[edit] The Basics
This article lacks one of the basics. What the hell are Solomonic columns? --UVnet 11:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- The opening line has been amended to read "The Solomonic column is a helical column, characterized by a spiraling twisting shaft like a corkscrew." --Wetman 00:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merging from Salomonic column
Salomonic would appear to be, at best, an unusual alternative spelling of Solomonic. Maybe not even that - it does not appear in the Oxford English Dictionary. Certainly it is a much briefer entry referring to the same architectural feature and creating unnecessary confusion.
My preferred solution would be to transfer any useful material from Salomonic column, replace it with a redirect, and note the alternative spelling in the main article.

- I agree. I have seen the "Salomonic" spelling used, so it should be given as an alternative. It has 28 Google scholar ghits, vs 350 odd for "Solomonic column". I think it is "Salomonic" in Romance languages, which is presumably where the spelling comes from. Johnbod 15:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
