"breathtakingly located" is hardly NPOV. Is this copied from somewhere? RickK 00:18, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

No, it was not copied from somewhere. I condensed the Advisory Report (~5 pages) which is abailable on the world heritage web page (whc.unesco.org) and actually took care not to plagiarize. I probably should have indicated the source - sorry for that. Here it is: http://whc.unesco.org/archive/advisory_body_evaluation/211rev.pdf

"Breathtakingly located" is maybe POV - I agree. But the pictures I have seen are pretty much breathtaking. But I'll take it away, no problem. Luis rib 01:03, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of updating this page, as I direct the Minaret of Jam Archaeological Project, and wanted to correct some of the contents. The location is breathtaking - check the link to our article in Antiquity if you have any doubts! DavidThomas71 18:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Can someone edit this page so the picture on the left doesn't obscure the text? Oshibka 21:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please move the marker of the minaret on Google Earth by 1200 m east. The site location is actually visible there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceboulon (talk • contribs) 03:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
