I am rewriting this architecture using the article that I wrote for wikipedia and simplifying it. There's still quite a long way to go.

I have listed this as a proposed good article. For this there are (in my opion) still too many redlinks. Ways to proceed:
Seriously, once this article is redlink-free it has the potential to be a VGA. --Eptalon (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
First line needs amending because architecture is singular not plural. I won't change straightaway as rest of sentence will have to be restructured with matching description. JDE 92.5.179.254 (talk) 21:45, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
At end of introduction there is a linguistically confusing switch between Gothic & Gothic Revival:
In the 19th century, the Gothic style became popular again, particularly for building churches and universities. This style is called Gothic Revival architecture.
should be something like:
In the 19th century the Gothic style became popular again. This led to many buildings of that time, particularly churches and universities, being built in a style called Gothic Revival architecture.

Personally, I think the system of displaying the illustrations does them no credit, and I would never have used it myself. The tiny postage-stamps have to be enlarged tediously one by one, and then you lose the text that goes with them. It's a horrible system. After a few early attempts I gave it up years ago. But the selection of the examples is fine. Maybe the span of time is too great. IMO if we touch this at all it is not just a tweak here and there. It has an inner consistency, and I can live with its weak spots. The time devoted to polishing buttons might be better spent making more buttons. Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:29, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Since this is now only about churches (cathedrals actually), what do we do with all the castles, plalaces, and town halls,that were built in gothic style?- Do we add them to this article, or do we put them into another one? I have added a gallery of examples below.--Eptalon (talk) 11:15, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Reading the proposed demotion discussion, I agree that a vast number of sentences in this article lack inline citations. I can't understand why inline citations aren't required. This makes me question if the many books listed in the bibliography section are actually being used, and if there is original research in this article. Furthermore, the books that are included in the inline citations lack specific page number (such as Banister Fletcher, A History of Architecture on the Comparative Method
and Wim Swaan, The Gothic Cathedral
). This makes the verification process rather difficult. Wow (talk) 03:27, 13 June 2023 (UTC); edited 00:15, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
At the time of this writing, the last citation in this article says Freiburg, Regensburg, Strasbourg, Vienna, Ulm, Cologne, Antwerp.
Is this supposed to be a set of examples of the enormously large
German towers and spires that are sometimes so big that it was impossible to finish them until modern times
? If so, then this article lacks consistently formatted inline citations. Wow (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
There is bad grammar on the main page. It says "Gothic cathedrals is a style of architecture used for buildings in Western Europe during the Middle Ages." That's kind of embarrassing for the main page of Simple Wikipedia, so can somebody fix it? 2607:FB91:118:C4BB:9576:42C:93E7:B285 (talk) 01:58, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
