Badgir is not an Arabic word. The article is factually incorrect.--Zereshk 22:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I am also against merging. The architectural styles are quite different.--Zereshk 22:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Merge
editThe term "windcatcher" for the "other" type of wind tower is completely made-up. E.g. in the UAE, where this (here so-called "Iranian") type of wind tower is common, they are only called "wind tower", almost never "wind catcher". (Simply compare [1] with [2].) Although the architectural styles may be different, they function the same way, they bear the very same name in English, and probably even in Arabic (both articles say "Badg(h)ir"). I strongly favour merging them into one single article and within this article you may distinguish between the Bahrain style and the "Iranian" style (btw. I doubt that "Iranian" fits here - they can be found all around the Gulf). Hence I re-added the merge tag. -- H005 14:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Unless anyone objects, I will merge the contents of this page into Windcatcher. We can work out a suitable name for the resulting page at any time. Tom Harrison Talk 20:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Description
editThere is no description of the specific design or physical structure of a wind tower.
