message: My wife and I have debated the number of sides a gazebo must have.  I say it must have greater than or equal to five.  That is, a four sided structure, while in many ways similar to a gazebo, is not in fact a gazebo.  This article seems to suggest that any roofed outdoor free standing structure is a gazebo.  That gazebo is a very unspecific word.  Thoughts? Huckfinne (talk) 17:57, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I reverted a bold page merge with Bandstand, as they don't feel like a good fit, though some bandstand structures may be similar to some gazebos.  I'm thinking if anything, the merge might go the other way, with some bandstands being particularly-purposed gazebos, but I think the two are distinct enough that bandstand (the acoustic device, in all its possible forms) merits its own article and should stay and be developed (it needs inline citations badly and a more global treatment).  This article can also benefit from expansion, improvement, more citations, etc.  I'll work on this one a little.  duff 06:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I dont think 2 articles wont qualify to become FA or even GA, but together they can. I just googled to see  has 1.7m hits while  has 9m hits. So it is better we merge bandstand article into this one. Piano no who (talk) 03:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Either or both may indeed qualify, with even a casual effort at development, and both will benefit from separate improvement.  Please add more details and better citations to one or both, and let's see if we can't make them both good articles, for a start. duff 06:59, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is grossly unfair to ask others to put effort with "details and citations", wielding your revert power. Be careful with your words before demanding free labor. 03:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: oh, pshaw.  We are all free laborers, and I did indeed invest some effort on more citations and details.  Be careful with your own words and please remember to sign your comments with 4 tildes.  duff 08:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've reverted what looked like a 2nd merge attempt.  There's some overlap between gazebos and bandstands certainly, but bandstands are characterised by at least some pretence of being a venue for a band performance, something that's no essential part of a gazebo.

thread_title:  how to pronounce 

message: Our article says that "alhambra" is a kind of gazebo.  I can't find any reference to the word "alambra" being related to a gazebo. Online searches turn up only the greek city of Alampra (which has an alternative spelling with a 'b' in it) and several other place-names spelled "Alhambra" with an 'h'.  Online dictionaries seem to have no definition for that word.  Are we sure this is correct?  SteveBaker (talk) 12:18, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alambra? 

message: The article states that a pergola is a type of gazebo. However pergolas have no walls, floor, or roofing, and provide no shelter short of some partial shade. As such I don't think it should be counted as a gazebo. Is there some sort of official reference to back up the claim that a pergola is a gazebo? If not I think it should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.200.12 (talk) 13:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

message: In one episode (5x13 "Jenkins") of the sit-com "How I Met Your Mother" the protagonist Ted Mosby says that the Architect Gregorio Franchetti is the person who designed the Gazebo. Does anyone know if it is true?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.39.222.106 (talk) 10:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to be a joke.  From IMDB:During a lecture to his architecture class, Ted explains "...he is only remembered for one thing, that my friends is the sad legacy of Gregorio Franchetti Gazebo," as he shows a slide of a gentleman (circa 1900) in front of a gazebo. Gregorio Franchetti is a friend of Josh Radnor who plays Ted, and is credited as Assistant to Director in the film Happythankyoumoreplease (2010) which was directed by Josh Radnor.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1570155/trivia  Ml66uk2 (talk) 14:05, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Here it is:
However not sure how or whether to fit it into the article which already has many Gazebo illustrations. At any rate here it is if useful.  Robert Walker (talk) 15:46, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
