Relics

this is a really great place for great people full of great ancient relics. It was built by a great sultan to practice a great religion.

but where is it ?

Having found this article via a random link, I searched in vain for any indication of where this mosque is, ok, at the bottom the the page is a Category link to mosques in Turkey, but where in Turkey?

Renaming

Hallo, I think that this article should be moved to "Yesil Mosque" because of consistence with all the other articles about Mosques in Turkey. Do you agree? Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 09:54, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Islamic Art History Class Peer Review

1. What does the article do well? Anything that impressed you?

I liked that the sections were rather straightforward. The decorations section has a lot more analysis than the other sections which made the information more interesting to read and easier to grasp, and the visuals really support this section.

2. What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?

The history and architecture sections aren’t as meaty as the decoration section, but the decoration section is very good, so maybe adding more detail and neutral analysis to those other two sections would benefit the overall article.

3. What’s the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?

There are only two sources, and no citations/footnotes, which is a bit alarming. The hyperlinks are good, but I wonder if they couldn’t draw on more sources to build up the sections.

4. Is there anything applicable to your own article?

We were also tasked with splitting up our article into architecture and more decorative parts, and I think you approached the decorations aspect really well in your explanation.

Overall Comments/Questions:

The first sentence of the history section is a bit vague and awkward (what siblings? Can be shown?)

Overall, some of the sentences could be proof read for little grammar hiccups (make smoother) and even fleshed out a bit.

Maybe explain the difference between Green Mosque and Mosque of Yesil → where did these two interchangeable terms come from

Could even go into the separate structures of the mosque more specifically/individually (mosque, turbe, madrasah, kitchen/bath)

More sources

I like the visuals

Nice analysis in the decorations section

It may be interesting to discuss how the mosque is used now, especially how it functions after the earthquake/renovations

Was there any specific reason the mosque was commissioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayleypierpont (talk • contribs) 18:55, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Merging Complex of Mehmed I

I'm merging Complex of Mehmed I with this article. It's an unsourced stub that has received few edits for over a decade and currently only repeats what's already covered here. More importantly, it's far more useful to have information about the overall complex here than in another article that's easy to miss. The mosque is the main monument of the complex and for every other Ottoman religious complex, the mosque article on Wikipedia is the main article for its wider complex. Separate articles can still be kept for the other buildings as needed (like the Green Tomb), but there would simply be a summary section here leading to them.
