Talk:Roundhouse (dwelling)

message: The current arrangement doesn't seem to be working too well and doesn't accommodate new information from different countries well or details of the modern resurgence in roundhouse construction using new techniques. It may be more appropriate to arrange the article by country so that more details can be added for different parts of the world. The different designs to suit different climates and local resources may then become clearer.PeterEastern (talk) 04:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Reorganise article by geography?

message: States Roundhouse (dwelling), an Iron Age dwelling which is an article that would interest me and to which I would contribute. However the article has now been rearranged and while the intro states originally built in western Europe now seems to include of any round house as opposed to Squarehouse. A minor gripe I raised here is the use of the term British Isles which has proved increasingly irksome to the Irish. ref These islands Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (17th ed)ref. The current examples only include Britain although MBM has kindly provided us with an Irish example so that the section could be extended to Britain and Ireland.

Talk:Ralph Moody (writer)

message: This article has a very unencyclopedic tone. That needs to be revised. It needs better sourcing, and we need to consult sources that are secondary more.

thread_title: Untitled

message: thumb|right|120px|The picture which has been removed
I have removed the picture of alleged sedilia at St Marys Church, Grendon, Northants because the photograph does not show sedilia.
There are sedilia at that church but they are on the other (south) side of the altar . The Victoria County History of Northamptonshire vol 4 describes them (p.251) as "good 15th century triple sedilia with crocketed ogee cinquefoil arches and plain jambs and dividing pieces, the seats are level".
The photo showed nothing like that. The item shown in the photo was described, on the same page, as "a chamfered arch recess, in which is a small plain altar-tomb" (Pevsner: Buildings of England (Northants) 2nd edn 1973 describes it as an Easter Sepukchre).
It would be good to have here a photograph of the actual sedilia in the church, which sounds as if it would be an excellent illustration for the article.

Talk:List of essayists

message: This list should be edited (probably by someone more knowledgeable in literature than I) to provide more information, aid in navigation, and be more accessible (see WP:LIST). Two suggestions for improvement:
*Subdivide this article into sections based on authors' nationality, primary subject-matter, year of birth, etc.
*Add a brief summary to each, or to the most notable, author(s) (i.e., anything other than a list of names, which although perhaps valuable, is difficult to read/use).
Thank you and happy editing. Black Falcon 22:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikipedia list guidelines

message: In its present form, the list provides information on the country of birth of each essayist. However, some may confuse this with nationality. For example, Alfred Brendel was born in Czechoslovakia but is of Austrian origin. I have added an explicit warning at the top of the article, but maybe this isn't enough. I would like to see what others think before making any significant change(s).
On a similar note, should the country links connect to the respective countries or peoples (e.g., should the country link for a French author link to France or to French people)? Black Falcon 03:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sikh architecture

message: 99% of this article is taken straight from the thesis posted on the first website listed under External Links. either the user Sikh Historian both wrote the paper and started this article, or he just copied someone else's original work. i think the correct thing to do is for Sikh Historian to show he has the author's permission to post the thesis (and post a disclaimer in this talk page). or if he IS the same guy, all original material should be deleted (according to policy). the article was set up oddly to begin with: no sections, no formatting, no wiki'ing, no cross-referencing, only 1 picture. the biggest give-away to anyone else who has viewed/edited this article is the phrase that everyone has left in "This paper attempts to outline the main elements...". either wiki this article or delete it. i prefer wiki, cuz there's not enough articles on asian architectural styles, so this one is really needed.

thread_title:  Báb's prediction fall Qajár dynasty  

message: The article seems to consist largely of misunderstandings. It was not built as a dungeon, and siyah chal was not a common term for dungeons, and there were not a lot of high-rigour dungeons with this typical design, and so forth. To understand what it was, one has to understand how the water supply in Tehran (and many other cities) worked, i.e., intermittently, via above-ground open water channels that were flushed with water, in rotation, every so many days. This meant there was a need for water reservoirs in the suburbs and in the courtyards of, or underneath, wealthy houses and (naturally) under bath houses. The photo seems to show a main entrance to the bathhouse. Presumably the bathhouse had fallen out of use, or a more constant water supply had been arranged for it - and the empty reservoir was pressed into use as a dungeon, for a period. At that point, it was christened "black hole," for as Iranian prisons went it was particularly bad.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sen McGlinn (talk • contribs) 19:50, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: And this is because you found an interesting insight from the writings of Baha'u'llah that will educate the reader about his experience? Or you found an obscure quote that, if excerpted just right and taken out of context, makes Baha'u'llah look bad? Either way, it's OR to quote primary sources without some commentary or precedent. For example, Adamson's A to Z of the Baha'i Faith has an entry for the Siyah Chal (not for Maiden of Heaven). It takes a quote from Baha'u'llah on his experience, and another quote from Shoghi Effendi. Those would be justifiable to quote. Similarly, Smith's Concise Encyclopedia has an entry for the Siyah Chal but not Maiden of Heaven. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 17:49, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Steeple

message: 3-8-07 Removed this paragraph, which seems more like frivolous proselytizing:
 
"A common myth claims that the steeple is based in earlier Pagan architecture.  It is said that the Pagan steeple was originally constructed to symbolize the male phallus. This completely incorrect idea is rooted in anti-Roman Catholic author Alexander Hislop's general attempt to dismiss Catholicism as paganism in disguise, as described in his 1858 book " The Two Babylons, or The Papal Worship Proved to Be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife." While Hislop did not claim steeples are pagan in origin, his follower Ralph Woodrow did in his own 1966 book "Babylon Mystery Religion." Woodrow has since recanted his claims, which had no evidence to support them anyway."
