Talk:Congregation Beth Israel (Meridian, Mississippi)

Previous discussions
There were previous discussions supporting development of material now in this page, at Talk:Beth Israel Cemetery (Meridian, Mississippi) and perhaps also at User talk:Doncram and User talk:Dudemanfellabra. The section on the cemetery was largely developed by Dudemanfellabra while the material was at Beth Israel Cemetery (Meridian, Mississippi), which redirects to the section of this article now. ( Great pics of the shoes on the grave and the fainting couch one, by the way! )--doncram (talk) 16:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Development
The article seems very good! I like the revised cemetery section with its additional pictures now, illustrating the Victorian funerary art theme. Two small gnits:
 * About the synagogue, i wonder if there is some small refinement needed to avoid reader confusion about the front vs. back of the building. If the front is the one shown below, labelled as front, then is the pic at the top of the article actually the back of the building?  Maybe if there were an additional perspective view of the whole building from further back, it would be clear what are the relationships, and no wording would need to be changed anywhere.  I don't want to suggest heavy-handed labelling, it just is minorly confusing if one focusses on this.
 * About the glass used from the bombed building, i assume that there are shattered glass fragments, not whole panels surviving? If it is fragments, are those included in lower sections in the first or 2nd tiers that, from afar, could possibly be composites?  Or, maybe those lower sections are rock walls or something, and the glass is only in the larger panel sections above.  The larger panels here could possibly still be small relatively to larger panels at the former building.  Basically i have no idea where the glass from the bombed building was used.  I dunno if an arrow added to the pic of the front of the synagogue is needed, or if it could be addressed less heavy-handedly in the text. --doncram (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If you look closely in the infobox picture just to the left of the handicapped parking sign, you can see the red beams shown in the picture of the windows. The concrete monument visible in the foreground of the window shot is also visible in the infobox just to the right of a bush and kind of behind a pole in the walkway. Both shots are of the front of the building.
 * If you look closely at the window shot (click on the image to bring up full size), you will see that the windows are pieced together like stained glass windows. I assume that there are shards in there from the original education building, but there may very well be entire panels. The source doesn't specify, so I just took a picture of the entire front window scheme haha.. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 16:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, i see they are the same end of the building. Who says it is the "front" though?  The front of a protestant or catholic church, when you're looking at a building from outside, might be considered the steeple end, facing the street.  But inside, the front of the church is the far end from the street, and then if u think of it that way the front of the church from the outside also should be the far end from the street.  Maybe avoid usage of "front" everywhere, and just label the top pic as a "viewed from the southwest" (if that is accurate) and label the closer-up pic as a "closer view from the west" (if that is accurate). --doncram (talk) 17:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. A little semantic... but I see what you mean :P. And dang dude.. that was a good job with the cardinal directions haha. Was that a guess? Pretty good one! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 17:19, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * maybe i am closer than u think? i have a lot invested here, so why wouldn't i be visiting.  or maybe i am from here?  u r slow to pick up.  do u kno Mike Davis by the way. --doncram (talk) 18:08, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ha. No, I don't know Mike Davis. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 19:34, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
