Bad illustration[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

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)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't a commercial directory. Keeping in mind what the Wikipedia reader is looking for when searching "Walled garden"— Wikipedia is a reader service— quickly sidelines many avoidable errors. --Wetman (talk) 15:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stone vs. Brick[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Seriously? What is the purpose of this article? Is this some joke?[edit]

Most people probably look for Walled garden (technology), no further comment User:ScotXW^t@lk 08:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
