[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Galle Fort. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Image question

[edit]

HiObi2canibe, can you a) please explain why are you replacing a better quality image by a worse quality one and b) in relation to this topic, respond to my statement on your talk page which remained unresponded so far? Thanks in advance. --A.Savin (talk) 23:36, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Restructuring 2022

[edit]

The past days I've been trying to restructure the article, making it more readable (I hope) and removing some redundant info. This is still a work in progress. The most difficult part is ensuring the references stay ok. If you have the time, maybe you can check them to make sure; a fresh set of eyes... --Judithcomm (talk) 19:59, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now only the gates section needs cleaning up. --Judithcomm (talk) 00:03, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dan arndt: Thought someone would say this. I cut the gallery in half. --Judithcomm (talk) 03:15, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Gates section is rewritten. I reinstated both gates as portcullised, because of one solid source (first edition 1938 or earlier, reprinted 2005). There is an endless series of websites saying the same, but I attach less value to these texts, since they seem to have been copied over and over. Inside the Main gate there is something like an empty slot for what I think could have been for the portcullis.
I am still looking for a good source explaining the meaning of the rooster and its link to Galle. So far I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_of_Barcelos and https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/Galle. --Judithcomm (talk) 19:41, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
