I've just been expanding the article, adding amongst other things a chronology table anchored to the right. This has caused any images placed to the right to be pushed down under it and I've been forced to put them on the left of the page, as there doesn't seem to be any alternative besides omitting them. It's not an optimal solution, but functions except for the first image, which still seems out of place. Any better solution would be appreciated. -- spin control 12:26, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
The chronology table isn't formatted particularly well, but I don't know how to do away with some of the vertical padding to shorten it. -- spin control 12:26, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
8-April-2009: I have converted the top text, which uses an auto-thumbnail image, to use a floating-image table of auto-width. The typical Image-spec parameter "thumb|" (although auto-thumnailing to user-preference width) forces a wide left-margin that squeezes the top text, so the parameter "center|" is added to supress the left-margin padding. The new floating-image table is as follows:
{| style="float:right; margin-left:0.2em;" |- style="font-size:87%" | valign="top" |[[Image:DuraEuropos-TempleOfBel.jpg|thumb<!-- -->|center|The Temple of [[Bel (mythology)|Bel]].]] |}
That floating-image table floats a typical image-box, but allows adjusting the left-hand margin of the image. - Wikid77 ( talk) 22:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

There's a report that the site is being looted by merchant excavators from nearby countries under the supervision of the FSA according this article. Albeit, it's from what appears to be a pretty pro-government source, it should be looked into more. I found the report at the Syria Comment blog by Joshua Landis. -- Al Ameer son ( talk) 06:41, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

FYI. Just recently, a new edition of papyri translations has been published:
I presume this new set of primary source documents and secondary source analysis might be of use to anyone wanting to expand this article. Witty lama 21:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Gate of the Air redirects here, but is not explained in the article. Probably it should either be explained or the redirect deleted. -- Beland ( talk) 23:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
