Talk:Qalawun complex

Untitled

The gothic marble portal is part of the mausoleum of an-Nasir Muhammad, it is adjacent to the Qalawun complex, but it is not the Qalawun complex itself. I changed it in the article. The first madrasa on a four iwan plan was assumingly the Madrasa of az-Zahir Baibars, but for sure not the madrasa of the Qalawun complex. I also changed it in the article. 141.13.170.175 (talk) 20:25, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Revision/rewrites needed

The article needs revision for sourcing, relevance, and writing quality. I'm giving notice here that I'll try to do this in the future, but edits by others are obviously welcome (if you're looking for sources, the Williams and Behrens-Abouseif books are good references; ArchNet also tends to be decent and relies on similar sources). Some points for revision:

• The history sections seem like they could be salvaged by looking at the typical sources and seeing if they back up what it said there.
• The description sections are more haphazard and may need rewriting. There are some claims that are either a little impertinent or arbitrary (e.g. that it's considered the second most beautiful mausoleum after the Taj Mahal). Citations are missing throughout. There are a few citations for quotes taken directly from Behrens-Abouseif about some details, but the quotes are unnecessary and could be easily paraphrased instead; what's needed are more thorough citations for the facts and information in general.
