== Colonnette as an architectural term ==


==Season's Greetings==
I've been trying to do some improvement of ] and come across the phrase "a deep entrance arch of six orders with Purbeck marble colonnettes and enriched mouldings to the arch". I have no idea what colonnette means, a quick search just seems to find "small column" (or possibly a type of tap), and I was wondering if you could help?&mdash; ] <sup>]</sup> 14:58, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

::@ ]: You'd know them if you saw them: they are used to convey lightness and elegance. Suposedly a feature of Gothic architecture, they are more often found in Byzantine. They are they indeed small, thin columns; on their own they are purely decorative and non load bearing, but sometime you see them in groups of four or more, and then they can be load bearing, sort of safety in numbers. you've got some being decorative, but beyond a bit of buttressing, not really doing much structurally even though they are pretending to support the blind arcade. demonstrates how useful they are standing alone as structural supports! they are en masse, taking a wight, but if you look carefully at the design, they are not really bearing a serious weight, but there is safety in numbers. they are closer together and taking more of a strain. Sometimes you will see them as a three of four (I can't find a picture) beneath one capital, then they are load bearing, but appear as one faceted column. They can also be the little stone columns that you see in large tracery windows. Hope this makes sense. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">]</span> ] 17:55, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

::{{ec}}:::Brilliant yes that makes a lot of sense (more than the sources I'd been looking at). I'm having trouble finding a good photo of the arch doorway (its generally in a lot of shade) but , or might help. Do you think they are decorative or structural (or a bit of both). Your comment about Byzantine got me thinking..... This end of the cathedral was designed by ] and completed in 1888 so Gothic revival, but could it have been influenced by ]?&mdash; ] <sup>]</sup> 18:19, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
::::They don't look like they are doing much structurally; I suspect they are pretending to support the ornamental tracery decorating the vault above them above them, but I doubt the vault itself would fall down completely if they were taken away anymore than it would if you chipped the tracery away - that isn't how vaults are built. Of course, I can't say for sure without really seeing them. To answer your second question: No, I don't think there's much influence of Bristol Byzantine in Bristol Cathedral; through Romanesque, there's Byzantine influence in most Gothic architecture, but not especially so there. Bristol Byzantine indeed - who thought that one up? Sounds like the Bristol Tourist Board may have had a hand in that. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">]</span> ] 08:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Giano. I am looking into our uses of the {{tl|bots}} and {{tl|nobots}} templates with an eye towards improving our documentation. Your user talk page was one of several that uses both templates in a meaningful way. At the top of your user page, you have '''<nowiki>{{bo</nowiki><nowiki>ts|optout=ifd, nolicense}}</nowiki>''' and then later you have the {{tl|nobots}} template. Is your intention to block all bots, but then because some bots might ignore nobots, you are attempting to catch those by also using the bots template with specific parameters? Or is there another behavior that you intend? Thanks. --] (]) 20:47, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
