dome, and that the 5thC rebuilding added the protruding north, south, and west apses and an enlarged and now slightly protruding east apse. Maranci explores the problems with this theory (along with the problems with all the various theories) and the context of those theories within the themes that have influenced the study of Armenian Architecture.

 You have single-handedly brought this article to GA. Therefore, I thought the least thing I could do, is making you aware of the small corrections I want to make in that section. - LouisAragon (talk) 21:16, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure. These sources do seem to suggest that Tsitsianov did not, in fact, capture Ejmiatsin. --Երևանցի talk  12:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
