Talk:The New York Times Building

message: While I appreciate there are items that must be addressed before Times Building will be wholly and completely finished, I believe that the text can describe the building as "completed", regardless of whether an external hoist has been dismantled.  The building is now occupied and as such should be described as such for readers.  Jaedglass 20:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have made the changed previously suggested: changing tense where appropriate, removing unnecessary minutiae in the introduction and tenants sections, and clarifying thoughts in the Background section. I believe the changes make the article more encyclopedic, less prone to becoming dated, and a clearer read. Jaedglass 02:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is there a section in this article called climbers? It seems to be only very superficially related to the building. I can imagine an article called "urban climbers" or something that would talk about people who climb buildings illegally, but adding a section to every building's article is pretty silly. maxsch (talk) 21:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to some informal Google news archive searches, 25% of all stories ever written about the building are about or at least mention the climbing incidents :-) I agree an entire section is overblown, but a sentence or two would be warranted. --Rividian (talk) 00:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I concur with the sentiment that the section on climbers needs to edited. I believe that this section focuses to much attention on the causes of these climbers.  This seems like an attempt to create a forum for the political views of the climbers, which is not relevant to an article on this building. However, the building has proven to be a draw to a number of climbers - either because of its design or because a high-profile media organization is located inside - and that general fact does seem relevant to a complete article on the building.Jaedglass (talk) 02:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

text: The climbing feat is notable within the parameters of Wikipedia. If professional readers or researchers like the Police would read Wiki, to research on these legal matters, inter alia, preserving this climbing thing would, in the future benefit Wiki readers. It is nonsense to contemplate climbing as petty thing. It is encyclopedic. --Florentino floro (talk) 12:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I do agree that the climbs are notable, my issue is with their relevance to this article. I think a short section along the lines of what Jaedglass said, that the building has proven to be a draw to a number of climbers, would be reasonable. maxsch (talk) 13:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Precisely, Wikipedia articles are not static. Most of them rather, like stubs and start-classes metamorphose into great articles. Example:Bulacan State University which was created by a not so good Wiki editor, and later, after I added Bulacan Courts, with just 2 sentences - look, now, with BSU's great Information Technology students, BSU article is state of the Art. So, it is just a matter of style. Some editors like me, would like longer edits, since many links would die in time due to pay-per-view markets. So, it is better that other editors would trim my edits than I would add very little. Get the point? I suggest further, that instead of daily editing all my edits, you can contribute to Philippine movie articles which are very very poorly written without references. Parenthetically, if you would later contribute well and learn to edit Wikpedia stye, and, if you, like me - a "Most Excellent Grognard, Yeoman Editor" would be later entitled to this kind of editor thing, then you can command with Wiki authority. But as of now, please remain calm. --Florentino floro (talk) 07:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't know how to edit a page, so I'd just like to suggest that you add a small sentence near where you describe the interior garden to Cornelia Hahn Oberlander who already has a page in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelia_Oberlander. She's an important landscape architect and is the namesake for the Oberlander Prize: https://www.tclf.org/prize. And the landscape architect for the garden in the building.
