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)Reply

I guess you are right. — mark 17:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

There was I thinking that articles should be 'just descriptions', but apparently I was wrong. Not being a native speaker, I can't really judge the quality of the English, but I hope someone will come along to do a good copyedit. — mark 14:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • I've just grouped some sections together in a more logical division (description vs history). The "structure" and "visual aspects" sections seem to overlap in terms of theme and information, and should probably be merged in the future.
  • The "mosque today" section is currently unsourced, but it was once sourced; perhaps this can be rescued. That being said, however, the information seems misleading or subjective (even if it came from that source). e.g.: I have been to this mosque recently and other times before, and it is as frequently visited as the rest of the Citadel (which is a major sight). It's also not quite right to say that it looked essentially as it did in the 1300s: the marble paneling inside the mosque was removed long ago and only restored in one small section; maybe more nuance is needed here to describe the state of its preservation and the outcome of previous restoration efforts.

These are some initial observations; please discuss or add more. (If I have time, I will try to make some revisions myself in the future, if no one else does first.) Cheers. Casual Builder (talk) 17:21, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
