Is Byodoin really the world's oldest wooden structure? I think the oldest is Horyuji (法隆寺) in Nara-prefecture, not Byodoin. A Part of Horyuji's existing cathedral was built (more precisely rebuilt) before the early 8th Century (probably in the late 7th Century).--Ideyal
--Byodoin, finished in 1053, is quite a bit newer than the Horyuji. Horyuji was claiming to have the "oldest wooden building" title last time I was there, so I hope they're not lying! Heian-794
[edit] Merge?
In my opinion, no. They're about two temples that are geographically separate, were built at different times, have individual cultural and historical significances. They share the same name, but that's about it. Fg2 06:29, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree and I have removed the merge tag. Icd 09:59, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

- Good point, I didn't notice that. Should we maybe make the titles clearer, to make sure other readers aren't confused? - Nat Krause(Talk!) 05:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Worth considering. Still, each has a link to the other. Not sure. Fg2 11:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English sources for the English language Wiki
This is a quote from Wiki policy on Verifiability
"Where editors use non-English sources, they should ensure that readers can verify for themselves the content of the original material and the reliability of its author/publisher.
Where editors use a non-English source to support material that others might challenge, or translate any direct quote, they need to quote the relevant portion of the original text in a footnote or in the article, so readers can check that it agrees with the article content." 67.180.48.33 (talk) 04:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
