Is this really a stub? The article would benefit from a picture, as many articles would, but it seems to be perfectly adequate textually. Agentsoo 17:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

It should be noted that Enclopaedia Britannica's article with the title Qala'un Mosque is completely misleading as pointed out here. — mark ✎ 10:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- Just one correction, the Qala'un Mosque mentioned in Wikipedia, which is officially termed the Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qala'un Mosque, is not the one adjacent to the Qala'un Complex. In fact, the Qala'un Mosque (Mosque of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad) is located in the Cairo Citadel, and the Qala'un Complex is close to Khan el-Khalili within the city. But there is one more mosque of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, officially termed the Madrasah and Tomb of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, which is adjacent to the Qala'un Complex. It was initiated by Kitbugha in 1295 and completed by al-Nasir Muhammad in 1304. --Chapultepec (talk) 01:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Delisted GA because
This article can use a lot more work. It needs more thoroughness, such as the exact use of the mosque (besides just praying). It is not well-written and needs much more copyediting; just compare this with any other Wikipedia:Good articles. Surely pictures can be included. The entire article is just a description of the mosque; it needs to be better written then that. AndyZ 23:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
