Lead

  • "Buildings" is linked twice. Do we really need a link for this? Even if this is an architecture-related article?
  • " Islamic architecture" is also linked twice
  • One may not understand spatial forms at once.
  • from the Pythagoreans onwards How long ago would that be?
  • You may link "mausoleum", "hyperbolic"
  • conveying a message about Hindu cosmology Leaves the reader wondering what the message would be. Could you add a word or two on that? Else remove it and mention it only in the main text.
  • What does "secular" convey here? In whose opinion are they so?
  • I wonder if this needs AE or BE. We have instances of both in the article. An FAC issue, though ...
  • Ancient Rome "A" needs no caps if "ancient Egypt/Greece" don't do either
  • At the end of the nineteenth century Put it in either words or digits throughout the article. Elsewhere you say 21st, not words.

Connected fields

  • I think this section should be called "Connection between fields"
  • Michael Ostwald and Kim Williams Who are they? You can add the author info from the cited source.
  • connected, architecture I think we need a semicolon or hyphen here
  • architecture being a profession concerned with the practical matter of making buildings, mathematics being the pure study of number and other abstract objects I think we can use "while on the other hand" or something to bring out the contrast more effectively. Commas seem lackluster.
  • being the pure study of number Number"s"?
  • the extra syllabus became the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy Should this rather be "the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy became the extra syllabus"?
  • Link antiquity, geometry (only at first mention, presently linked at the second one), grammar, logic
