Talk:Princeton University Chapel

Stillwell's book
I'm having trouble finding reliable sources for many of the Chapel's architectural features. For example, the best I source I've found to confirm the Chapel's dimensions (pretty fundamental data if you ask me) is Sara Bush's writeup, which cites contemporary accounts of plans released in 1921. Who knows what changed about the plans in the seven years before it was finished? Many of the references cite Richard Stillwell's book on the Chapel, which I expect would provide great background on the Chapel's architecture and help flesh out the Architecture section into something more respectable. I implore anyone with access to a copy to put it to use here! Lagrange613 (talk) 19:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I managed to get my hands on a copy. It's certainly not exhaustive; it self-identifies as a guide for visitors. Its emphasis isn't exactly what we might have hoped for, but it will definitely help. I'll be contributing based on what I read over the next few days. Lagrange613 (talk) 06:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Lead
Following the request for quality assessment at WikiProject Architecture, some comments below: The article is comprehensive and well researched. What needs improvement is the lead. It should be more comprehensive and clear. Some minor points: Hope this helps. --Elekhh (talk) 23:59, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Prose: "University" repeated 3 times right at the start
 * Intro: style of "English church of the Middle Ages" - I think Collegiate Gothic is the more accurate description.
 * "third-largest university chapel in the world" - In what way largest? area, height, volume, length, capacity?
 * Maybe the architect could be mentioned in the lead as well.
 * Thanks for assessing the article and the excellent suggestions. I changed the first sentence and referred to the architect. I added Collegiate Gothic but used the bit about a small English cathedral of the Middle Ages to establish size in the lead. The Office of Religious Life doesn't say what "third-largest" means. I can't think of a way to put it into the lead without reiterating the whole "Relative size" section, so I just removed it. Thanks again! Lagrange613 01:44, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
