Aftermath?

Can we call it that if it's still on going? Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk

Unnecessary mentions

Hi,

I noticed that User:70.74.151.98 felt the need to share the opinion of his hero, Sadiq Khan. I do not think the insertion was necessary, and while my edit summary may have been rude, the article is about the fire.

Since the aftermath is still in progress, I found it quite tasteless that the only content this person ever thought of contributing to wikipedia was about his hero "SADEEQ" *flick t-shirt, sort of like the "Faith Hilling" from South Park*.

I bet it will be reverted because this site is all about MUHS LIMM VAY all the TIME! 218.15.128.62 (talk) 05:40, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Council housing

Quick question: Is Grenfell Tower - or was it built as - council housing? I think it'd be worth mentioning in the opening paragraph as a description of the tenancy of the building, or at least in the background section. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:48, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was built a part of the Lancaster West Estate. Not sure whether it counts as a WP:RS for facts, but this image on Geograph states that it was designed by Terry Farrell and Nicholas Grimshaw. This info should be sourceable by those with and interest in architects. I'll take a look at The Times archives and see what I can find. Mjroots (talk) 06:06, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It clearly was council housing when it was built. — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 06:08, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It remains council housing. AusLondonder (talk) 06:14, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Storeys, The Time fire started ?

The Telegraph writes the fire started at different time and they say, that building has 27 storeys. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/14/everything-know-grenfell-tower-blaze/ (195.14.165.61 (talk) 06:16, 14 June 2017 (UTC))[reply]
