message: It says that in German "Schloss" and "Palast" are used. But the word "Palais" also exists, which is not the same as Schloss or Palast though. I think a differentiation is needed, does anyone know more about this dilemna and how we could solve it? Gryffindor 02:13, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I doubt that the image of "Emir's Palace" from Syriana qualifies as fair use, especially as the image is not credited or labelled properly. 131.111.8.103 01:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. I'd like to know if there's any interest in adding a section about "Royal Apartments" to this article? I've searched around a bit but I can't find a good page. The material is probably inappropriate for the Apartment page. For your convienence here's the google/Wikipedia search. Ewlyahoocom 18:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Royal Apartments?

message: I was wondering if maybe, under the 'palaces elsewhere' heading, we should add a refrence to the American continent in somewhere -as it was closely linked to Europe and its royalty...??? I'd like to add a little piece on Chapultepec Palace in Mexico. It had a history before Emperor Maximilian of Mexico and Empress Carlota, but they made it into their official Palace in the 1860's during the Second Mexican Empire. It is the only dwelling built (or remodeled... ; ] ) for Royalty in the Americas. Let me know...Cali567 10:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: saying the USA has mansions that are like palaces is pointless, nearly every country has one of them, how ever Puerto Rico should be kept. It also has no refrences, the USA should be removed from a subtitle and should come under 'other. Alexsau1991 (talk) 23:24, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I think it would no go amiss to mention somewhere in the article the use of the German term "Palast" during the Cold War in regions behind the former Iron Curtain.  I recall such civic buildings as the "KulturPalast" in East Berlin and in Budapest, in Hungarian, of course.  If anyone knows more about these, I think that the usage warrants mention in this article.Peaky beaky (talk) 06:59, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: While the other sections of this article talk about specific palaces, the section on Portugal does not.  It sounds like it was written by the office of tourism, highlighting the beauty of Portugal without any relevant mention of Portuguese palaces. 138.162.0.45 (talk) 15:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm agree with you, the Portugal section is awfully sounds like tourism advertising, need rewriting right away. (Gunkarta (talk) 16:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Portugal tourism ad? 

message: I must agree with an anonymous contributor here, the article (especially the Mexico, Portugal and Russia section) has too many picture. This is an encyclopedia article, not a wikimedia commons category gallery, or even worst, tourism advertisement. I propose to limit the picture of each country, only 5 pictures; 1 picture is the main picture, and 4 pictures as gallery picture. We should do it justly and uniformly.

thread_title: Is this an encyclopedia article or picture gallery?

message: Why do the sections for Spain and Portugal sound like weirdly enthusiastic travel advertisements? "Mediterranean plains and whitewashed villages nestled atop the promontories overlooking the great Atlantic are characteristically dotted with palaces like few other nations." Also, awkward phrasing: "these palatial estates run rampant."
For Spain, annoying use of the first person: "...we should point to the Alcázar of Seville." Someone should fix this nonsense. I can, I guess. If nobody else wants to step up.
Just noticed someone else posted something similar before about Portugal. If it needs clarification at this point, I agree with you.

message: The word "palace" comes from Old French palais (imperial residence), from Latin Palātium, the name of one of the seven hills of Rome.
That is not correct. The correct oldest ethymology is from Iranian "Pala", early greek "pallas" and semitic "Palestina" means "Land for great residence" (*Palas-tana). It is existent in all languages of IE, Arabia, India, Skythian and Semitic.  Palas is a word for gods, a very old title, like "Pallas Athena". And all gods have a great house, a temple. I cant say, what is the source. Phallus is a other derivat of this, check the story of Kronos, Osiris and Myths of Hittiti. Palavani means the holy language of Kurds, Palavi is the holy language of persian. The early germanic form from iranian "Pala" is "Vala", the france "Valloni" is from Allemanic, other germanic words like "Walhall", "Walfahrt" (Trip for prising god), "Valley" are derivates from Vala. Odin is a "Valfather", a father of gods. 
I have no idea what is the source, but it is not IE. It is much earlier, maybe Old European or isolate Old World language?
The german "Palast" is a loanword, i think from late Middleage, from migrated Hugenottes or a trendy word from SunKing "Luis XIV" or so. Palais is e.g. in Sanssouci. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanssouci
In modern germanic the homeword for a great main-residence is "Schloss". A Palais is more a Summer-Residence or a Villa (a "Val"-house).
Palast is modern more a glamour big he house for Stars and very important peoples, mostly we mean that house is too big and too expensive  for a little person. Hope that helps to unterstand.

message: This is te kind of dangereous mis-use of wikipedia, and these kind of universal articles should not only filled by users, in order to include all actors. And avoid exclusion.
Morocco, a country where palaces and royal palaces and compounds are everywhere, is not mentionned in the article. Even other countries of North Africa, south of Spain, where the north african and arab architecture is very present, or arab countries. Is this deliberated ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HfedBo (talk • contribs) 17:37, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
