[edit] Not that it's extremely important, but why the revert?

A sentence in this article ("The sign was however just a sign on the wall, and the wall itself remained flat.") seems redundant, and, well, kind of a bad sentence in general. I changed it to "However, architecture of the mosque remained the same" as I was passing through. (Looking back, it'd be better if I had said "However, architecture of mosques remained the same", but oh well.) Was just wondering why the revert from someone (hopefully) more knowledgable about mosque architecture. 16:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Its a question of context continuity...

Step 1. Sign hung on the wall. No change to wall itself.

Step 2. Niche created in the wall to hang the sign in.

Step 3. Everyone recognizes what the niche is for, so sign becomes redundant.

Now change things to read what you wrote.

Step 1. "architecture of mosques remained the same"

Step 2. Niche created in the wall to hang the sign in.

Step 3. Everyone recognizes what the niche is for, so sign becomes redundant.

Not so good, right? -- Fullstop (talk) 03:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
