I believe (but I am not sure) that the monestery at Escorial is a Hieronymite - this is supported by the article "Hieronymite" which links to Escorial. --80.164.17.212 11:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Just made a HUGE addition to the article with lots more translations from the Spanish version of the page (but forgot to login first whoops :-P). Most of the Spanish page is now on here. Also changed the assessment to B-class. Feel free to change it back but it seems to me to be at least B-class now.
Doing my part to improve the Spain-related pages on English wikipedia!

Camelotescorial, I genuinely appreciate your dedication to raising awareness of the threats to the environment in the El Escorial region; I have visited the area many, many times and I agree that excessive urbanization is threatening the environment. However, your edits to this end are simply not appropriate for an encyclopedia; they are agenda-driven, and however noble the aim, they fly in the face of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. They are also not encyclopedic fact, and they are not what most viewers came here to see - regardless of whether or not you think they need to see it. Also, I am sure that English is not your native language, so please check your grammar and spelling extremely carefully before editing English wikipedia pages. I speak Spanish very well but I am still very hesitant to edit any Spanish wikipedia pages. You might also want to be more judicious with bolding text, since seeing a paragraph where practically every second word is bolded is a bit overwhelming to the eye.

[edit] Please Check before editing
The cEscorial is currently an Augustinian monastery- and it does not take much research to check this simple fact (ring them if you don't believe web references). References to this are present already in the article via links. Please be more careful in making changes like this without checking. Facts are not based on hunches but on checking and referencing!!Cor Unum 11:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Relevance
I wonder if the little bit about the Spanish Armada and toppling the English throne in the paragraph under "General Iformation" is really relevant to El Escorial? --NetherlandishYankee 14:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
It's called "context" which sheds light on "motivation", Sparky. PeterHuntington 22:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay. It was an honest question, no need to be condescending, especially considering the compliment I paid you on your talk page a few days ago. What is your connection to/interest in El Escorial, anyway?

[edit] floorplan
It may be useful to have a floorplan of the building.Wai Hong 11:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] All about the Building, what about the rest?
It would be good to include more info about other aspects of the monastery and not just the building - ie how many monks are in residence, who is the abbot, what are their lives like, etc. Sylvain1972 21:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
