message: The PDFlink template won't work right inside a citation template.  But there's another way: add "format=PDF" to the citation template.  See Template talk:PDFlink#PDFLink with Citation Templates.  Fixed. --John Nagle (talk) 02:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Removed "Popular culture" section which promoted a recent movie. That's inappropriate, per WP:TRIVIA.  Especially when there's a "viral marketing" campaign underway for the movie.  --John Nagle (talk) 03:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: In the last image, of the building under construction, shows another large building under construction nearby. I can't seem to find this on google maps. Any idea what this building is? Maury (talk) 00:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like the Manhattan Municipal Building.  The construction dates match up, and if this photo was taken from the south (looking north-east along Broadway) then the positions match too.  The Manhattan Municipal Building is located to the east of the Woolworth Building, across City Hall.  Booglamay (talk) - 17:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The other building? 

message: Hello, I'm not sure who handles the updates on the Woolworth Building article.  I didn't want to make changes cause I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, but there was a bit of information I would like to ask to have added to the "In Popular Culture" section:  In the 1957 film "Twelve Angry Men", Juror 12 looks out of the window with Juror 8 at the beginning of the movie and points out, "Is that the Woolworth Building?" and comments that through all his life living in New York City that he's never been inside of it.  -TC (7/2/2013)

thread_title:  Info to add for the IN POPULAR CULTURE section: 

message: The article is written very much from a property dealer's / financier's point of view.
It gives only limited material on the architectural effort and philosophy, and even less about the structural approach and principles. The greatest disappointment to me is that the CONSTRUCTION of this early masterpiece is not even mentioned.  Who were the principal CONTRACTORS?  Which firm detailed and supplied the steelwork for the frame of this 100-year old skyscraper? What form of cranes were used to erect the structure? How many tons of steel (Was Milliken Brothers involved?), cubic yards of concrete, tons of marble and cladding, square feet of glass?  How many workers on site at the peak of construction? How many deaths?  
The names of the construction managers would be far more interesting (and deserved) than the identities of all the post-achievement parasites who profited from the end product.
Could some construction historian expand on the creation of this ground-breaking masterpiece? This article compares very poorly with e.g., the Wiki entry on the Golden Gate Bridge.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Questor74 (talk • contribs) 09:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Very few of the specific questions you asked about the construction are particularly encyclopedic in nature. You would expect to find them in a book about the building, but not in an encyclopedia article.  Mentioning the contractor would be fine, but the source for the steel is trivial. The stats on steel, marble etc. would make a passable single sentence, but that's about it. The architectural philosophy, on the other hand, is quite relevant, as it goes to the way the building looks.  If you have information on that, you should add it to the article.
