Talk:Carnegie Hall Tower

message: The (well-sourced) statement that, at 50 feet wide, CHT was "among the world's most slender buildings at its completion" is blatantly false, as a moment's thought regarding small buildings should make quite obvious (have you ever seen a cottage? a shed?). It's like claiming that someone who's 7 foot 3 is "among the world's tallest organisms".
We could remove it entirely. We could say "Architectural historian Michael J. Crosbie has called it one of the world's most slender buildings". We could say it's one of the world's most slender skyscrapers.

message: A fellow MC '88 alum tells me there was some skepticism regarding the "Buttplug!" and "Relinquish the ball!" cheers that were so popular throughout the late 1980s up in the Morse section of the bowl.

I tried my best to summarize details like the ANTA Washington Square Theatre and the pre-1965 history. However, there are many things still missing, such as LCT's subscription seasons at other theaters like the Lyceum Theatre (Broadway).

message: As I've done at several other Ottoman mosque articles, I've made some overall revisions and expansion. Feel free to provide feedback or ask about anything that looks off.
In sum: I've removed some unsourced statements, revised some with citations, and tagged others. I've dissolved the massive gallery at the end in favour of smaller section-specific galleries more relevant to the text (see WP:GALLERY and MOS:IMAGES). Other than that, I've mostly expanded the architecture section and reorganized a little: the old "Exterior" vs "Interior" division was too awkward when it come to discussing the domed prayer hall's structure, which requires reference to both the interior and exterior (as is done in most cited references).
There are still plenty of details that could be elaborated. Several of the main references cited include more details about the mosque's construction (like logistics and expenses), its materials, and further information about the other buildings of the complex.

Talk:Gage Group Buildings

message: Just for clarification, what are we considering the five standing Sullivan buildings?  Obviously, the Gage, Carson Pirie Scott, the Auditorium Building are three.  Holy Trinity Cathedral is another. I would also count Pilgrim Baptist Church (which is technically still standing, though greatly compromised) and the Charnley House (which while some attribute to Wright alone, came out of Sullivan's office so must be considered one of his works).  That makes six, seven if you count the parish house for the Holy Trinity Cathedral, which is attached to the main church at its rear, but could be considered a separate structure.
There are many more than five. The facades for the Barker-Haskwell buildings on Wabash, the Krause Music Store in Lincoln Square, the Ryerson and Getty tombs to name a few. Then, of course, there are the Adler and Sullivan buildings, like the Jewelers Building, the Charnley-Persky House in Gold Coast, the Kaufman Store in Lakeview, the Halsted House in Old Town, and the Mannheimer House in Lincoln Park. I don't know where the author is getting the 5 number from.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:1:64B0:4C7C:62B4:91EB:A1C7 (talk) 14:48, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral (Chicago)

message: I think the statement "one of only two churches designed by Louis Sullivan" needs clarification.  For one, what was the other church?  I suppose it is St. Paul's in Cedar Rapids, even though according to this article by Blair Kamen it started out as a Sullivan design — but he resigned the commission rather than alter a plan that was beyond the congregation's budget.  Another architect finished the project.  
Also, the "two churches" comment omits at least two Jewish temples that Adler & Sullivan designed together, Zion Temple and K.A.M. Isaiah Israel Temple (later Pilgrim Baptist Church).  Yes, I know churches and temples aren't quite the same thing, but if we infer "churches" to mean "houses of worship" in general, the statement is clearly false.

**On September 11 2007, in Lausanne, Switzerland, Tunisian swimmer Oussama Mellouli was stripped of his 2007 world championship by the Court of Arbitration for Sport – for doping. He was also given an 18-month suspension, made retroactive to 30 November 2006.  This means, that while he loses two worlds championship medals from 2007 World Aquatics Championships held in Melbourne in March 2007, he still has a chance to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. 
With his 2007 results vacated, he loses the historic distinction of having become the first Arab competitor to win a world swimming championship (800 m freestyle). Przemysław Stańczyk (:pl:Przemysław Stańczyk) of Poland takes over as reigning world champion.  The other affected Melbourne result is 400 m freestyle.
