I have moved the article back to "Kingdom Hall". The article was previously moved by User:Mikhailov Kusserow to "Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses" without consensus (twice the same day, after being reverted User:Alexander Moritz), with the claim that "A Real Name. I have been changed it to all Wikipedia" [ sic].
Per WP:NAME, the current name is concise, only as precise as it needs to be, and is the common name. Jehovah's Witnesses' Watchtower Library CD uses the term "Kingdom Hall" nearly 7000 times, but "Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses" only about 200 times.-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 23:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I suggest to place one of the best image at the top as It was before. See the Church (building) article for example. Only extra images are placed at gallery-- Logical Thinker: talk 11:18, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I have moved the second 'meeting' picture into the Uses section. However, it would add a little more balance if one of those 'meeting' pictures were removed and a picture relevant to construction (e.g. a half-built KH) were placed in the Construction section instead.-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 10:08, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
the phrase "Kingdom Hall" is an almost exact translation of the Latin (from Greek) basilica, the hall where royal business was conducted. Is this a coincidence? -- 199.91.207.3 ( talk) 22:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be some notable dispute over the subject of whether Kingdom Halls are or are not built with a specific room dedicated to be used for child discipline. Some sources, such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Spanking-Room-Jehovahs-Witnesses/dp/1579219659 seem to indicate this, but word of mouth such as http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/196639/1/The-spanking-room seem to make the subject disputable. Perhaps it is worth mentioning, if someone could post a more erudite segment about it or two? Justin.Parallax ( talk) 19:21, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
According to info I got from an elder, blue JW.ORG-signs are going to be a global policy. For meanwhile how about like this:

Information has been added about recent changes to the way Kingdom Halls are to be constructed and funded. I have copyedited the new material, but sources are still required for the changes. The information is based on official statements that have been leaked, but I haven't located a specific source that can be cited, as it has been reported on various blogs and forums. Does anyone have a specific source in line with Wikipedia guidelines for reliable sources that the new information can cite? Or can we have further discussion about a) whether the leaked video can be cited as a source, and if so, how it would be cited.-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 03:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
