Photograph[edit]

Is there any way to add a more unflattering photograph? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.30.170.242 (talk) 20:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

There's some pretty obvious vandalism in the opening sentence, which reads: "Adrian Smith (born August 19, 1944) is an American architect who has an unusually small penis."

So I'm going to remove it. 16:58 GMT, March 5th, 2010

what about Crown Las Vegas?

where did he go to school? he designed the current worlds tallest building; I think wikipedia should at least have something regarding his education.

"Recognised"[edit]

It says he's "one of the most recognized architects in the world". That makes him sound like he has a reputation in the world of architecture as a designer, which I don't think he has. Even though there's a citation, it's a meaningless description (recognised how?), and I'm removing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JO 24 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijan Tower[edit]

Did he really project Azerbaijan Tower as stated in project section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.206.205.151 (talk) 17:48, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Recent expansion of Career section[edit]

The large amount of text recently added to the "Career" section appears to be informative, but reference citations are completely lacking. I am concerned that it may be a possible WP:COPYVIO if it was cut-and-pasted from somewhere else without proper permission. Also, it may need rewriting for WP:TONE. Reify-tech (talk)

Status of Jeddah Tower[edit]

In the article on the Jeddah Tower, the status is given as on hold. In this article, the status of Jeddah Tower is given as completion in 2020. It seems like both articles ought to say the same thing, and rely on similar sources. --Prairieplant (talk) 06:24, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
