This page needs help with vocabulary. What does "generous masonry" actually mean? --Cantara 05:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Two more images for the commons[edit]

I found a pair of images of the GE building that I didn't recognize as such, until some research.

These were simply named "Gothic skyscraper, by the user.
And they belong in the commons category of this article.

Oh, if I only didn't lose the ability to transfer images to the commons. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 13:09, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Linking[edit]

@Beyond My Ken: could you explain your concern? You've reverted twice now without comment. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:37, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A standard place listing would be Address, City, State, United States. I've always felt that "United States" (or whatever country) was completely unnecessary when "world cities" such as New York, London, Paris, Berlin were involved, since these places are sui generis, so that leaves Address, City, State. A parallel arguement holds for "New York, City, New York", so that brings us to "Address, New York City". New York City is almost unique in the U.S. in that it is not contained within a county, or one county and parts of other, or is a city/county; instead, New York contains within itself 5 counties, most of which are as well known as the city itself, at least by their Borough name. So that brings us to Address, Borough, New York City. This is the ideal place identifier for places within New York City, the state and country being redundant. That's what's in the article, and that's what should stay there. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, that format -- Address, Borough, New York City -- is standard for buildings in NYC throughout Wikipedia. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:11, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
