Obsolete text
This Encyclopedia Britannica article is obsolete and written in a subjective manner. I suggest it should be erased if no new information is added.--JFK 13:44, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree, let's go over it carefully one last time to see if there is anything salvageable for other articles, then make it into a redirect. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 14:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

I agree it needs cleaning up. Especially the "we miss it" at the beginning. Who's we? Well, who wants to get the soap out?Tourskin 23:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

This reference is cited in several wiki page, but it doesn't seem to exist ― it's suspect: Harmansah, Ömür (2007-12-03). "The Archaeology of Mesopotamia: Ceremonial centers, urbanization and state formation in Southern Mesopotamia". Nestashi (talk) 05:19, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * ?I found it very easily at, archived from Brown University, but it is class notes. The author is a very respectable expert though - see here. I've updated the link. Are you guys sure you know what you are doing? Johnbod (talk) 14:17, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

If anyone is ever feeling particularly bold:
There is the possibility of expanding this article or making multiple articles about the individual civilizations:. At the moment, the 3 civilizations redirect to Mesopotamia and the two styles (art and architecture) all redirect here. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 04:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Design of Assyrian buildings, fortifications and temples - Citations
I notice that the section "Design of Assyrian buildings, fortifications and temples" doesn't have any citations, and the style doesn't quite match the usual of Wikipedia. (I've been going through a lot of ancient history/prehistory articles lately, and there are quite a few guilty of this.) I've seen other people delete whole sections, but I'm loath to do this. I simply don't know where someone got the information from to add the citations for it. Talvieno (talk) 07:23, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Pls create redirect for "Mesopotamian architecture"

Merge Houses in ancient Sumer here
Note: Nominator should have started this discussion, but hasn't.


 * Support seems sensible. Who will do the merge? Johnbod (talk) 16:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I can do the merge and turn it into a redirect. But I'll wait a bit more; maybe someone else wants to comment as well. Zoeperkoe (talk) 05:34, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Great - I'd give it 10 days or more. Johnbod (talk) 15:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Did a crude merge into the houses section. Will do for now. Zoeperkoe (talk) 14:26, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
