  • i believe this article needs more accuracy. there were just two samples for irans mosques whic none of them were mosques indeed.(like Ribat-i Sharaf in Iran which is a carvansarai not a mosque). please cheak all places. many of them are not mosques and not famous at all ! --Babakgh 00:07, 13 September 2005 (UTC)


It hardly needs to be said that List of famous mosques is the better title. Wetman 03:19, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

agreed, because I looked at the title and added the Tsar's Mosque because the page was List of mosques... if it's not famous enough feel free to remove it and/or move this page to List of famous mosques. (I say this because there is a difference between famous mosques and mosques and both are valid pages.) gren

You have to speek about the great mosque of Damas.

We have to decide between “list of mosques” worldwide and “list of famous mosques”? It seems we would be doubling the work if we maintain two lists. I’m building a list of all mosques worldwide that do not necessarily include ‘famous’ mosques, you can view the ‘work in progress’ under my page here *NEWUSER Page this information will be moved to “list of mosques” or “list of famous mosques” once I verified them by date of construction, to be developed.
We also need to create a Category for “list of mosques” or “list of famous mosques” that can be used on all mosques’ pages for navigational purposes.
ps: same applies to my list of Frank Lloyd Wrights work.
Please share your ideas, thx! NEWUSER 18:51, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Category:Mosques will be fine for categorization, we don't need a category for lists of mosques... I think it should be all mosques for now....famous is very subjective... plus, I don't think people are going to start adding pages for random small town mosques any time soon. I have uploaded three pictures of small mosques but I'm not going to make pages for them... So, even though London Central Mosque probably isn't truly famous like Al-Aqsa... it does deserve to be there since it is marginally famous at least... so... I'd say be inclusive until people start adding "Mosque of Lancaster, Pennsylvania" which, if there even is one is pretty insignificant. gren 19:33, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I do agree with your point gren; I just wanted to note that I’m personally developing a list of all mosques worldwide and that’s why I only keep them here before I move any well-known mosques to the main page on Wikipedia for further development by others. If an admin can merge the List of famous mosques with List of mosques would be great - since as you noted, the list currently contain mosques that are not necessarily ‘famous’ --NEWUSER 17:04, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate article

The article List of Mosques (capital 'M') should be merged into this one (the only entries not found here are links to mosques without an article) and then deleted. 80.202.25.17 15:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

This should be in a category I think should be called see below on category list. Category:Muslim Religion. --User:Michael Simpson--

[edit] Factual Error

I saw that there is a factual error when there was a list under the name Palestine/Israel. First pointing out the fact that no such country (Palestine) exists, none of the mosques listed are even located in the occupied territories. Until the future status of Jerusalem is resolved, I wish to change the title from "Palestine/Israel" to simply "Israel". I will proceed with the change in two days, if no sufficient well-put argument is presented.--Brad M. 04:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Note to the section is added. Cheers -- Szvest 19:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up™

[edit] Not Factual Error

There is a State of Palestine that is recognized by over 3/4 of the world, Wikipedidia is trying to maintain neutrality, and about 15 or so countries don't even recognize Israel. If the palestinians control the land the al-aqsa mosque is on, then it is technically in Palestine. User:Talib 72 12/19/06 15:39

[edit] Mosques in the Philippines and Brunei

We need to also add mosques in Brunei and the Philippines. There is even new version of a well-known existing mosque in Sulu, Philippines under construction.

[edit] Red links

This article has way too many red links. Is there any evidence that all the mosques posted here are important/notable/famous?

If there isn't, and no other editor has a valid objection, then I'll be removing all dead links soon.

Sure they are notable. There is no reason to remove red links only because articles aren't created yet. Your proposal isn't solution, it's destruction. - Darwinek 17:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
No problem, I assume good faith, Darwinek. How do you propose to sort out the ones that are not notable? Rather, to avoid destruction, whats your solution to the large number of red links? xCentaur |  talk  20:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe the best solution will be to get through all these links by checking each in cooperation with Google. After all, it is open Wikipedia and sooner or later most of red links would appear again added by other users or IPs. :) - Darwinek 20:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Dear Lord. *sigh* Thats what I thought,too... Take a look at this. There's a whole list of mosques in Singapore thats gonna come in soon. But again, is it neccessary to add all of them? I mean, I'm in Mumbai and we have mosques and temples all over, but that doesn't make all of them automatically important. xCentaur |  talk  20:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
No worries. Unfortunately User CarpeDiem had left Wikipedia long time ago protesting against behaviour of some users who compared mosques to mosquitos. :( - Darwinek 20:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Unbelievable. Just read the whole thing. Ridiculous, the things we squabble over... xCentaur |  talk  21:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
