Talk:Pool of Siloam
I propose to add one sentence to the end of the "Discovery in the 21st Century" section to note the intent to excavate the site and open it to the public. [1]
MOST OF THIS ARTICLE IS USELESS[edit]
repetition of discovery story, nothing about UPPER POOL and the Eudoxia church (what was there? now the City of David people attribute the column stumps to Herodian arcade), hardly any background... wish I had the time. Try harder please. Arminden (talk) 15:46, 25 September 2015 (UTC)Arminden
- I agree, there's just too much repetition and irrelevant information in here, article is more about other two pools, than the archaeological site of Pool of Siloam. Moughera (talk) 05:05, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
???[edit]
It's current, at least until BAR comes out with it's big spread two or so months from now, probably sooner. But this is hot news. --FourthAve 19:10, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- Shouldn't this be on the front page as a current discovery, or at least news release of a new discovery? --Noitall 19:14, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Updated against the BAR article. Some additional work is necessary.
Good recent edits. A couple comments:
- it is obvious the new edit tracks the BAR article, make sure it rewords, reorganizes the thoughts in that article
- need description for 1st and 2nd temple period
- Jesus info deleted, extremely important to Christians
- organize subjection into 1st temple period pool (plaster), 2nd temple period pool (upgraded, Jesus version, addition of plumbing, etc)

There is not much more I can add. Some additional stylistic tweeks are in order, though. Someone who has recently been to Jerusalem and visited the pool might be able to improve my comments on the present day pool. A copyright-free photo of the modern pool would be very much in order.
"Pool of Siloam" vs. "Pool of Hezekiah"[edit]
Those two pools are not the same, therefore I removed the following image:

Do it again, mate! Smb. found another pic of the same wrong pool. Arminden (talk) 15:42, 25 September 2015 (UTC)Arminden
- Why is Hezekiah's Pool in here as a separate section? This article is really confusing, discussing three different pools in three different eras. Except on of these none of the other two relate to the article.
