Talk:Walled garden

Bad illustration
That illustration shows what in the UK would be referred to as a courtyard garden, not a walled garden. Piccadilly 14:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've now removed it. Can anyone supply a picture of something that is unambiguously a walled garden? Piccadilly 14:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation
I think walled garden needs a disambiguation page becase also exists "walled garden_media". Sorry I don't have the necessary experience to do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.174.134.220 (talk) 09:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Stone vs. Brick
Page states:
 * Most walls were constructed from stone, but lining walls with brick, which absorbs and retains solar heat....

Stone absorbs and retains solar heat as well. This statement is unreferenced, and i suspect, not entirely true. Other than perhaps the dark color, brick's appeal in wall construction is its cost and visual appeal, not its ability to retain heat better than a stone wall. It seems suspicious that a stone wall would be bricked specifically for this function, other than to add more mass (and perhaps a dark color) for better heat retention at a lower cost than another layer of stone. Can anyone provide further explanation or clarification? BeadleB (talk) 19:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I too couldn't understand the rationale behind the line, so I've changed the wording so it states:
 * "Most walls are constructed from stone or brick, which absorb and retain solar heat and then slowly release it.."
 * This is more logical to me. Admittedly it's unreferenced, but then so was the previous wording. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 23:38, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Seriously? What is the purpose of this article? Is this some joke?
Most people probably look for Walled garden (technology), no further comment User:ScotXW t@lk 08:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The purpose of this article is the same as for any other: to describe the article subject. What is your basis for assuming to speak on behalf of "most people"? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 09:10, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
