[edit] Question
Shouldn't Mausoleum_of_Maussollos be in this list? (Although, since it was destroyed, maybe not, but) I came here looking for it, so...maybe others do as well. --24.58.164.194 15:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Be Bold! I've added it for you. In the future, feel free to edit! --Mcpusc 20:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mausoleums is/was the correct (dominant) form of the plural in English
It appears that the article name change was justified by the assertion: "incorrect plural of mausoleum". In a quick check of 2 of my dictionaries, both Websters New World (2nd college ed.) and The American Heritage (new college ed.) show mausoleums given as 1st choice for plural. A Google search in English gives approx ratio of 12:1 mausoleums (~630k) to mausolea (~53k).
So, the justification for changing this article name appears to rest on poor research. I intend to revert this change (as well as the reference/text on "Mausoleum") unless some valid objections can be raised.--RCEberwein | Talk 04:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
