I've just been to visit the temples and Hagar Qim is closed while they erect a monstrous tent over the top of it. I assume this is in order to counter erosion by wind and sun, but that's the end of photographs like those appearing on the wikipedia page. Is it worth updating the captions to the images to reflect the fact it no longer looks like that? Sweavo ( talk) 18:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
On what grounds does anyone date Hagar Qim to the period 3200-2600 B.C.? Have any skeletons been found? In 1839?
Ched, your edit to the Main Temple section is consistent with what's being expressed; the curtains would have served to further distinguish spaces within the temple, basically creating sacred spaces within a sacred space. Same goes for edits concerning the Niche. the roof of this court is too high to be yours ( talk) 04:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Very well done article. I've tried to tweak it a little - it's up to you if you wish to keep it as such, or revert back. Some suggestions I noted while going through the article (and I didn't redo it entirely) are:
basically, you have many of the references listed multiple times. I reformated the references for 5 - and used the ref name to show how to use in multiple places. So .. what was once ref 5 and ref 6, is now just two instances of ref 5.
I think the writing is very good, The topic is covered very well, and described in detail. You could probably tag it as a Class-C article and noone would argue. It would need some work to get to GA, but it's definatelly doable. If I have time I'll check back a few times over the coming days and try to help. Hope this helps ;) — Ched ~ (yes?) 05:34, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
What about reverting of the article move from Ħaġar Qim to Hagar Qin??? It is a ligt nonsence. 93.220.56.94 ( talk) 08:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian ( talk) 23:19, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Hagar Qin →
Hagar Qim — The title of the article is misspelt, as can be noted by reading the same article. The redirection from Hagar Qim to Hagar Qin should be reverted as it doesn't make any sense. --Clyde Ellul 21:47, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
I am a little perplexed by the sentence "No burials exist in the temple or the area surrounding Ħaġar Qim, nor have any human bones been discovered in Maltese temples.[13]". Either this is incorrect, or it is written by someone who does not believe the Ħal-Saflieni Hypogeum to be a temple (very large numbers of bones were found there). The source appears to say only that no evidence of human sacrifice has been found. But since the source also says that the temples "would have been centers for food distribution, healthcare, and education", perhaps it should anyway be treated with some caution?
