Some feedback, and a few more editors working on this article would be nice. Volunteers appreciated. - Selket Talk 20:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 9, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far.
This has a good start to it, but it needs to go broader in coverage with more sources. It just needs some more sources and possibly more help for ideas to improve it. Improve on the above issues before nominating again. -- Nehrams2020 22:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi everyone! I've been working on an overhaul of the Airlock article, and as part of that project I plan to modify this article as well. I want to move some of the info from the "Similar mechanisms" section of the Airlock article into this article, because most of the items in there are actually better described as functions of a vestibule - but I didn't want to just dump it all in here without putting some thought into it, so I made a rough plan:
While I'm working on moving the info over, I figure it would also be helpful to add a section and rearrange this article a little to focus more on the actual functions of a vestibule before going into the types of buildings that utilize them. The info coming from Airlock will be primarily focused on practical functions, and in my opinion this article doesn't currently nail down the various functions of a vestibule very effectively, so this seems like a good time to consolidate that info into one place to better orient the reader to understanding why vestibules are used in specific buildings.
I also plan to add sources to back up this info, of course :)
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or feedback! Doomhope ( talk) 20:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Update: For now, I'm moving the things from the Airlock article that I'd like to add here to this talk page.
1. Some jewelry stores and banks have airlock-like security doors to slow the escape of thieves.
2. Butterfly farms and aviaries usually have an airlock-like entrance to prevent the exit of inhabitants and entrance of predatory species.
3. * Planetariums and photographic dark rooms may have "light-locks" to minimize outside light, protecting occupants' sensitive dark adaptation and preventing light from fogging light sensitive photographic film or paper. These pairs of doors also reduce outside sound. [1] [2]
