message: I lived in Warsaw for 2 years and the locals would always tell the story that they were given a choice between a subway and a monument to Stalin. They choose the subway and got this. Is there any credence to this anecdote? 74.174.34.170 (talk) 12:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "As the city's most visible landmark, the building was controversial from its inception. Many Poles initially hated the building because they considered it to be a symbol of Soviet domination, and at least some of that negative feeling persists until today. Some have also argued that, regardless of its political connotations, the building destroyed the aesthetic balance of the old city and imposed dissonance with other buildings.
However, over time, and especially in recent years, Warsaw has acquired a number of other skyscrapers of comparable height, so that the Palace now fits somewhat more harmoniously into the city skyline. Furthermore, since Soviet domination over Poland ended in 1989, the negative symbolism of the building has much diminished."

message: It is my intention, unless there are objections, to remove the reference to this building formally being the tallest clock tower in the world as it does not conform to the definition of clock towers in the article of that name in wikipedia. Robynthehode (talk) 00:43, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Clock tower page says : Many clock towers are freestanding structures but they can also be adjoining or on top of another building. Therefore it conforms the definition. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:19, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In your zeal of revert war you didn't notice that I changed the phrasing: PoCaS is not a clock tower; it is a building with clock tower.  Anyway, tyhe sentence was unreferenced, and I will restore it only when I find a reference. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:57, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

The HDR on it is very badly done and I doubt the picture accomplishes anything.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by E.byratino (talk • contribs) 18:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
