" triangular cliff" - what triangular cliff? I mean the name or something like that.

The cliff does not seem to have a special name.

"castellum Gorneas" - if it was the name, then please make C capital.

The C in castellum is not capitalized in the original source (Khatchadourian 2008). In any case, I've removed castellum because it doesn't add any value, it's just Latin for castle.

"Movses Khorenatsi" - who is he?

Clarified.

"Mennieay" and "Amateay" - their sudden introduction seems strange.

They are mentioned in an inscription and their titles are provided within brackets.

"Most scholars now" - Weasel words.

How is "Most scholars" a weasel word"? Clichés and idioms section clearly says "...use a term such as all, most, or two-thirds."

Grigor Tananyan - was he a historian?

He's a philosopher[4], but he seems to have written extensively on history.

"It is the only Greco-Roman colonnaded building or temple in Armenia and the former Soviet Union" claim[edit]

This claim is obviously inaccurate. It is not the only such building found within the territory of the former Soviet Union. At Olbia in Ukraine there is the colonnaded "Ionic temple of Apollo Delphinios". [5], Ionic referring to its columns, also described here as "a temple of Apollo Delphinios (30-35 x 16 m) of the 4th-2d c. completely surrounded by porticos of Ionian columns" [6].You can also find reconstruction drawings of the Olbia temple complex if you search Google Images. They depict a typical large colonnaded temple, with a smaller colonnaded temple standing close to it. The google images come from a PHD thesis "The material culture of the Olbia Pontika in the Northern Black Sea Region" by Stauros Christodoulou, but the source for the images according to the thesis is Minns, H.E. (1971). "Scythians and Greeks. A survey of ancient history and Archaeology on the North coast of the Euxine, from the Danube to the Caucasus", Biblo and Tannen, New York.Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 15:45, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That may be correct, but it is the only "Greco-Roman temple standing above ground in the entire Soviet Union." [7] This fact is unarguable, because as you pointed out the temple at Olbia is ruined. --Երևանցի ^talk 10:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Ionic-colonnaded"[edit]

@Ketone16:, the phrase "Ionic-colonnaded" is not as widely used as "Ionic temple", which is a standard way of describing ancient Greek temples with columns of the Ionic order.

Change image proposal[edit]

I think this image is more attractive and shows the surrounding better.

I'm proposing to change the image to this one. — [ kentronhayastan ]

Reverting title change: Garni Temple instead of Temple of Garni[edit]

The article was created as "Garni Temple" and moved to "Temple of Garni" in 2015. I hope local people might be able to tell us which one is the most used, but at least according to Google, "Garni Temple" has 118,000 results, against 62,000 to "Temple of Garni". Examples include:

https://www.lonelyplanet.com/armenia/garni-and-geghard/attractions/garni-temple/a/poi-sig/1135199/1342891

https://feelarmenia.com/tour-destination/garni-temple/ etc

Would anyone oppose reverting this article to its original title, "Garni Temple"? Thank you, Dan Palraz (talk) 18:48, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
