The article is very descriptive in terms of its physical features and the contents within the library. A few things to note: the "l" in library of Celsus at the beginning of the article is not capitalized. Also adding headings will make the article appear more organized and flow smoother. Though the physical description is great and I have no recommendations for improvement upon it, it dominates the entire article. Perhaps organizing the historical significance into one main paragraph separate from the physical description would be more clear. Also separating the distinctive parts of the physical descriptions into subheadings would help, such as amount and cost of books, architecture, etc. You might also want to explain how exactly the Greeks influenced Roman architecture using examples within the article. Great pictures and very well-written. Good use of the "See Also" section as well. -Kevin Carey

great use of description and details. one thing you could expand upon is the actual scrolls housed in the library. what was on them? how were they organized, by author, by subject? also, what types of people were allowed into the library? how did they check things out, or were the scrolls not allowed to leave the library? this all might be unnecesarily specific, if you cannot answer these questions, don't sweat it. good work. -- Mark Nilsson

The article is very well written and is very informative. The organization is very good and makes the article easy to follow, but I do agree that section headings would be helpful as a reference to the reader and make it even smoother. Beyond that, I would agree with Mark that you might want to elaborate a bit more on the contents of the library, and also who its patrons might have been. One additional thing might be to give some information as to its orientation in Ephesus. -Peter Moore

Why is it in ruins?

Well, that's my question; why is it in ruins?, was it war? time? a natural catastrophe? the communists? Or perhaps the good-old-ever-vandalizing christians? Whatever the answer is it is important to include it in this article, I don't ask it just because I don't have anything to do.Alejandro Alatorre Vargaslugo (talk) 02:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Fate of the scrolls?

The article omits to mention what happened to the 12,000 scrolls and thereby implies that the scrolls are still there.--Auric (talk) 13:08, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
