Unusual picture[edit]

The picture in the article shows an extremely rare architectural style - there must be virtually no one story terrace houses with dormer windows apart from those photographed. Could not a more typical house-with-dormer-windows be illustrated? 80.2.204.80 (talk) 14:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, so have replaced it with an existing photo on Commons showing dormers in relation to the greater facade. -- Trevj (talk) 08:40, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

McMansions[edit]

This has got to be POV.... but regardless, why would you build a false dormer? An explanation would be valued. Leushenko (talk) 01:30, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Readers of this article want to know...[edit]

...is it pronounced "dome-er" or "door-mer". 67.246.33.203 (talk) 15:53, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved this phrase[edit]

here, cut out from the article:

" (also known as an "eyelid" dormer)"

It was in the "shed dormer" section. The two terms are not interchangeable. I will look for a definition of "eyelid dormer" and reintroduce the term in the article. Soon. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 23:51, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal[edit]

Lucarne, which is really a subset of a dormer, should be included in this article. It does not merit a separate entry, which has almost no content anyway. Bangabandhu (talk) 17:41, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I have merged the articles. MonmouthMan (talk) 00:49, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Text and/or other creative content from Lucarne was copied or moved into Dormer on 24 May 2016. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Half-dormer[edit]

Over 100 articles use the term "half-dormer". I came here to find out what it means, but the term is not mentioned. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:32, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
