Talk:Temple Square

Color image
It sure would be nice to be able to use this image since it's representative of what the temple looks like today and is in *gasp* color(!). But I couldn't find a way to work it into the article condsidering its (short) length. Anyone else have any creative ideas? &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 15:59, May 27, 2005 (UTC)


 * That picture is already on the Salt Lake Temple page since it only depicts the temple and not the whole temple square. Nice to hear that you like that picture, I am the one who took it :). BigBen212 19:56, 27 May 2005 (UTC)


 * What about a picture of Temple Square during Christmas, since that is when many of the tourists arrive (to see the lights)? Sylverdin 22:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * That would be great, but I don't see one over at Wikimedia Commons. Perhaps Zaui has one he is willing to contribute. --Lethargy 23:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Adding a link
I was wondering what the group would think about my adding a link to an on-line tour of temple square to this article. The link is located at http://www.allaboutmormons.com/templesquare.php. I should disclose that I am the creator of the site, which is why I wanted to make sure it was alright with the group before posting the link myself. I hope I've proceeded appropriately, as I'm new to Wikipedia and don't understand all of its policies.


 * We generally discourage people from adding links to their own sites--it is usually called "spamming" here. But your site looks generally free of ads, so I wouldn't oppose adding it.  But wait for others to respond. &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 22:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't have any problem with it, but some others might. --Lethargy 22:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll wait a little longer to see if more people respond. I should mention that my site is sponsored by a non-profit organization and so is ad-free. Thanks.

It's been a few days since I posted this request and I've only gotten positive responses. I'm going to go ahead and post the link. Please let me know if anyone objects. Thanks.

Temple Square Plot
I think it would be worth including this plan view of the square. uriah923(talk) 22:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Reorganization
I think this article needs to be completely reorganized. What does everyone think about the following? Feel free to expand/modify. If I don't hear anything in a day or so, I'm going to start implementing it. uriah923(talk) 23:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro
 * History
 * Modern usage
 * Tourism
 * General Conference
 * Lighting
 * Sites
 * Salt Lake Temple
 * South Visitors Center
 * Assembly Hall
 * Salt Lake Tabernacle
 * North Visitors Center
 * Family History Library
 * Deuel Pioneer Log Home
 * Museum of Church History and Art
 * Conference Center
 * Relief Society Building
 * Church Office Building
 * Brigham Young Historic Park
 * Mormon Pioneer Memorial Monument
 * Social Hall Heritage Museum
 * Beehive House
 * Lion House
 * Church Administration Building
 * Joseph Smith Memorial Building
 * See also
 * Notes and references
 * External links


 * I think the list of all the sites is a good, if rather extensive, idea. At the present time, I would suggest perhaps consolidating some of the sites into one.  Some of them might be placed under subheadings such as: Administration Buildings (for the Church Ofice and Church Administration building), Historic Pioneer Buildings (for the Log Home, and the Lion and Beehive Houese).


 * Also, what is Wikipedia's policy on including information on a page when there is already a page about that item (for example, the Salt Lake Tabernacle). Should there at least be a small paragraph explaining what it is with the link to the main article included?  What do you think? Sylverdin 22:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Per Wikipedia styleguide, I think that the table of contents is far too long. I have condensed it quite a bit.  I still think we can condense it more without losing any important information. Sylverdin 23:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
