Talk:List of destroyed libraries

Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences (INION) (Moscow, Russia) - 31 January 2015
Is only partially destroyed about 15% http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/moscow-library-fire-destroys-rare-documents-in-cultural-chernobyl/story-e6frg6so-1227204108146

Seized isn't destroyed
All due respect, but the OWS 'library seizure' of shared books does NOT belong in this section. If it does, then this article suddenly needs, like, a thousand more additions of every stupid small shared collection of books which was taken or closed. DESTRUCTION. What is wrong with you people? It wasn't even a LIBRARY. Note, if it had been in a tent (likely) and someone had torched it, then it'd probably have a place here, but that didn't happen.

Thanks.

CHANGE "Prior to its destruction by Indian troops, the library hosted a vast collection of an estimated 20,000 literary works, including 11,107 books, 2,500 manuscripts, newspaper archives, historical letters, documents/files, and others mostly on Sikhism and in the Punjabi language but also on other topics and in other languages.[58][59] Its destruction could have been a desperate act on failure to locate letters or documents that could have implicated the then Indian government and its leader Indira Gandhi."

Wikipedia's "modern" layout
The new layout of Wikipedia has made large parts of this article difficult to scroll and read through. It would be better to reformat this with different levels of paragraphs instead of using a large table. - Anonimski (talk) 17:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
