Stormbreaker Series[edit]

The SIS building doesn't feature in the books, to the best of my knowledge. The headquarters building for Special Operations in the series is in a "bank" on Liverpool Street. As such I've removed the entry untill someone can provide evidence of it's appearance in one of the books. 86.9.213.112 (talk) 19:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on SIS Building. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Attempted to fix sourcing for http://edition.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/09/21/britain.mi6.building/index.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
