Talk:House of the Virgin Mary

message: I am not sure about putting the link to "Virgin Mary" in "See Also" section. Is it an OK convention in wiki?
:The general article about Mary is linked to in the body of the text from Mary, the mother of Jesus.  The Blessed Virgin Mary link is Roman Catholic-specific, concerning that church's Marian doctrine, which is why it's under "see also."  Virgin Mary is not a page with any independent content, but only a disambiguation page, and so nothing is gained from linking directly to that title.  Postdlf 22:59, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I've inserted the first reference you've mentioned into the article, the third reference is already cited, and the information in the first and third quotations are now mentioned. I think the second quotation is too subjective to be included in the article. Atilim Gunes Baydin 01:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I can hardly understand how the assumptio of the Virgin Mary fits to the graveyard in Ephesus. Jesus is gone to heaven three days after his death but what about Mary? --Weissmann 16:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Student7 reverted my edits on links because, quote: "changes to link names not helpful to reader. English better than web address.". However, I didn't cut any text, at contrary, I only replaced the text of the link proper with the respective site address. Not that this is an important issue, but, for instance, is "House of the Virgin, guide with map and pictures" of the site  more helpful than "sacred-destinations.com, guide with map and pictures of the site"?. Also, I had removed the link to http://www.turkeyinphotos.com/virginmary.htm because the page doesn't exist.
Again, I don't consider this an important issue, but I think that my own version is more helpful and Steve didn't pay much attention to what I had done.

replies: text: Pushing the website name seems WP:SPAM and indeed, may be, if you have any connection to the web creators. Why is webname important at all, in other words? The only reason it could be important is for publicity purposes, it seems to me. Student7 (talk) 22:32, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand your point of view, Student7, but my intention isn't advertising any of the sites, just making more clear to the reader where the link points to. For me, it's like mentioning the editor when the citation is from a book. I guess we can also consider that this is publicizing the editor. Except for short living websites, it is likely that their addresses are a  better reference than their official name, which, incidentally, didn't appear in the links I edited. --Stegop (talk) 00:34, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

message: A considerable portion of this article is unfounded and unsourced speculation with a largely religious bias.  If the article ıs to be greatly improved it will need considerable overhauling in a non-biased/fact based way and with the use of consistent and accurate sourcing of all claimed facts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Indiansummermh (talk • contribs) 21:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed uncited material and requested cites for others. If you notice any more, why don't you tag them? Student7 (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That was in May 2011, in August I fixed most of it. History2007 (talk) 00:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

message: The parenthesis "[…] the first basilica in the world dedicated to the Virgin Mary […]" is not supported by the article Church of Mary and is in conflict with the article Church of the Seat of Mary.
Quotes:
# The Church of Mary "is an ancient Christian cathedral dedicated to the Theotokos ('Birth-Giver of God', i.e., the Virgin Mary) […]".
# The Church of the Seat of Mary "is the first church known to have been dedicated to the Theotokos (Mary the God-bearer) in the entire Byzantine Empire."
# "We know of a fifth-century church at Oxyrhynchus dedicated to the Virgin, adding to the churches in Jerusalem and Rome that we have already mentioned, as well as the […] Church of St. Mary at Blachernae in Constantinople […] probably built under the empress Pulcheria's patronage during the middle of the fifth century."—
