I came here following the request at WikiProject Architecture. This is a well written and referenced article well following the MOS. Improvements could be made primarily in broadening the coverage: Hope these suggestions are of help. -- ELEKHHT 22:49, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Suggestions
 * A more detailed description of the original location and function in Miletus would be useful. I found descriptions like this which explains that it was the north gate of the south agora.
 * Illustration of the original context would be also useful, either as map (as in the previous link if you click on the red square) or an image of the model in the museum.
 * Probably worth splitting the history section into two or three: one section for the history in Miletus, and the other about the archaeological and restoration works.
 * What happened when incorporated in the defensive walls? The German Wiki article states that the side entries have been closed at that occasion (but source is unclear as there are no inline references there).
 * Description of the original building itself could be more detailed: what marble was used, etc.
 * What are the differences between the original and the current reconstruction? The German Wiki article indicated that the original might have had statues, but again exact source is unclear.

Legally robbed?
The German version of this article mentions that the gate was removed legally (with permission of the Turkish authorities) to Germany - that should me mentioned here, too. 93.206.162.215 (talk) 09:10, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
