Talk:Binoculars Building

message: 19/10/08: Deleted misinformation about the binoculars housing conference rooms or having skylights. I worked in the building and the binoculars are sculptural only and do not contain areas of the office.
11/05/11: Removed link to website as it leads to a parking page. Also, I don't know about the rest of the companies listed on this page but Google is now a tenant of the building. Ddreier (talk) 01:41, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

message: stated "Omitted "his last project in LA until the Walt Disney Concert Hall began construction in 1999" becasue this is not a significant fact. While it is true that Gehry had no LA projects between 1991-1999, this bit of info is not needed here.".
This information is relevant; Gehry built many projects in Los Angeles, so taking time off is worth noting. It's not much different than saying "Reagan was president of the United States, followed by Bush". This article is very sparse, it'd be better to put efforts into building it than removing cited information. It might not belong in the lede, but the article isn't long enough to be anything but lede at this point. tedder (talk) 00:29, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Folks, I removed a citation that did not support the claim at hand (I checked carefully).  
I remember this interesting point about the artwork and the building, and this article used to have a different citation for this point from the Public Art in Public Places organization.  I see at some time it was removed without a stated reason.  I invite anyone to weigh in here, because I believe there has been an unfounded vendetta against what are clearly legitimate citations from this source.  The correct citation for this point should be to "Giant Binoculars" (1991) by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.  I myself am actually too AFRAID of that editor's vendetta wrath against that org. to do the good job and put the best citation in.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8001:2E07:265D:A0D1:DFBA:C5A8:90EF (talk) 20:00, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The entry on Public Arts in Public Places was deleted as unnotable, as agreed by several editors and an administrator. Many (I think it was more than 80) of the PAiPP cites placed in Wikipedia article were removed along the way  for the same reason. Your alleging this is/was a "vendetta" reminds me of some of name-calling that ensued in that discussion. The point did not hold up under scrutiny and is as inflammatory as it is unsupported.
