Redress Article Pictures

I noticed that the vast majority of the houses depicted in the images at the top of the article are disproportionately ones in Romania, and do not sufficiently reflect a broader range of potential designs or historical examples of houses. I think this should be updated with different examples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:6000:144:6430:A2F0:B51A:7679 (talk) 23:21, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence History section

The first sentence of the History section strikes me as particularly weird. "Little is known about the earliest origin of the house and its interior, however it can be traced back to the simplest form of shelters." This is just not true. Archaeological research all over the world provides plenty of evidence for all kinds of houses from at least the Neolithic onwards, if not earlier. To give an idea, I linked to just one particularly fine example in Iraq from the fifth millennium BC. Some more work might be needed here. Zoeperkoe (talk) 09:08, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

History/medieval section

The "Medieval" subsection is very limited. It only talks about the houses of aristocrats (manor houses, Italian palazzo, Beaufort House, etc). Surely the far more numerous houses of the common people should be covered. (And if there is a reason not to, that should be stated). Iapetus (talk) 14:09, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
