Talk:Bishopsgate Tower

Financial Problems

I heard that the developer was unable to secure a loan 2 or 3 months ago and the building will only be build to the 2nd floor. As I have not seen the lift shaft go up for the last month I think it might be true but I can not find any news articles on it.

Height

Recently it's proposed height was scaled down, meaning that it will be shorter than the Shard London Bridge, the article needs to be changed to reflect this, but I'm afraid I don't know the exact figures. Jamandell (d69) 11:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I have permission from Union Investments to use an official rendering, but I don't know what image tags/information to use for uploading. Wikipedia seems to delete anything I attempt to upload... Wjfox2005 16:47, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Will - someone may be deleting your images in preference of his "own" renderings. Chap in question is a known nuisance around here and we're working on a way to deal with him.

I work for the company that rendered this image, www.cityscape3d.com there are copyright issues with this image that i'm persuing within the company, however we should at least be referenced directly on the file attributes, not just through skyscrapernews.com Alastair 10:14, 25th July 2007

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Support - as per nomination. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 14:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose the name is likely to change and names need standardising accross all building articles relating to skyscrapers in the uk. The postal address seems the most logical way of standardising names as it is not going to change over time.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:11, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support. Common name should be used unless a case for using systematic names over common names for buildings of this type is made and agreed. Andrewa (talk) 00:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support. As per nom. --203.220.171.83 (talk) 11:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support. See my comments on the Tower 42 and Shard London Bridge talk pages. Wjfox2005 (talk) 21:59, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
