I hope someone will put up photos of some of the really elaborate examples, like Wolpa.Historicist (talk) 22:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Category:Synagogue architecture vs, Category:Wooden synagogues of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth
Category:Wooden synagogues of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth is itself a category within Category:Synagogue architecture. — Robert Greer (talk) 03:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Title
The original title was Wooden synagogues of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, which is entirely accurate. someone who knows nothing about the topic moved it to wooden synagogue, the singular is quite wrong, of course, but the title may be too brief. This is an article not about synagogues built of wood, but about a very specific architectural style that developed in a cerrtain centtury and region. Perhaps Wooden synagogues of Eastern Europe will satisfy. If anyone knowledgeable in Jewish history, architectural styles and article naming wishes to weigh in, I am open to comments.Historicist (talk) 01:28, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please look again at the article history. The title Wooden synagogues of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth is not and has never been the original title of this article although you probably meant something else (above), for example, that the article was supposed to be named that way as per Naming conventions (precision). Since you are the creator of the entire series of these articles, I trust your judgement with that regard. The scope of this article is clearly limited to Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth contrary to its present title. There are no wooden synagogues of any other former Jewish community mentioned here. Meanwhile, architectural styles are usually defined by the period in history, and not by political geography of today. The present title refers to the present day European borders. Is that sufficient? --Poeticbent talk  19:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
