Move

[edit]

Shouldn't this moved to the Church of Saint Irene? --Ghirla | talk 14:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why? It is the most famous building of this name. Literature about the Byzantine Empire uses this name. --Valentinian 10:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I posed the question when the article still sat at Saint Irene Museum. I have moved the article to its present name since then. I'm still concerned about the propriety of the name for Ayasofya museum, however. --Ghirla | talk 10:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A bit belated and it's fixed now, but "Saint Irene" isn't really accurate anyway, since the church is dedicated to Holy Peace (or Divine Peace), not to a saint named Irene ("hagia" literally means "holy", though it's also used as an honorific for saints). Much like Hagia Sophia is dedicated to Holy Wisdom, not to a saint named Sophia. --Delirium (talk) 10:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Techinically Saint could be used as it means Holy coming from Sanctus but in English that would be confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.49.44 (talk) 01:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually shouldn't this be moved to "Hagia Irene, Constantinople" or "Hagia Irene, Istanbul" considering there are multiple churches with this name? Same goes for "Hagia Sophia". Gryffindor 19:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. (Yes, I know that this is an over two year old question, but they have a habit, if not answered, of inspiring people to make mistakes.) oknazevad (talk) 02:58, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding in detail

[edit]

Hi there, I was thinking of adding some more detail to this page because it's a little sparse. I had a few ideas of adding in some more information about its architecture and it's overall history and what it's been used for. These some of the sources I am going to be using: Pyhrr, Stuart. W. "European Armor from the Imperial Ottoman Arsenal." Metropolitan Museum Journal, vol. 24, 1989, pp. 85-116

Hello. I am doing quite a bit of restructuring to this article, as there is not a whole lot of detail on the church itself before it was turned into an armory/museum by the Ottomans. Will summarize the edits once I have made them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KandersonILSTU (talkcontribs) 05:13, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
