Broken Course
Could anyone elaborate on what a broken course would be? Perhaps it coule be useful to include in this article.--Ducio1234 (talk) 01:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Sailor and Shiner Courses
Campanile: there are 2 more:  sailor and shiner courses. Rarely used, but how about adding them to your diagram and providing a caption for completeness. Thanks. Newell Post 23:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Stub
A nice little stub - has anyone seen Brickwork or Brick - I know courses don't have to be brick, but it might be nice to get some links from there to here, and/or incorporate more ideas of stone courses to justify the existence of this separate article. Perhaps a mention of 'band' courses with dentil or saw-tooth details? --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, its been over six years since you wrote this comment and the page has expanded, but your point remains relevant. Bangabandhu (talk) 04:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Rowlock description
Rowlock – A course with the long dimension parallel to the wall and the small face looking outward.

This doesn't make sense. The long dimension parallel to the wall describes a stretcher, a shiner, a soldier or a sailor, but not a rowlock. The small face looking outward describes either a header or a rowlock. In other words, both can't apply at the same time. For a rowlock the long dimension is in fact perpendicular to the face of the wall, but that is also true of a header. In fact the descriptions of all six orientations are difficult to visualise and the perspective drawing is too small. A much better picture is File:Brickpositions.PNG as used in the Brickwork article and on the right. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 16:58, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
