"Stokie" edit
The lawsuit section references the village of "Stokie". I think this may refer to Skokie, since after clicking the Stokie link, surprised at this gap in my Chicagoland knowledge, I was taken to a page about a London borough.
What about the CN tower? edit
The CN tower was built in the 70s and was the world's tallest building for a while. I think there is a lot that's factually wrong with this article. 70.24.149.45 (talk) 14:10, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think there's anything that's factually wrong with this article. The CN Tower is not considered a building by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) or Emporis, according to the tower's own article. The Willis Tower#Height section of this article also mentions the distinction between "tallest building" and "tallest structure". – Epicgenius (talk) 15:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- The CN tower was the world's tallest free standing structure, not the world's tallest building, due to the fact that most floors on the building are inhabitable. Piemadd (talk) 12:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. Presumably you mean "uninhabitable", "Inhabitable", strangely, means the same thing as "habitable" or occupiable, which the CN Tower (for the most part) is not.– Epicgenius (talk) 14:36, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed.
Height edit
It is wrong to not include the antenna height in the total height in this article while including the antenna height in the One World trade Center article and then again in other articles which list the heights of both building. Consistency is required. Either list One World Trade Center as shorter or list both heights with their respective antennas. 71.58.30.184 (talk) 21:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

"Outside the building, there was originally a 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) plaza made of pink granite.[158] In the late 2010s, a three-level wing was built along the western and southern sides of the tower replacing the tower."
