Talk:Abbey

message: I had heard that the term "nunnery" in Shakespeare's era was commonly
slang for brothel.  That Hamlet's dismissal of Ophelia, "Get thee to a nunnery" would have been a widely understood double entendre.
However, it's only hearsay for me, I'd prefer to find some scholarly substantiation before editing the main article with this.

thread_title: Nunnery

message: A look at "What links here" shows how huge this article is capable of becoming. Perhaps each Order should have a brief paragraph here, with a note Main article at... Bulleted under it, perhaps a linked list of individual abbeys, with a sentence of founding, location, historical importance. Should the abbeys be grouped by general location, within each order? Perhaps later: an easy job. Similarly condensed abstracts of further articles should follow the layout of the Orders. I can think of Abbey (architecture) and Abbey (scriptorium), for examples. --Wetman 19:26, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: The better sort of Wikipedia editor is at least as careful about what one deletes as what one adds. Deleting is not editing. Blanking sections of text is a form of vandalism. Quibbles about monasteries that are not abbeys but friaries etc. need to be addressed in the text— by someone who is competent to do so. Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911 text needs thoughtful revising, not trashing. These posts are being copied at Talk:Abbey.  --Wetman 00:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The link Archabbey redirects here. So. What exactly is an archabbey? It is not addressed anywhere in the article. Rwflammang 20:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this original ?  Most of this sounds like overblown text lifted from a rather sycophantic single source.  86.160.77.50 (talk) 05:01, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  "the chapterhouse, the refecrefectory, the kitchen-court" 

message: This article should describe the differences between an abbey and a monastery. Also, it seems to be covering a lot of the generic concepts also defined in Monastery. I believe the two articles should be reviewed and simplified in parallel.--Codrin.B (talk) 00:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Abbey vs monastery 

message: This article fails to be broadly inclusive of the historical accuracy of faiths, beyond narrowly Catholic, which have long utilized abby and monatery.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.119.165.126 (talk) 18:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The majority of the article is copy pasted from Encyclopedia Britannica 1911; whereas, due to its public domain status, it is legal, however, that does not lend itself to a smooth, modern, concise, accurate article (IMHO). I am going to start rewriting it in the coming days. speednat (talk) 22:19, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
