[edit]"In 1685 the Banqueting House became the first building ever to use crown glass in its windows." Shouldn't this read 'the first English building...'? By 1685 most of Versailles was glazed with crown plass wasn't it? References are always good supports for unusual statements User:Wetman
- I think you're right. From Crown glass (window), the French were making crown glass centuries earlier, but kept the process secret. I adjusted the text accordingly.--Srleffler 18:44, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Heading change
[edit]The former heading Banqueting House at Whitehall took cognizance of the fact that there were other "banqueting houses" in 16th and 17th century England. A move to a new heading should always follow some research. --Wetman 18:10, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The former name may be very pretty, but it is not the commonly-used name of the building ("Banqueting House, Whitehall" would be better, for example). Policy is to use the most common name for something unless this conflicts with an extant article, barring a (very, very) few exceptions. This is not one of them.
