Nickname

The citation for the nickname lists both "The Walkie Talkie" and "The Pint", yet this second name was not in the article. When I added it, it was removed. Why? 85.159.85.2 (talk) 10:30, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two years ago, someone may have said it resembles a "Pint", but I am based near the building and have never, not even once, heard it be referred to as that. It is known almost universally as "the Walkie-Talkie" in both common usage and the press. --TBM10 (talk) 12:35, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So we should ignore the cited newspaper article in favour of your opinion? 85.159.85.2 (talk) 07:52, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not my opinion, it's fact. There are a hundred other citations we could use which universally and exclusively refer to it as the Walkie-Talkie. --TBM10 (talk) 12:45, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone is calling it "The Pint", and the FT article does, then it is not "universally and exclusively" known as the walkie talkie so that is not a fact, it is an opinion. 85.159.85.2 (talk) 12:54, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Artist's impression

Is there any reason I shouldn't upload this onto the main article? Everyone wants to know what it'll look like and they shouldn't have to google it. http://londonist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/wtmain.jpg --RatnimSnave (talk) 16:21, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Height dilemma

Is that 180 metres? [1]

Sun Reflection

There have been reports of the building reflecting and focusing sunlight onto cars and other things so intensely that they melt http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-23930675 and http://news.uk.msn.com/trending-blog/skyscraper-walkie-talkie-heat-ray-strikes-again/

I'm not familiar with the rules and conventions of editing wikipedia articles, would someone who is be willing to update the article to include mention of this?
