It's the second largest mosque in the world, after the Faisal Mosque ? I thought the Masjid al-Haram was the largest mosque. MP (talk) 19:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Lonely Planet book claims that the Hassan II Mosque is the third largest mosque in the world. Which one is it? (Antoine Smiley)

Masjid Al- Haram is undoubtedly the biggest mosque and the Masjid al Nabawi as the second but these mosques are not included because they will always be the biggest mosques in the world, that is why some people classify that the other mosques are large Abdullah Geelah 18:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Masjid Al- Haram might hold the most number of people, but that does not necessarily mean it is the largest. I guess it depends on what criteria is used. If Masjid Al-Haram is no.1, Masjid Al-Nabawi no.2, and you claim the Faisal mosque is larger than Hassan II Mosque, does that make Hassan II the fourth largest in the world???

Where is the glass floor? I was at the mosque recently and did not see any glass floor.130.243.248.165 (talk) 14:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is considerable dispute about whether this is the fifth largest mosque in the world (fifth largest in what sense?). Probably worth removing this claim? Tffff (talk) 20:36, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article badly needs proofreadimg. Roof cannot be 60 kilometers high[edit]

According to this article "The retractable roof weighs 1100 tons and can be opened in five minutes; it measures 60 kilometres (37 mi) high and 3,400 square metres (37,000 sq ft).[18]" This must be a typo. If nobody objects I will fix this, but it makes me wonder if anyone ever verified the figures on this page. Andrew Hennigan (talk) 21:08, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article should never been passed to appear on the main page, it has so many problems. Malleus Fatuorum 21:27, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problems should have been mostly detected before it hit the main page I agree. I gave it a scrub earlier but missed that grave error! Such articles really need a full copyedit before they hit the main page, preferably before nomming. Citations where most needed were missing. In all fairness though the current version is considerably improved.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:49, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is, and hopefully it will improve further, as it's clearly a significant building. But once again DYK reviewers let through an article with a very clear copyright/plagiarism issue. That really needs to stop before the claims of reviewers like LauraHale that DYK is more rigorous than GAN raise anything other than an empty laugh. Malleus Fatuorum 22:25, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problem above all I think is the 5 day deadline for nomming. If that was relaxed, say to 10 days, then I'd get more of a chance to copyedit before nom. The article was mainly written by a non native English editor so I think considering it is a pretty good effort. But the article was intended as a collaboration and they shouldn't even be nommed until they've been fully copyedited but that's the 5 day problem resulting in a rush . I'll make a proposal on the DYK talk page.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:49, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Construction cost reference?[edit]

The article states that the construction cost is in betweek 400 to 700 million, but has no reference. Having taken the tour of the Mosque, the guide literally said "nobody knows the exact number, but the estimate is 2000-6000 million" (yes, 3 zeros, trying to avoid using billion/milliard in an english article as this is confusing).

So, either we need a reference, or maybe use what the official guide claims, or point out both?

Electronically Operated?[edit]

"electronically operated in the evening" - Meaning what? That it does contain electronics, like every other laser on earth? -- 84.132.154.198 (talk) 20:06, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
