Talk:Atlantic roundhouse

Round tower?
Why see also towers for Atlantic roundhouses? Only the broch towers - a small and largely unrepresentitive subset of the monument type - have ever been called towers, and they are not really towers anyway, as they were all wider than they were tall. Lianachan 15:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It is a general encyclopedia, someone interested in Atlantic roundhouses might also be interested in round towers. They are not that different from each other in a more general sense. -- Stbalbach 15:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I disagree. Round towers and atlantic roundhouses are separated in time, purpose, geographical distribution and architecture. You might as well add see also lighthouses, for all the relevance. A link in the broch page might be applicable, by your argument, but not here. This page is about atlantic roundhouses in general, not the tiny proportion of them that were tall.

 * It's just a "see also" to help readers find related articles which exist on Wikipedia. These are all very old stone round structures unique in the British isles (and Ire) for which not much history is known. I'm from the US and we just don't have things like this here, so they all seem kind of related to me. If you want we can "see also" on just Irish round tower and broch. The article is just a stub really it seems better to invest energies into expanding it then debate over see also's. -- Stbalbach 16:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The kinds of structures may seem related to you from a distance in the US, but I can assure you that they are not. I also think that the implication of a relationship by the nature of the very presence of such a link is potentially misleading to others who know nothing about the structures. You're right that there's definately no point in debating see also's, especially since relevance doesn't seem to be a factor. Never mind, I'll add more information to the article in the coming months as and when the opportunities arise. Lianachan 17:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
