message: I hoped to learn from this article whether the Great Mosque of Samarra was still in use, and if not, when it had gone out of use. The article lacks historical information. Does someone have access to sources other than online news? What happened between 851, when the mosque was completed, and 2005, when someone blew some bricks off the minaret? — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 01:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

message: It seems fairly obvious that this minaret is a major inspiration for later depictions of the Tower of Babel.  Can this be mentioned or is pointing out the obvious "original research"? http://www.devimension.com/dvp_doc_database/doc_img_db/devi_druaartc/tower2.gif    Trilobright (talk) 12:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Hi all, it looks as though the final paragraph under the minaret subheading is a bit under sourced and poorly written. "Many different stories and theories exist as why to the minaret was bombed. Some people state that it was to directly attack the United States forces while others say that it was to cause internal chaos within the country. " <- unsubstantiated by the BBC link provided.-- Jaypee42 (talk) 20:19, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
