Third tallest or fourth tallest
Is the Burj Al Arab the third or the fourth highest hotel of the world? Wikipedia says the third highest, but the following website says the fourth highest, what is correct ? http://inhabitat.com/world%E2%80%99s-highest-tennis-court-was-a-green-roof-atop-the-burj-al-arab-in-dubai/burj-al-arab-tennis-court-2/--Skyscraper1996 (talk) 19:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
The link has actually changed. Here is the correct one: http://inhabitat.com/world%E2%80%99s-highest-tennis-court-was-a-green-roof-atop-the-burj-al-arab-in-dubai/--Skyscraper1996 (talk) 17:49, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Current pic doesn't seem to give it enough credit

lots of issues | leave me a message 00:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I agree that the current photo at the top is pretty dull, considering the splendor of the building, but I haven't been able to find one that Wikipedia would be allowed to use. There were some decent ones here, I think, but I'd rather have a poor photo than a somewhat better photo with a copyright pasted onto it. My reading of the license was that removing it would be a violation, even if the creator were still given credit. By the way, the lovely pool photo later in the article is almost surely a copyright violation, too. I just haven't found a good site that appears to have the original. —HorsePunchKid→龜 01:43, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
Construction cost
Someone doubled the figures of the cost of the hotel project. I am reverting the change. Until some source "confirms" the 2 billion US$ figure (other than "hear-say" from concierge or any other hotel staff), a Forbes article (see first paragraph) suggests otherwise.--Logariasmo 15:23, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Inside Burj Al Arab tour
The Burj Al Arab was first opened to non-guests on 15 October for a tour called Inside Burj Al Arab.[1][2] I don't know how to include this here - more specifically, what section this should be included in. Also, more info is sought on whether this is permanent or temporary. Thanks, Caehlla2357 (talk) 17:09, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Burj (Building) Height
I am confused on the Structure/Building Height, is it with the Antenna (topmost) or lower?...editing wait — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.53.185.85 (talk) 06:13, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
J-class yacht
Section "Design and construction": The everyday words "sail" and "ship" were linked to their articles, but "J-class yacht" was left for the reader to figure out. I linked it to the corresponding article. Thnidu (talk) 02:09, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
Carlos Ott claims
Apparently, Carlos Ott claims to have come up with the original concept for the design of the Burj al Arab,[1] but we have only his word for this. Is there any reliable source to back this claim. If not, I would remove Ott's claim, or at best, relegate it to a footnote, rather than claiming the prominent first paragraph of the "Design" section.
