i have a question..i visited pamukkale 2 years ago and the guide of our group told us that pamukkale's natural water is not existant anymore..so they take the water from the roman baths nearby..because of the fact that they can only fill a limited number of platforms, it is said that in maximum 40 years "the cotton castle" will no longer exist in the form it is in present...it will be just a rocky mountain..is that true?
the answer is yes andwater there's a misunderstanding, hotels and etc. around pamukkale use the water which is speacial actually and makes the pamukkale a real wonder.If they dont stop that, then yes, most probly my grandchildren will never learn about such a wonder.But as far as I know, last 3-4 years goverment have been trying to do something about that but it's all what i know.So maybe it can be saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Internet side http://olafzesewitz.de/gallery/tuerkei/pamukkale/ can supply meaningful supplementing pictorial material to the article. The pictorial material published there by me is not subject to restrictions of use in this format. The decision over screen selection, Upload and/or mounting an externally link on my web page I would like to leave to the authors of the article. --ozes
Why region is pointed as Europe and North America? Pamukkale is in Asian part of Turkey and Turkey belongs to both categories, Europe and Asia. So I think that region should be changed to Asia.
The reason is that for reasons having to do with Greek history and culture, modern Turkey (even the Asia Minor part), is not generally considered to be formally part of Asia and is assimilated with Europe when it comes to matter of historical heritage.--Svartalf (talk) 17:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
I was my understanding that galleries were not supposed to be in Wikipedia articles. (but kept in commons) An editor has added a category which points to this article as containing a video clip. If the gallery assumption is correct, this category should not exist. Student7 (talk) 11:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I read the article in the first (newest) link. Either the article suffers from translation or this is mostly nonsense. If they are running out of water, okay. But why didn't they say that? If they are running out of heat for the water, that is fairly serious and can't be restored, but they didn't say that either. The meeting topic, as reported sounds nonsensical.

The health section needs work. It makes some pretty extraordinary claims, citing no sources. This information should either be deleted or a reliable source should be found for it. Here's a quote: "It has a healing effect on heart diseases, atherosclerosis, blood pressure, rheumatism, eye and skin diseases, rickets, nervous disorders, nervous and physical exhaustion circulatory problems and furthermore when it is drunk, it is good for digestive maladies. Nevertheless it has diuretic effect and also effects expelling kidney stone/sand and urethra inflammation" Gary (talk) 03:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
This article is mostly plagiarized from a tourist site written in poor English which makes unbelievable claims of uncertain source about the health benefits of Pamukkale's water. I can't post a link because it is blocked; it appears on this list, and I found it by copy&pasting a poorly-written sentence from the article into Google. If the site is blocked, we probably should not use its information. Gary (talk) 17:13, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
The site used as source in the article is one prepared by the local government of the Denizli province. I proposed its removal from the blacklist. I think it contains some useful information about the museum, etc.(except the health section) Let´s see if it will be whitelisted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gminef (talk • contribs) 21:04, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
The article still has a high 92% copy violation as of Sept. 2020. Not sure if it should be cleaned up or TNT'd. since the prose is not great, and there is a lot of factual confusion as to the mineral content of the travertine formations. If anyone else is watching this article, and would like to discuss collaborating on clean up, please ping me. Thank you. Netherzone (talk) 15:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
The BBC has a good article today about this site including extensive discussion of the Ploutonion (misspelled in the Wiki article). A person with more time could turn this into article content and references.
