I think that the first especially paragraph needs citations. 68.37.205.126 (talk) 20:14, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

message: I believe this it is inaccurate to say that Seku Amadu or anyone demolished or ordered the demolition of the mosque. It is (and always was) as I understand it, forbidden to destroy a mosque. What was done, as I recall from a history, was to condemn it by plugging up the drainage from the roof. All structures in Djenné have flat but gently sloping roofs with openings and a kind of fired clay gutter spout - anndalooje in Fulfulde - (usually several) for rainwater to spill out. Close those and nature does the rest.--A12n 18:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Chapter 7 in Mass & Mommersteeg 1992 provides an excellent source of information on the mosque. It includes a plan and elevations of the building. In studying the chapter I’ve noticed the following discrepancies:    
* Fig 7.2 page 112 is a plan of the mosque that includes a 10m scale bar. This bar appears to be too large as it indicates dimensions that are smaller than mentioned in the text and those obtained from the elevations in Figs 7.3 and 7.4.
* Fig 7.10 – The caption states that the photo is of the western gallery (La galerie sur le coté ouest). This appears unlikely as the right hand side of the picture includes a series of closely spaced arches opening into the inner courtyard while the plan, facades and photos are all consistent with there being only 3 openings in the inner wall on the western side. It is more likely that the photo shows a view of the southern gallery.
* The plan in Fig 7.2 shows a small opening between the prayer hall and the inner courtyard adjacent to the northern gallery. This opening is not shown in the elevation in Fig 7.3.
* The plan in Fig 7.2 shows two small entrances in the west wall of the mosque. The southern entrance is not shown in the elevation in Fig 7.3.
Comparing photographs found on the internet with the figures in the book I notice that the shape of the openings between the inner courtyard and the prayer hall have changed since the book was published.

message: I'd like to suggest some additions to the section Cultural significance. The annual festival to maintain the mosque is known as the crépissage, and it occurs each April. In 2018, the festival was nearly canceled due to the increased attacks by militants near Djenné. Source: . Would anyone be willing to add that information? (Note: I've disclosed a conflict of interest with Roads & Kingdoms, and I am not paid for my contributions.) WillA98 (talk) 18:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: You may have a conflict of interest with regards to the travel magazine, but there can be no conflict of interest with regards to events at the mosque. You are welcome to add information from other publications about this event, which if notable, would have reporting on it done by others. Regards,  spintendo  20:35, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
