message: Something is wrong. When I look at the edit history I see only my contribution. I didn't start the article. Rmhermen 15:46, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)
:Now the history is back -after a subsequent edit by Vampwillow. Not sure if this is a bug. Rmhermen 15:53, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)
::I've noticed this too over the last few days (including on articles I created!) but the history seems to reappear eventually. Nice job of re-editing btw ;-) --VampWillow 16:19, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I would be interested in the exact composition of the sound of bells. The waveform, spectrum, dynamic structure and some basic information would be helpful, all in about a paragraph. Is this considered notable encyclopedic information? bkil (talk) 12:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This section is currently quite a mess of units, with various different bells using one or two of tonnes, lbs and tons. One set of units (imperial or metric, probably the latter) should be picked as standard and the  function used to provide an accurate conversion into the other.

message: Please remove "Used by Paul Revere to warn the British they were not going to take our freedoms." from the topic "Church and temple bells".  I believe this is a reference to the erroneous retelling of the history of Paul Revere by a well known public figure and should not be considered a legitimate historical source.

"The Liberty Bell is a 2080 lb American bell of ..."; puts it in context.

message: Why do you call the bell of the Dom Tower in Utrecht the second largest free-swinging bell in Europe ?  Pretiosa in the Kolner Dom, Gloriosa in Erfurt, the Pummerin in Wien, Emmanuel in Paris, Potentienne and Savinienne in Sens, the big bell of Saint-Peter's in Rome, Sigmund in Prag, Gloriosa in Frankfurt, the big bell of the Kreuzkirche in Dresden, etc, are all larger and free-swinging.

message: I think you should include a section about Shopkeepers Bells. I believe that is the term for them. Im talking about the type of bell you cheer at the entrance of a diner or a typical local door. The one that rings when you open the door.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.239.87 (talk) 05:38, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The fourth section of this article currently consists of a five-paragraph historical account of events which, although a bell does play a part in them, seem to have been insignificant even for the one bell involved.  I propose to remove it entirely from this article.  But perhaps it can be used towards the article Siege of Osaka, which appears to cover the same material.

message: Hi, there's a proposal to create an infobox for articles about notable individual bells that would benefit from input from anyone interested in bells. Please see the proposal and leave your comments at Draft talk:Bell infobox. — Kpalion(talk) 16:06, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bell infobox 

message: As late as the 10th century AD, European bells were no higher than 2 feet in height.
This is referenced to Joseph Needham, whose life's work was to claim all inventions were bigger, and better, and most importantly, invented first in China;  a claim dutifully expounded by many Chinese on the internet.  All claims by him need additional verification, and most importantly, need an automatic dubious  ---  discuss tag.
