[edit] Image or drawing of a temple baptismal font
I would love to see a photo or drawing of a baptismal font. Also, I read that some of the smaller temples actually have only 6 oxen with a mirror reflecting the remaining six. I can see how this is possible, with the lower part of the font in a room below that you can only look down into. Bytebear 19:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The full text seems to be available on google books at the above link - or at least everything I searched for was available :) --Trödel 03:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] cleanup tag
I'm adding a cleanup tag to this article, the length is horrendous and quite redundant at times, it could be a little more terse in the wordiness of descriptions. I think it needs more attention to the "voice" of the article being consistant throughout it almost seems as though whomever was writing got tired toward the end of the article...it shows that bad. The article is good but rambling at times, and then nitpicking in other places. I will try to help, but I'm not much for wholesale revisions. Twunchy 07:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- There's been a lot of cleanup since the tag was added (about 40-50 edits), and I just cleaned up two sections as well as changed the layout at the top of the article. The article could still probably be improved (like any article), but it seems to be good enough now that it doesn't need a Cleanup tag, so I have removed it. Bhludzin 04:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List vs Table
I prefer a simple bullet list rather than a full table. There are too many articles with full temple lists, and this article is not designed to be a detailed list like other articles. We can also reduce size by having two columns. Bytebear 04:09, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
