Templon

This article has been peer reviewed before, but I wasn't able to implement all the suggestions at the time. But I've tightened up the prose, deleted some stuff, added footnotes, added a bunch of fair use pics whose copyright has expired -- I'd love to find some photos, but can't find any that aren't copyrighted. Anyway, this is a fairly important feature in Byzantine architecture, and I'd love to bring it up to FAC quality -- any suggestions? Thanks! The PNM 02:01, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's a nicely detailed and well put-together article on a very specialized topic. :) The only issue I had was a somewhat heavy reliance on architectural terminology, with which I am fairly unfamiliar. But as long as the terms are cross-linked, that's okay. I did find a few obscure terms which were lacking links: trabeated, polychrome marble, and chancel barrier. Also there were a pair of terms, with which I was unfamiliar, that had red links: Deesis and epistyle. — RJH 15:10, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback! I'ved made a stub for Deesis (along with a photo, which should help), and epistyle is just another word for architrave, so I changed that. I hopefully fixed polychrome marble (linking to the multi-colored and marble pages) and I just deleted trabeated (it means, consiting of horizontal beams laid upon each other -- pretty obscure, but an entablature is trabeated by definition). I'm still working on chancel barrier -- it probably deserves an article, but it might have to do with a stub (it's basically the divide between the apse and nave). But thanks -- hopefully it's looking better. The PNM 16:05, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
